Events
Match Events
- 0' The stage is set the green flag drops! Another match against CA Mineiro and Botafogo FR has kicked off!
- 5' Botafogo FR is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 10' CA Mineiro 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.
- 15' Ivan Roman needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Red cards this season.
- 20' 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.
- 23' Mateo Cassierra puts CA Mineiro on the lead.
- 27' It’s gonna be a card for Alex Telles.
- 32' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Neto made 419 appearances and scored 0 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 37' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
- 42' CA Mineiro started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 42.
- 47' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering CA Mineiro that had 470 games and scored 469 goals.
- 52' Supporters expect more eagerness from Tomas Cuello, as he is very good at scoring at ARENA MRV with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
- 57' Junior Alonso has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 49 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 62' 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 0% of all matches.
- 67' 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 Arthur Cabral suffering a number of foals already.
- 72' It looks like no one’s ball. Botafogo FR is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 77' 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.
- 82' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 87' 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.
- 90' What a strike from Arthur Cabral! The score is 1-1.
- 90' That looks like a foul for a card for Mateo Ponte.
- The final score is 1-1.
