Events

Match Events

  • 0' Temperatures are rising at Maracana as CR Flamengo face off against Santos FC in what promises to be a fascinating contest.
  • 5' 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 Moises suffering a number of foals already.
  • 10' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Leo Pereira made 383 appearances and scored 16 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 15' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 20' Jorginho is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for Santos FC so far.

  • 35' CR Flamengo are deployed in a 4-2-3-1 today, looking to exploit space against Santos FC's 4-1-4-1 shape.

  • 53' Controversy at the stadium! Gabriel Bontempo argues furiously but the card stands.
  • 58' CR Flamengo is showing some good football. However, CR Flamengo are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
