Match Events
- 0' It’s Showtime! The match between CR Vasco da Gama and Criciúma EC is underway.
- 5' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 5 minutes.
- 10' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
- 15' Criciúma EC is showing some good football. However, Criciúma EC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
- 20' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Criciúma EC needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
- 25' 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 David suffering a number of foals already.
- 30' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
- 32' What a strike from Fellipe Mateus! The score is 0-1.
- 37' It looks surprising Criciúma EC does not make any changes. Higor Meritao has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 42' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 45' A meaty challenge results in booking for Lucas Piton on 45.
- 46' The whistle greets Dimitri Payet as he departs to be replaced by Pablo Galdames.
- 47' Goal! Fellipe Mateus scores his 3 goal in 38 matches.
- 52' Pablo Vegetti has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 18 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 55' What a strike from Yannick Bolasie! The score is 0-3.
- 57' Adson has so much to prove this time. He replaces Juan Sforza on 57 minute.
- 61' It is a substitution in Criciuma EC team. Yannick Bolasie is replaced by Eder on 61 minute.
- 66' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Criciúma EC that had 38 games and scored 43 goals.
- 67' It is a substitution in Criciuma EC team. Wilker Angel is replaced by Walisson Maia on 67 minute.
- 69' What a strike from Higor Meritao! The score is 0-4.
- 71' Time for substitution for CR Vasco da Gama. Hugo Moura is replaced by Tucurui.
- 75' The supporters are chanting for Newton. He replaces Higor Meritao on 75 minute.
- 76' Criciuma EC manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Yerson Candelo is hanging Claudinho on the field on 76 minute.
- 81' Criciúma EC 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.
- 86' Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.
- Another three points for Criciúma EC.
