Events
Match Events
- 0' The match kicks off with home fans waiting with anticipation for CR Vasco da Gama to score. At the same time, SE Palmeiras does not seem to pull back! Let’s get it on!
- 5' CR Vasco da Gama are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
- 10' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering CR Vasco da Gama that had 287 games and scored 287 goals.
- 15' The energy levels are beginning to show. Alberto Valentim might look to freshen things up shortly.
- 20' The Array continues to deliver drama. Both CR Vasco da Gama and SE Palmeiras are desperate not to drop points on matchday .
- 25' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
- 30' SE Palmeiras are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
- 35' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 35 minutes.
- 40' CR Vasco da Gama currently sit in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
- 45' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
- 50' 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 Werley suffering a number of foals already.
- 55' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both CR Vasco da Gama and SE Palmeiras are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
- 60' CR Vasco da Gama looks like a favorite considering 1 games won in last 1 matches with its main striker scoring 0 goals.
- 65' Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.
- 70' Deyverson has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
- 75' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Alberto Valentim will be considering his options from the bench.
- 80' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
- 85' CR Vasco da Gama are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined SE Palmeiras backline.
- 90' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
- Game over. The scoreline of 0-1 tells the full story of an entertaining encounter.
