  • 19' What a strike from Joao Victor! The score is 2-0.
  • 24' 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.
  • 29' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. CR Flamengo needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
