Events
Match Events
- 0' KICK OFF: Sao Paulo FC gets underway.
- 5' 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 Saravia suffering a number of foals already.
- 10' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Robert Arboleda made 384 appearances and scored 8 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 15' Diego has been relatively quiet despite scoring 2 goals in his last 384 appearances.
- 20' Botafogo FR are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.

- 45' A moment of madness from Patrick on 45 minutes earns him a Yellow card. Sao Paulo FC will be frustrated.
- 50' Sao Paulo FC is showing some good football. However, Sao Paulo FC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
- 51' It’s gonna be a Yellow card for Renzo Saravia.
- 56' Over 56 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
