- 14' What a strike from Leo Augusto! The score is 0-1.
- 19' It looks like no one’s ball. Botafogo FR is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 24' The referee shows Botafogo FR player a card on 24.
- 28' What a strike from Rafael Thyere! The score is 0-2.
- 30' What a strike from Artur Guimaraes! The score is 1-2.
- 35' Botafogo FR is showing some good football. However, Botafogo FR are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
- 39' Another substitution for Botafogo FR to replace Chris Ramos by Kadir Barria on 39 minute.
- 44' 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.

- 77' 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 Danilo dos Santos de Oliveira suffering a number of foals already.
- 78' The whistle greets Jefferson Savarino as he departs to be replaced by Alvaro Montoro.
