Events

Match Events

  • 0' Three points are at stake. Botafogo FR host Sao Paulo FC — let the battle begin!
  • 5' The energy levels are beginning to show. Artur Jorge might look to freshen things up shortly.
  • 10' A quiet spell here at Engenhao. Sao Paulo FC seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
  • 15' Marcos Antonio needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Red cards this season.
  • 20' Igor Odoni has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 0 goals to his name this season.
  • 25' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 30' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Luis Zubeldía will be considering his options from the bench.
  • 35' Andre Silva is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for Sao Paulo FC tonight.
  • 37' Jefferson Savarino doubles the advantage! 1-0 and this game is slipping away from the opposition.
  • 42' 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 Alan Franco suffering a number of foals already.
  • 47' Brazil international William da Silva has been a key figure this campaign — 3 goals and 2 assists in the Array this season.
  • 52' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Botafogo FR that had 358 games and scored 367 goals.
  • 57' Joao Moreira has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
  • 60' Igor Vinicius makes way for Michel Araujo at the 60 minute mark. A tactical switch from Sao Paulo FC.
  • 63' Goal! William da Silva scores his 7 goal in 387 matches.
  • 68' Botafogo FR manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Allan is hanging Marlon Freitas on the field on 68 minute.
  • 73' Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.
  • 78' It’s high time Luis Zubeldía made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 81' Another change for Botafogo FR made on 81 minute. Thiago Almada leaves to be changed by Tche Tche.
  • 82' Fresh legs for Sao Paulo FC! Rodrigo Huendra comes on to replace Marcos Antonio.
  • 87' Sao Paulo FC 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.
  • 90' Rafael gets the nod from Botafogo FR. He replaces Luiz Henrique and will look to change the dynamic.
  • Another three points for Botafogo FR.
