Events
Match Events
- 0' Both captains have shaken hands and the referee is ready. We are underway at Engenhao!
- 5' The travelling CR Vasco da Gama supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 9' Jefferson Savarino does the damage! The net is bulging and Botafogo FR surge ahead!
- 12' The deadlock is broken! Luiz Henrique gets on the scoresheet on 12 minutes.
- 17' 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.
- 22' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 22 minutes.
- 27' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Artur Jorge will be considering his options from the bench.
- 32' It looks like no one’s ball. CR Vasco da Gama is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 37' A quiet spell here at Engenhao. CR Vasco da Gama seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
- 38' That looks like a foul for a card for Joao Victor.
- 43' It’s a booking for CR Vasco da Gama player. Joao Victor gets a card.
- 45' Time for substitution for CR Vasco da Gama. Jean Meneses is replaced by Maicon.
- 46' Another substitution for CR Vasco da Gama to replace Dimitri Payet by Pablo Galdames on 46 minute.
- 51' Vitinho has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
- 56' 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 Pablo Galdames suffering a number of foals already.

- 76' Paulo Henrique is having his name booked by the referee on 76.
- 77' A change in the Botafogo FR ranks — Vitinho exits the field as Allan enters on 77.
- 82' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
- 87' Another change for CR Vasco da Gama made on 87 minute. Paulo Henrique leaves to be changed by Robert Rojas.
