Events

Match Events

  • 0' And we are off! America FC vs Sao Paulo FC — let the football do the talking.
  • 5' The home supporters are growing impatient. America FC must find a spark to ignite this game.
  • 10' America FC currently sit in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
  • 15' Jucilei, a Brazil , has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
  • 20' Sidao has been relatively quiet despite scoring 0 goals in his last 383 appearances.
  • 25' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
  • 30' Both keepers have barely been tested. America FC and Sao Paulo FC are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
  • 35' Eder Militao has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
  • 40' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 45' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Jori suffering a number of foals already.
  • 50' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
  • 55' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 55 minutes.
  • 60' Sao Paulo FC is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 65' It looks like no one’s ball. Sao Paulo FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 70' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
  • 75' Serginho is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for Sao Paulo FC tonight.
  • 80' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Sao Paulo FC that had 383 games and scored 417 goals.
  • 85' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
  • 90' Sao Paulo FC fans have not had much to celebrate tonight. Their side is struggling to get forward.
  • Full Time. Sao Paulo FC beats America FC
