Events

Match Events

  • 0' It’s Showtime! The match between CR Flamengo and EC Bahia is underway.
  • 5' 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.
  • 10' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
  • 15' It is a cagey affair so far. CR Flamengo in their 4-2-3-1 trying to find a way past EC Bahia's compact 4-3-3.
  • 17' A goal from the Uruguay international Giorgian De Arrascaeta! He fires home on 17 to make it 1-0!
  • 18' Giorgian De Arrascaeta was booked on 18.
  • 23' named a 4-2-3-1 earlier, and opted for a 4-3-3 in response. A fascinating tactical duel is developing.
  • 28' It looks like no one’s ball. EC Bahia is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 33' Leo Pereira has been relatively quiet despite scoring 15 goals in his last 373 appearances.
  • 38' CR Flamengo are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
  • 43' CR Flamengo is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 44' That looks like a foul for a card for Leo Pereira.
  • 46' Everaldo is replacing Willian Jose for the EC Bahia side.
  • 51' CR Flamengo started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 51.
  • 56' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Gonzalo Plata made 505 appearances and scored 13 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 61' Michel Araujo is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for CR Flamengo so far.
  • 66' CR Flamengo manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Bruno Henrique is hanging Samuel Lino on the field on 66 minute.
  • 71' CR Flamengo currently sit 2 in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
  • 74' Fresh legs for EC Bahia! Michel Araujo comes on to replace Everton Ribeiro.
  • 79' Giorgian De Arrascaeta makes way for Nicolas de la Cruz at the 79 minute mark. A tactical switch from CR Flamengo.
  • 80' Magnificent from Lucas Paqueta! That is 71 goals in 382 appearances — and it could not have come at a better time.
  • 85' CR Flamengo ring the changes. Pedro has done his job and it is now time for Everton to step up.
  • 90' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering EC Bahia that had 326 games and scored 350 goals.
  • Both sets of fans can go home satisfied — a 2-0 draw is a fair result on the day.
