Events

Match Events

  • 0' KICK OFF: CR Flamengo gets underway.
  • 5' Both keepers have barely been tested. CR Flamengo and Esperance de Tunis are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
  • 10' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 10 minutes.
  • 15' 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.
  • 17' Goal! Giorgian De Arrascaeta scores his 67 goal in 251 matches.
  • 22' 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 Ayrton Lucas suffering a number of foals already.
  • 25' The referee does not hesitate — a card for Mohamed Ben Ali on 25 minutes.
  • 30' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 35' Esperance de Tunis started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 35.
  • 38' That is a card for Esperance de Tunis. Youcef Belaili will be fuming at that decision.
  • 43' Esperance de Tunis 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.
  • 46' Elias Mokwana gets the nod from Esperance de Tunis. He replaces Yan Sasse and will look to change the dynamic.
  • 51' Esperance de Tunis are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
  • 56' Esperance de Tunis fans have not had much to celebrate tonight. Their side is struggling to get forward.
  • 61' Elias Mokwana is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for Esperance de Tunis so far.
  • 64' Khalil Guenichi was booked on 64.
  • 65' Another substitution for CR Flamengo to replace Gerson by Gonzalo Plata on 65 minute.
  • 69' Controversy at the stadium! Amine Tougai argues furiously but the card stands.
  • 70' What composure from Luiz Araujo! The Brazil international strokes it home. 2-0.
  • 73' A change in the CR Flamengo ranks — Giorgian De Arrascaeta exits the field as Michael enters on 73.

  • 75' Mohamed Derbali is ready to make an impact after coming on for Rodrigo Rodrigues at the 75 minute mark.

  • 84' Another substitution for Esperance de Tunis to replace Mohamed Ben Ali by Raed Bouchniba on 84 minute.
  • 89' The Array continues to deliver drama. Both CR Flamengo and Esperance de Tunis are desperate not to drop points on matchday .
  • 90' A change in the CR Flamengo ranks — Luiz Araujo exits the field as Everton enters on 90.
  • Time to leave. No sensation happened. Another win for CR Flamengo players.
