Events
Match Events
- 0' We are underway at Estadio Heriberto Hulse. The crowd does wile while the referee lows the starting whistle.
- 5' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Criciúma EC that had 38 games and scored 43 goals.
- 10' CA Mineiro is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 15' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 20' 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.
- 25' 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.
- 30' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
- 35' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Gustavo made 38 appearances and scored 0 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 40' Supporters expect more eagerness from Fausto Vera, as he is very good at scoring at Estadio Heriberto Hulse with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
- 45' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
- 50' Otavio is having his name booked by the referee on 50.
- 55' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.

- 73' 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 Eder suffering a number of foals already.
- 78' Time for substitution for CA Mineiro. Renzo Saravia is replaced by Rubens.
