Events

Match Events

  • 0' That's the starting whistle at Maracana. Ninety minutes of football awaits between CR Flamengo and Cruzeiro EC.
  • 5' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
  • 10' It looks surprising Cruzeiro EC does not make any changes. Matheus Pereira has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 15' 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 Luiz Araujo suffering a number of foals already.
  • 16' Assisted by Gerson with the perfectly-timed delivery and Pedro makes no mistake. 1-0!
  • 21' Gerson is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for CR Flamengo so far.
  • 22' The referee has no hesitation. Luiz Araujo is booked for CR Flamengo — card on 22.
  • 26' Controversy at the stadium! Kaiki Bruno argues furiously but the card stands.
  • 31' Both keepers have barely been tested. CR Flamengo and Cruzeiro EC are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
  • 36' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
  • 38' Clinical. Composed. Brilliant. Matheus Pereira makes it 1-1.
  • 43' 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.
  • 46' Leo Ortiz is replacing Lorran for the CR Flamengo side.
  • 51' 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.
  • 56' CR Flamengo looks like a favorite considering 1 games won in last 1 matches with its main striker scoring 0 goals.
  • 61' It is a cagey affair so far. CR Flamengo in their 4-2-3-1 trying to find a way past Cruzeiro EC's compact 4-3-3.
  • 64' Joao Marcelo catches the referee's attention in entirely the wrong way. card on 64.
  • 65' CR Flamengo is taking the lead after the goal scored by Fabricio Bruno on 65.
  • 67' The Cruzeiro EC bench stirs into life. Neris is withdrawn and Lucas Villalba gets his opportunity.

  • 78' It is a substitution in CR Flamengo team. Bruno Henrique is replaced by Werton on 78 minute.
  • 83' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
  • 88' 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.
  • 89' Ramiro makes way for Machado at the 89 minute mark. A tactical switch from Cruzeiro EC.
  • 90' A meaty challenge results in booking for William on 90.
