Events
Match Events
- 0' It’s Showtime! The match between CR Flamengo and Fluminense FC is underway.
- 5' 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.
- 10' The home supporters are growing impatient. CR Flamengo must find a spark to ignite this game.
- 15' CR Flamengo are deployed in a today, looking to exploit space against Fluminense FC's shape.
- 20' CR Flamengo looks like a favorite considering 2 games won in last 2 matches with its main striker Pedro scoring 2 goals.
- 25' It’s high time Marcelo Oliveira made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
- 30' Fluminense FC are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
- 35' 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.
- 40' Marcos Junior has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 40 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 45' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His CR Flamengo side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
- 50' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Leo Duarte made 399 appearances and scored 1 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 55' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 2 times this season with CR Flamengo winning 100% of all matches.
- 60' The energy levels are beginning to show. Dorival Junior might look to freshen things up shortly.
- 65' Fluminense FC are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
- 70' Vitinho has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
- 75' 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 Willian Arao suffering a number of foals already.
- 80' CR Flamengo started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 80.
- 85' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
- 90' CR Flamengo have won 635 goals from 399 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
- Fluminense FC will have plenty to reflect on. CR Flamengo were simply the better side today.
