Events

Match Events

  • 0' The match kicks off with home fans waiting with anticipation for Botafogo FR to score. At the same time, Grêmio FBPA does not seem to pull back! Let’s get it on!
  • 5' Maicosuel has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 0 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 10' Grêmio FBPA looks like a favorite considering 1 games won in last 2 matches with its main striker Jovane Cabral scoring 1 goals.
  • 15' 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 Marcelo Oliveira suffering a number of foals already.
  • 20' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Grêmio FBPA needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 25' Grêmio FBPA has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 1 of the last 2 meetings.
  • 30' It’s high time Alberto Valentim made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 35' Renatinho is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for Botafogo FR tonight.
  • 40' Grêmio FBPA have won 393 goals from 336 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
  • 45' Grêmio FBPA come into this ranked in Array. They desperately need points to push themselves up the standings.
  • 50' Both keepers have barely been tested. Botafogo FR and Grêmio FBPA are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
  • 55' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
  • 60' Andre has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
  • 65' Grêmio FBPA are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
  • 70' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His Botafogo FR side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
  • 75' It looks like no one’s ball. Grêmio FBPA is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 80' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
  • 85' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 90' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
  • The points are shared — Botafogo FR 2-1 Grêmio FBPA. Honours even.
