Events
Match Events
- 0' That's the starting whistle at ARENA MRV. Ninety minutes of football awaits between CA Mineiro and Sao Paulo FC.
- 5' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Sao Paulo FC that had 377 games and scored 411 goals.
- 9' It’s gonna be a card for Rodrigo Battaglia.
- 13' A stunning finish from Eduardo Vargas — that came from absolutely nowhere!
- 18' Lucas Moura has been a constant threat and now delivers with a goal on 18 minutes.
- 23' The travelling Sao Paulo FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 28' Supporters expect more eagerness from Alan Franco, as he is very good at scoring at ARENA MRV with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
- 33' With 0 assists to his name this season, Wellington Rato is clearly more than just a goal scorer for Sao Paulo FC.
- 38' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
- 43' Sao Paulo FC fans have not had much to celebrate tonight. Their side is struggling to get forward.
- 44' The referee reaches into his pocket. Out comes the card for Hulk.
- 48' Sensational shot from Paulinho. CA Mineiro is back in the lead.
- 53' 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.
- 58' It’s high time Gabriel Milito made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
- 59' Alan Franco has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a card on 59.
- 64' 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 Gustavo Scarpa suffering a number of foals already.
- 66' Sao Paulo FC ring the changes. Luciano has done his job and it is now time for Rodrigo Nestor to step up.
- 71' Sao Paulo FC come into this ranked in Array. They desperately need points to push themselves up the standings.
- 73' It is a substitution in CA Mineiro team. Eduardo Vargas is replaced by Cadu on 73 minute.
- 78' Matheus Mendes, a Brazil , has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
- 80' The Sao Paulo FC manager makes a substitution. Igor Vinicius departs to be replaced by Rafinha.
- 83' A moment of madness from Luiz Gustavo on 83 minutes earns him a card. Sao Paulo FC will be frustrated.
- 86' Fresh legs for Sao Paulo FC! Andre Silva comes on to replace Jonathan Calleri.
- 90' Time for substitution for CA Mineiro. Paulinho is replaced by Brahian Palacios.
- Both sets of fans can go home satisfied — a 2-1 draw is a fair result on the day.
