Events
Match Events
- 0' KICK OFF: CR Flamengo gets underway.
- 5' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His CA Paranaense side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
- 10' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both CA Paranaense and CR Flamengo are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
- 11' Stiven Mendoza doubles the advantage! 1-0 and this game is slipping away from the opposition.
- 16' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
- 21' The energy levels are beginning to show. Leonardo Jardim might look to freshen things up shortly.
- 25' That is a card for CR Flamengo. Jorge Carrascal will be fuming at that decision.
- 30' CR Flamengo started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 30.
- 35' CA Paranaense has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 1 of the last 1 meetings.
- 40' It’s gonna be a card for Stiven Mendoza.
- 45' named a 3-4-2-1 earlier, and opted for a 4-2-3-1 in response. A fascinating tactical duel is developing.
- 50' A quiet spell here at Estadio Mario Celso Petraglia. CR Flamengo seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
- 55' CA Paranaense are deployed in a 3-4-2-1 today, looking to exploit space against CR Flamengo's 4-2-3-1 shape.
- 56' The referee calls foul for Jadson. He receives a card.
- 61' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
- 66' CA Paranaense are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined CR Flamengo backline.
- 71' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
- 76' CR Flamengo have won 595 goals from 382 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
- 81' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 1 times this season with CA Paranaense winning 100% of all matches.
- 86' 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 Kevin Viveros suffering a number of foals already.
- Time to leave. No sensation happened. Another win for CA Paranaense players.
