- 15' Jose Sabino has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 14 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 20' It looks surprising Sao Paulo FC does not make any changes. Johan Rojas has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 25' Sao Paulo FC 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.
- 30' The travelling Sao Paulo FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 35' 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.

- 46' The CR Vasco da Gama manager makes a substitution. Tche Tche departs to be replaced by Adson.
- 51' CR Vasco da Gama is showing some good football. However, CR Vasco da Gama are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
