- 28' Supporters expect more eagerness from Agustin Rossi, as he is very good at scoring at Maracana with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
- 33' It looks surprising CR Flamengo does not make any changes. Thiago Mendes has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 38' It looks like no one’s ball. CR Flamengo is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 41' Controversy at the stadium! Leo Pereira argues furiously but the card stands.
- 45' Gonzalo Plata is having his name booked by the referee on 45.
- 50' 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.

- 75' Guillermo Varela has been relatively quiet despite scoring 2 goals in his last 105 appearances.
- 80' 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.
