  • 10' Botafogo FR started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 10.
  • 15' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
  • 20' EC Vitoria 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' Botafogo FR are deployed in a today, looking to exploit space against EC Vitoria's shape.
  • 30' Botafogo FR are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
  • 35' Renato Kayzer has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 21 appearances with only 2 goals this season.
  • 40' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
  • 45' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Davide Ancelotti will be considering his options from the bench.
  • 50' It’s high time Davide Ancelotti made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 55' 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.

  • 71' Time for substitution for Botafogo FR. Alvaro Montoro is replaced by Santiago Rodriguez.
  • 76' 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 Renzo Lopez suffering a number of foals already.
