Events

Match Events

  • 0' CR Flamengo have kicked off against Sao Paulo FC. Both sides are eager to make an early statement.
  • 5' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 10' 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 Robert Arboleda suffering a number of foals already.
  • 15' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 20' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
  • 25' Over 25 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
  • 30' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
  • 32' The referee calls foul for Hernanes. He receives a Yellow card.
  • 35' That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Everton Ribeiro.
  • 40' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Sao Paulo FC that had 371 games and scored 405 goals.
  • 43' Reinaldo has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a Yellow card on 43.
  • 46' The whistle greets Rodinei as he departs to be replaced by Rafinha.
  • 51' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 56' CR Flamengo currently sit in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
  • 61' The 41-year-old Hernanes has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
  • 66' CR Flamengo have won 595 goals from 382 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
  • 67' Sao Paulo FC manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Vitor is hanging Tche Tche on the field on 67 minute.
  • 72' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
  • 75' It’s a booking for CR Flamengo player. Gabriel Barbosa gets a Yellow card.
  • 77' Filipe Luis is ready to make an impact after coming on for Rene at the 77 minute mark.
  • 82' Sao Paulo FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 82.
  • 85' That is a Yellow card for CR Flamengo. Rafinha will be fuming at that decision.
  • 85' The whistle greets Antony as he departs to be replaced by Liziero.
  • 90' The referee calls foul for Pablo Felipe. He receives a Yellow card.
  • 90' Another change for Sao Paulo FC made on 90 minute. Hernanes leaves to be changed by Hudson.
  • Hope, you loved the show. Another epic battle is over with the score 0-0.
