  • 5' Brazil international Fernando Sobral has been a key figure this campaign — 0 goals and 0 assists in the Array this season.
  • 10' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Cleber made 171 appearances and scored 6 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 15' Samuel Xavier is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for SE Palmeiras so far.
  • 20' SE Palmeiras is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 25' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
  • 30' Lucas Esteves needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Red cards this season.
  • 35' SE Palmeiras come into this ranked in Array. They desperately need points to push themselves up the standings.
  • 40' Ceará SC are deployed in a today, looking to exploit space against SE Palmeiras's shape.
  • 45' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
  • 50' SE Palmeiras is showing some good football. However, SE Palmeiras are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.

  • 70' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
  • 75' 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 Felipe Melo suffering a number of foals already.
  • 80' A quiet spell here at Estadio Castelao. SE Palmeiras seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
  • 85' SE Palmeiras 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.
