Events

Match Events

  • 0' Three points are at stake. Ceará SC host Fortaleza EC — let the battle begin!
  • 5' It looks like no one’s ball. Fortaleza EC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 10' Romarinho, a Brazil , has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
  • 15' A goal from the Brazil international Thiago Galhardo! He fires home on 15 to make it 0-1!
  • 18' Felippe Cardoso makes no mistake. The score reads 0-2 and Ceara SC are in front.
  • 23' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
  • 28' 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.
  • 30' The referee calls foul for Valdo. He receives a Yellow card.
  • 35' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Vinicius Moreira made 238 appearances and scored 7 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 40' 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.
  • 45' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both Ceará SC and Fortaleza EC are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
  • 47' Juninho adds to his 0 season tally! Fortaleza EC lead 0-3 — and this changes everything.
  • 52' The energy levels are beginning to show. Enderson Moreira might look to freshen things up shortly.
  • 57' 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 Osvaldo suffering a number of foals already.
  • 62' A tactical swap from Fortaleza EC — Mariano Vazquez on, Osvaldo off on 62 minutes.
  • 63' A meaty challenge results in booking for Samuel Xavier on 63.
  • 67' It is a substitution in Ceara SC team. Leandro Carvalho is replaced by Wescley on 67 minute.
  • 69' That is a Yellow card for Fortaleza EC. Carlinhos will be fuming at that decision.
  • 74' Fortaleza EC ring the changes. Romarinho has done his job and it is now time for Edinho to step up.
  • 77' The Ceara SC bench stirs into life. Vinicius Moreira is withdrawn and Fernando Sobral gets his opportunity.
  • 81' Andre Luis makes way for Kieza at the 81 minute mark. A tactical switch from Fortaleza EC.
  • 84' Ceara SC ring the changes. Thiago Galhardo has done his job and it is now time for Pedro Ken to step up.
  • 89' The referee does not hesitate — a Yellow card for Wescley on 89 minutes.
