Events
Match Events
- 0' It’s Showtime! The match between CR Flamengo and EC Bahia is underway.
- 5' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 5 minutes.
- 10' 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 Everaldo suffering a number of foals already.
- 15' 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.
- 17' What a strike from Giorgian De Arrascaeta! The score is 1-0.
- 18' That looks like a foul for a card for Giorgian De Arrascaeta.
- 23' CR Flamengo looks like a favorite considering 1 games won in last 1 matches with its main striker Giorgian De Arrascaeta scoring 1 goals.
- 28' 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.
- 33' 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.
- 38' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
- 43' It looks like no one’s ball. EC Bahia is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 44' That looks like a foul for a card for Leo Pereira.
- 46' Another change for EC Bahia made on 46 minute. Willian Jose leaves to be changed by Everaldo.
- 51' It looks surprising EC Bahia does not make any changes. Samuel Lino has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 56' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
- 61' CR Flamengo 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.
- 66' Bruno Henrique has so much to prove this time. He replaces Samuel Lino on 66 minute.
- 71' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. EC Bahia needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.

- 79' CR Flamengo manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Nicolas de la Cruz is hanging Giorgian De Arrascaeta on the field on 79 minute.
- 80' GOAL! Lucas Paqueta scores on 80. Assisted by Saul
- 85' Another substitution for CR Flamengo to replace Pedro by Everton on 85 minute.
- 90' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Gilberto made 381 appearances and scored 17 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- Hope, you loved the show. Another epic battle is over with the score 2-0.
