Events
Match Events
- 0' The match kicks off with home fans waiting with anticipation for America FC to score. At the same time, Botafogo FR does not seem to pull back! Let’s get it on!
- 5' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Botafogo FR needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
- 10' Botafogo FR seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.
- 15' Tiquinho Soares has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 49 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 20' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 22' Junior Santos puts Botafogo FR on the lead.
- 27' It looks surprising Botafogo FR does not make any changes. Marlon Freitas has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 32' It looks like no one’s ball. America FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 37' 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 Gonzalo Mastriani suffering a number of foals already.
- 39' GOAL! Martin Benitez scores on 39. Assisted by Gonzalo Mastriani
- 44' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Botafogo FR that had 341 games and scored 352 goals.
- 49' Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.
- 50' What a strike from Junior Santos! The score is 1-2.
- 55' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Joao Victor made 39 appearances and scored 23 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 58' The America FC manager makes a substitution. Nicolas Vichiatto departs to be replaced by Marlon.
- 60' Botafogo FR player sees a Yellow card in front of him.
- 64' The Botafogo FR manager makes a substitution. Adryelson departs to be replaced by Philipe Sampaio.
- 65' It is a substitution in America FC team. Martin Benitez is replaced by Juan Cazares on 65 minute.
- 68' The whistle greets Joao Victor as he departs to be replaced by Luis Henrique.
- 72' That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Ale.
- 77' Ricardo Silva Potiguar needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 10 Yellow cards this season.
- 81' The whistle greets Junior Santos as he departs to be replaced by Bastos.
- 82' The supporters are chanting for Diego Costa. He replaces Tiquinho Soares on 82 minute.
- 87' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
- The final score is 1-2.
