  • 31' 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.
  • 36' Yago Pikachu has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 33 appearances with only 2 goals this season.

  • 85' The crowd applauds Paulinho as he leaves the pitch. Edenilson steps in for CA Mineiro.
