Events
Match Events
- 0' KICK OFF: CR Flamengo gets underway.
- 5' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
- 10' The energy levels are beginning to show. Tite might look to freshen things up shortly.
- 15' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Fluminense FC that had 386 games and scored 415 goals.
- 20' It looks surprising Fluminense FC does not make any changes. Alexsander Gomes has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 22' Jhon Arias has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a Yellow card on 22.
- 27' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
- 32' 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 Gabriel Barbosa suffering a number of foals already.
- 35' Ganso picks up a Yellow card and will need to be extremely careful for the remainder of this match.
- 40' It’s high time Fernando Diniz made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
- 45' Fluminense FC is showing some good football. However, Fluminense FC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
- 46' Diogo Barbosa gets the nod from Fluminense FC. He replaces Marcelo and will look to change the dynamic.
- 47' Assisted by Erick Pulgar with the perfectly-timed delivery and Giorgian De Arrascaeta makes no mistake. 1-0!
- 48' A stunning finish from Giorgian De Arrascaeta — that came from absolutely nowhere!
- 53' Lima is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for Fluminense FC tonight.
- 58' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Marcelo made 545 appearances and scored 6 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 63' GOAL! Yony Gonzalez scores on 63. Assisted by Jhon Arias
- 64' Fresh legs for CR Flamengo! Bruno Henrique comes on to replace Luiz Araujo.
- 66' A meaty challenge results in booking for Erick Pulgar on 66.
- 68' It is a substitution in CR Flamengo team. Everton is replaced by Thiago Maia on 68 minute.
- 69' Time for substitution for Fluminense FC. Yony Gonzalez is replaced by Lele.
- 73' The CR Flamengo manager makes a substitution. Pedro departs to be replaced by Gabriel Barbosa.
- 74' The CR Flamengo manager makes a substitution. Pedro departs to be replaced by Gabriel Barbosa.
- 77' The crowd applauds Ganso as he leaves the pitch. Alexsander Gomes steps in for Fluminense FC.
- 81' The referee reaches into his pocket. Out comes the Yellow card for Alexsander Gomes.
- 86' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
- 90' It’s gonna be a Yellow card for John Kennedy.
- What a match! Full time at {STADIUM} — CR Flamengo 1-1 Fluminense FC.
