Events

Match Events

  • 0' It’s Showtime! The match between CR Flamengo and Cruzeiro EC is underway.
  • 5' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. CR Flamengo needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 10' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Cruzeiro EC that had 253 games and scored 214 goals.
  • 15' Cruzeiro EC fans have not had much to celebrate tonight. Their side is struggling to get forward.
  • 16' GOAL! Pedro fires home to make it 1-0!
  • 21' Over 21 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
  • 22' That looks like a foul for a card for Luiz Araujo.
  • 26' A meaty challenge results in booking for Kaiki Bruno on 26.
  • 31' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 31 minutes.
  • 36' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
  • 38' Magnificent from Matheus Pereira! That is 40 goals in 295 appearances — and it could not have come at a better time.
  • 43' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
  • 46' Leo Ortiz has so much to prove this time. He replaces Lorran on 46 minute.
  • 51' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
  • 56' Cruzeiro EC are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
  • 61' It looks like no one’s ball. Cruzeiro EC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 64' Controversy at the stadium! Joao Marcelo argues furiously but the card stands.
  • 65' Clinical. Composed. Brilliant. Fabricio Bruno makes it 2-1.
  • 67' Cruzeiro EC ring the changes. Neris has done his job and it is now time for Lucas Villalba to step up.
  • 72' CR Flamengo is showing some good football. However, CR Flamengo are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 73' Cruzeiro EC make a change. Gabriel Veron trudges off to be replaced by Mateus Vital on 73 minutes.
  • 78' Werton is replacing Bruno Henrique for the CR Flamengo side.
  • 83' 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.

  • 89' It is a substitution in Cruzeiro EC team. Ramiro is replaced by Machado on 89 minute.
  • 90' The referee reaches into his pocket. Out comes the card for William.
  • Cruzeiro EC will have plenty to reflect on. CR Flamengo were simply the better side today.
