Match Events
- 0' We are underway at Independencia. The crowd does wile while the referee lows the starting whistle.
- 5' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Pablo Maia made 366 appearances and scored 5 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 10' The travelling Sao Paulo FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 15' 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 Juninho suffering a number of foals already.
- 19' A meaty challenge results in booking for Leandro Martinez on 19.
- 24' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
- 29' Sao Paulo FC is showing some good football. However, Sao Paulo FC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
- 33' The referee calls foul for Felipe Azevedo. He receives a Yellow card.
- 36' That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Matheus Belem.
- 41' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 41 minutes.
- 46' The supporters are chanting for Lucas Moura. He replaces Juan Santos on 46 minute.
- 51' It looks like no one’s ball. America FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 56' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 61' Goal! Gonzalo Mastriani scores his 15 goal in 367 matches.
- 64' Sao Paulo FC manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Jonathan Calleri is hanging Luan on the field on 64 minute.
- 65' Breno has so much to prove this time. He replaces Rodriguinho on 65 minute.
- 66' The referee shows America FC player a Yellow card on 66.
