Events
Match Events
- 0' The wait is over. CR Flamengo get us underway at Estadio Mario Celso Petraglia.
- 5' CA Paranaense are deployed in a 3-4-2-1 today, looking to exploit space against CR Flamengo's 4-2-3-1 shape.
- 10' The home supporters are growing impatient. CA Paranaense must find a spark to ignite this game.
- 11' GOAL! Stiven Mendoza scores on 11.
- 16' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
- 21' CR Flamengo is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 25' Jorge Carrascal was booked on 25.
- 30' CR Flamengo are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
- 35' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Guillermo Varela made 105 appearances and scored 2 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 40' Stiven Mendoza has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a card on 40.
- 45' Lucas Paqueta has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
- 50' It looks like no one’s ball. CR Flamengo is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 55' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering CA Paranaense that had 383 games and scored 390 goals.
- 56' CA Paranaense receives a card for a hard tackle on 56.
- 61' It’s high time Leonardo Jardim made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
- 66' Supporters expect more eagerness from Kevin Viveros, as he is very good at scoring at Estadio Mario Celso Petraglia with 5 goals in the last 4 games.
- 71' A quiet spell here at Estadio Mario Celso Petraglia. CA Paranaense seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
- 76' 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 Leo Pereira suffering a number of foals already.
- 81' Santos is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for CR Flamengo tonight.
- 86' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
- The points are shared — CA Paranaense 1-0 CR Flamengo. Honours even.
