Events
Match Events
- 0' That's the starting whistle at . Ninety minutes of football awaits between CR Flamengo and Santos FC.
- 5' Santos FC is showing some good football. However, Santos FC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
- 10' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
- 15' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
- 20' Both keepers have barely been tested. CR Flamengo and Santos FC are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
- 25' The travelling Santos FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 30' Diego Pituca has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
- 35' 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 Victor Ferraz suffering a number of foals already.
- 40' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Renato made 284 appearances and scored 2 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 45' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Santos FC that had 284 games and scored 352 goals.
- 50' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
- 55' Santos FC are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
- 60' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
- 65' CR Flamengo have won 595 goals from 382 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
- 70' Santos FC are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
- 75' The home supporters are growing impatient. CR Flamengo must find a spark to ignite this game.
- 80' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 80 minutes.
- 85' The energy levels are beginning to show. Cuca might look to freshen things up shortly.
- 90' Rodinei has been relatively quiet despite scoring 3 goals in his last 382 appearances.
- That’s it! Another goalless match for CR Flamengo and Santos FC (для сухой ничьи).
