Events

Match Events

  • 0' The game is set. Botafogo FR kicks off things out of here…
  • 5' SE Palmeiras started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 5.
  • 10' Botafogo FR are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
  • 15' Weverton has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
  • 20' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Botafogo FR needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 25' The home supporters are growing impatient. Botafogo FR must find a spark to ignite this game.
  • 30' Botafogo FR currently sit in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
  • 32' The referee reaches into his pocket. Out comes the card for Anibal Moreno.
  • 37' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His Botafogo FR side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
  • 42' A quiet spell here at Estadio Nilton Santos. Botafogo FR seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
  • 45' Felipe Anderson doubles the advantage! 0-1 and this game is slipping away from the opposition.
  • 50' Bruno Fuchs has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 18 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 55' SE Palmeiras has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 2 of the last 2 meetings.
  • 59' Danilo dos Santos de Oliveira is replacing Allan for the Botafogo FR side.
  • 64' Both keepers have barely been tested. Botafogo FR and SE Palmeiras are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
  • 65' It’s a booking for SE Palmeiras player. Murilo Cerqueira gets a card.
  • 66' The supporters are chanting for Alvaro Montoro. He replaces Nathan Ribeiro on 66 minute.
  • 71' Another substitution for SE Palmeiras to replace Felipe Anderson by Allan on 71 minute.
  • 74' The referee does not hesitate — a card for Danilo dos Santos de Oliveira on 74 minutes.
  • 78' Vitinho is replacing Alexander Barboza for the Botafogo FR side.
  • 83' Time for substitution for SE Palmeiras. Khellven is replaced by Agustin Giay.
  • 88' It looks surprising Botafogo FR does not make any changes. Nathan Ribeiro has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • With this win, SE Palmeiras is likely to improve its situation in the overall team standings.
