Events

Match Events

  • 5' Kanu has been relatively quiet despite scoring 2 goals in his last 358 appearances.
  • 10' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both Botafogo FR and EC Bahia are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
  • 15' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering EC Bahia that had 342 games and scored 373 goals.
  • 20' 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.
  • 25' The referee has no hesitation. Juninho Capixaba is booked for EC Bahia — Yellow card on 25.
  • 27' The referee calls foul for Victor Luis. He receives a Yellow card.
  • 32' Botafogo FR is showing some good football. However, Botafogo FR are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 37' EC Bahia started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 37.
  • 42' Magnificent from Gilberto! That is 45 goals in 342 appearances — and it could not have come at a better time.
  • 46' Fresh legs for Botafogo FR! Federico Barrandeguy comes on to replace Kevin.
  • 51' Daniel needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Red cards this season.
  • 56' The supporters are chanting for Matheus Babi. He replaces Bruno Nazario on 56 minute.
  • 57' The referee reaches into his pocket. Out comes the Yellow card for Marco Antonio.
  • 60' The whistle greets Marco Antonio as he departs to be replaced by Rossi.
  • 61' Another substitution for EC Bahia to replace Eric Ramires by Ronaldo on 61 minute.
  • 66' A quiet spell here at Estadio Nilton Santos. Botafogo FR seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
  • 67' Federico Barrandeguy has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a Yellow card on 67.
  • 68' Elber is replacing Elias for the EC Bahia side.
  • 73' Botafogo FR currently sit in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
  • 75' It is a substitution in EC Bahia team. Gilberto is replaced by Saldanha on 75 minute.
  • 80' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
  • 84' Warley has so much to prove this time. He replaces Carlos Renteria on 84 minute.
  • 84' GOAL! Elber fires home to make it 0-2!
  • 89' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 90' The referee does not hesitate — a Red card for Federico Barrandeguy on 90 minutes.
  • Both sets of fans can go home satisfied — a 1-2 draw is a fair result on the day.
