Events

Match Events

  • 0' The game is set. Cruzeiro EC kicks off things out of here…
  • 5' Ceará SC 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.
  • 10' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Gabriel Barbosa made 298 appearances and scored 131 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 15' 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 Marcos Victor suffering a number of foals already.
  • 20' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
  • 25' Cruzeiro EC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 25.
  • 30' William has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 10 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 35' The referee does not hesitate — a card for Walace on 35 minutes.
  • 40' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 0 times this season with winning -% of all matches.
  • 42' A change in the Cruzeiro EC ranks — Keny Arroyo exits the field as Luis Sinisterra enters on 42.
  • 45' It’s a booking for Cruzeiro EC player. Lucas Silva gets a card.
  • 50' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Cruzeiro EC that had 264 games and scored 240 goals.
  • 55' Willian Machado is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for Cruzeiro EC tonight.
  • 56' Vinicius Zanocelo does the damage! The net is bulging and Ceara SC surge ahead!
  • 61' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 65' A tactical swap from Ceara SC — Paulo Baya on, Fernandinho off on 65 minutes.
  • 69' Cruzeiro EC receives a card for a hard tackle on 69.
  • 71' Willian Machado adds to his 1 season tally! Ceara SC lead 0-2 — and this changes everything.
  • 73' The referee does not hesitate — a card for Gabriel Barbosa on 73 minutes.
  • 76' Ceara SC ring the changes. Lucas Mugni has done his job and it is now time for Vina to step up.
  • 80' A moment of madness from Willian Machado on 80 minutes earns him a card. Ceara SC will be frustrated.
  • 80' Yannick Bolasie gets the nod from Cruzeiro EC. He replaces Gabriel Barbosa and will look to change the dynamic.
  • 85' Fresh legs for Ceara SC! Aylon comes on to replace Pedro Raul.
  • 89' Cruzeiro EC manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Matheus Henrique is hanging Walace on the field on 89 minute.
  • 1-1 the final result. will be bitterly disappointed.
