Events
Match Events
- 0' The wait is over. CA Mineiro get us underway at Independencia.
- 5' Junior Santos, a Brazil , has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
- 10' 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 Mariano suffering a number of foals already.
- 15' 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.
- 20' Botafogo FR has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 1 of the last 2 meetings.
- 25' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Artur Jorge will be considering his options from the bench.
- 30' Supporters expect more eagerness from Gregore, as he is very good at scoring at Independencia with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
- 35' Over 35 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
- 37' CA Mineiro receives a card for a hard tackle on 37.
- 40' That is a card for CA Mineiro. Rubens will be fuming at that decision.
- 45' Deyverson picks up a card and will need to be extremely careful for the remainder of this match.
- 46' CA Mineiro manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Igor Rabello is hanging Paulinho on the field on 46 minute.
- 51' Rubens has been relatively quiet despite scoring 4 goals in his last 489 appearances.
- 56' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
- 58' Junior Santos has so much to prove this time. He replaces Carlos Eduardo on 58 minute.
- 63' 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.

- 78' The crowd applauds Tiquinho Soares as he leaves the pitch. Igor Jesus steps in for Botafogo FR.
- 82' It’s gonna be a card for Matias Zaracho.
- 83' Another substitution for CA Mineiro to replace Matias Zaracho by Vitinho on 83 minute.

- 90' Bernard gets the nod from CA Mineiro. He replaces Otavio and will look to change the dynamic.
