Events
Match Events
- 0' The match kicks off with home fans waiting with anticipation for Botafogo FR to score. At the same time, SC Internacional does not seem to pull back! Let’s get it on!
- 5' Supporters expect more eagerness from Gustavo Prado, as he is very good at scoring at Estadio Nilton Santos with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
- 9' GOAL! Igor Jesus scores on 9. Assisted by Jeffinho
- 14' Ronaldo has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a card on 14.
- 19' SC Internacional is showing some good football. However, SC Internacional are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
- 24' 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.
- 29' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
- 34' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
- 39' SC Internacional looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 1 matches with its main striker Alexandro Bernabei scoring 1 goals.
- 44' GOAL! Artur Guimaraes scores on 44. Assisted by Marlon Freitas
- 46' SC Internacional manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Oscar Romero is hanging Thiago Maia on the field on 46 minute.
- 51' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
- 54' The deadlock is broken! Cuiabano gets on the scoresheet on 54 minutes.
- 59' SC Internacional manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Gustavo Prado is hanging Wesley on the field on 59 minute.
- 61' It is a substitution in Botafogo FR team. Marlon Freitas is replaced by Allan on 61 minute.
- 66' 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 Jair Paula suffering a number of foals already.
- 69' What a moment for Alex Telles! That strike on 69 puts his side firmly in control.
- 71' Rwan Seco has so much to prove this time. He replaces Igor Jesus on 71 minute.
- 76' 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.
- 77' Time for substitution for Botafogo FR. Alex Telles is replaced by Marcal.
- 80' The SC Internacional manager makes a substitution. Diego Rosa departs to be replaced by Gabriel Teixeira.
- 85' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Jeffinho made 424 appearances and scored 5 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 90' Botafogo FR are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
- That’s it! Another goalless match for Botafogo FR and SC Internacional (для сухой ничьи).
