Events

Match Events

  • 0' In just a few seconds Maracana will turn into a battlefield for CR Flamengo and Santos FC.
  • 5' Jorginho needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 44 Yellow cards this season.
  • 10' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Gabriel Barbosa made 284 appearances and scored 123 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 15' Supporters expect more eagerness from Guillermo Varela, as he is very good at scoring at Maracana with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
  • 20' It looks like no one’s ball. CR Flamengo is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 25' 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.
  • 30' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Santos FC needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 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 Agustin Rossi suffering a number of foals already.
  • 40' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 45' CR Flamengo seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.
  • 48' Lautaro Diaz puts Santos FC on the lead.
  • 53' The referee calls foul for Gabriel Bontempo. He receives a card.
  • 58' The travelling Santos FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 63' It’s high time Cuca made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 64' Goal! Pedro scores his 103 goal in 386 matches.
  • 65' Time for substitution for CR Flamengo. Evertton is replaced by Lucas Paqueta.
  • 67' Alvaro Barreal is having his name booked by the referee on 67.
  • 71' Goal! Jorginho scores his 37 goal in 409 matches.
  • 72' Santos FC manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Moises is hanging Thaciano on the field on 72 minute.
  • 77' It looks surprising Santos FC does not make any changes. Ze Rafael has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 81' Gonzalo Plata has so much to prove this time. He replaces Jorge Carrascal on 81 minute.
  • 82' CR Flamengo manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Luiz Araujo is hanging Pedro on the field on 82 minute.
  • 86' Nicolas de la Cruz has so much to prove this time. He replaces Giorgian De Arrascaeta on 86 minute.
  • 89' GOAL! Lucas Paqueta scores on 89. Assisted by Gonzalo Plata
  • 90' The whistle greets Gabriel Bontempo as he departs to be replaced by Ze Rafael.
  • Time to leave. No sensation happened. Another win for CR Flamengo players.
