Events

Match Events

  • 5' Supporters expect more eagerness from Bruno Henrique, as he is very good at scoring at Estadio Jornalista Mario Filho with 12 goals in the last 9 games.
  • 10' Kevin is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for Botafogo FR tonight.
  • 15' The travelling Botafogo FR supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 20' Botafogo FR is showing some good football. However, Botafogo FR are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 25' 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.
