Events

Match Events

  • 0' KICK OFF: Botafogo FR gets underway.
  • 5' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Rodrigo Pimpao made 344 appearances and scored 2 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 10' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
  • 15' EC Bahia are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
  • 20' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering EC Bahia that had 329 games and scored 352 goals.
  • 25' 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.
  • 30' EC Bahia is showing some good football. However, EC Bahia are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 35' Both keepers have barely been tested. Botafogo FR and EC Bahia are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
  • 40' Flavio has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 0 goals to his name this season.
  • 45' Botafogo FR have won 353 goals from 344 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
  • 50' Kieza has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
  • 55' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His Botafogo FR side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
  • 60' The travelling EC Bahia supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 65' EC Bahia has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 0 of the last 1 meetings.
  • 70' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 75' The home supporters are growing impatient. Botafogo FR must find a spark to ignite this game.
  • 80' Botafogo FR are deployed in a today, looking to exploit space against EC Bahia's shape.
  • 85' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
  • 90' Marcinho, a Brazil , has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
  • Botafogo FR will have plenty to reflect on. EC Bahia were simply the better side today.
