Events
Match Events

- 10' Brazil international Renatinho has been a key figure this campaign — 0 goals and 0 assists in the Array this season.
- 15' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
- 20' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
- 25' Rodrigo Aguirre has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 38 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 30' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
- 35' Both keepers have barely been tested. CA Paranaense and Botafogo FR are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
- 40' CA Paranaense 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.
- 45' Botafogo FR is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 50' Over 50 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
- 55' It looks surprising Botafogo FR does not make any changes. Marcio Azevedo has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 60' CA Paranaense are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined Botafogo FR backline.
- 65' With 0 assists to his name this season, Luiz Fernando is clearly more than just a goal scorer for Botafogo FR.
- 70' 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.
- 75' CA Paranaense are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
- 80' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Ze Ricardo will be considering his options from the bench.
- 85' 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.
- 90' 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 Igor Rabello suffering a number of foals already.
- It finishes all square. CA Paranaense and Botafogo FR share the spoils 2-1.
