Events
Match Events
- 0' The game is set. Ceará SC kicks off things out of here…
- 5' Alex Sandro needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Red cards this season.
- 10' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
- 15' CR Flamengo currently sit in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
- 20' CR Flamengo are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
- 25' CR Flamengo have won 595 goals from 382 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
- 30' 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 Marllon suffering a number of foals already.
- 35' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering CR Flamengo that had 382 games and scored 595 goals.
- 37' Against the run of play, Samuel Lino has scored! This game has turned on its head.
- 42' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
- 46' The Ceara SC manager makes a substitution. Paulo Baya departs to be replaced by Fernandinho.
- 51' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
- 56' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 0 times this season with winning -% of all matches.
- 61' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
- 63' Giorgian De Arrascaeta makes way for Gonzalo Plata at the 63 minute mark. A tactical switch from CR Flamengo.
- 68' The energy levels are beginning to show. Filipe Luis might look to freshen things up shortly.
- 69' The Ceara SC manager makes a substitution. Fernando Sobral departs to be replaced by Lourenco.
- 74' Danilo Luiz da Silva has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 47 cards already picked up this season.
- 76' The CR Flamengo bench stirs into life. Jorge Carrascal is withdrawn and Luiz Araujo gets his opportunity.
- 81' Ceará SC 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.
- 83' Vina has so much to prove this time. He replaces Vinicius Zanocelo on 83 minute.
- 85' The CR Flamengo manager makes a substitution. Jorginho departs to be replaced by Nicolas de la Cruz.
