- 40' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Sao Paulo FC needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
- 45' 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 Diego Souza suffering a number of foals already.

- 80' Sao Paulo FC are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
- 85' Lucas Paqueta has been relatively quiet despite scoring 74 goals in his last 395 appearances.
- 90' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Romulo made 395 appearances and scored 2 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
