Events
Match Events
- 0' The match kicks off with home fans waiting with anticipation for Botafogo FR to score. At the same time, Seattle Sounders FC does not seem to pull back! Let’s get it on!
- 5' Osaze De Rosario has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 16 appearances with only 2 goals this season.
- 10' It looks like no one’s ball. Botafogo FR is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 15' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 20' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Albert Rusnak made 280 appearances and scored 77 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 25' Botafogo FR 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.
- 27' It’s gonna be a card for Nouhou Tolo.
- 28' Goal! Jair Paula scores his 1 goal in 284 matches.
- 33' John needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Red cards this season.
- 38' 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.
- 43' It looks surprising Botafogo FR does not make any changes. Jefferson Savarino has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 44' What a strike from Igor Jesus! The score is 2-0.
- 46' The whistle greets Nouhou Tolo as he departs to be replaced by Reed Baker-Whiting.
- 51' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 51 minutes.
- 56' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 1 times this season with Botafogo FR winning 100% of all matches.
- 61' It’s gonna be a card for Alexander Barboza.
- 64' A meaty challenge results in booking for Joaquin Correa on 64.
- 69' Botafogo FR started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 69.
- 70' Time for substitution for Botafogo FR. Alex Telles is replaced by Cuiabano.
- 71' It is a substitution in Seattle Sounders FC team. Jesus Ferreira is replaced by Pedro De la Vega on 71 minute.
- 75' GOAL! Cristian Roldan scores on 75. Assisted by Paul Rothrock
- 80' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Botafogo FR that had 341 games and scored 352 goals.
- 84' The whistle greets Danny Musovski as he departs to be replaced by Osaze De Rosario.
- 86' The Botafogo FR manager makes a substitution. Marlon Freitas departs to be replaced by Danilo Barbosa.
