Events
Match Events
- 0' Welcome to Estadio Heriberto Hulse that hosts another battle between Criciúma EC and EC Bahia.
- 5' Matheusinho has been relatively quiet despite scoring 7 goals in his last 161 appearances.
- 10' Thaciano is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for Criciúma EC tonight.
- 15' The energy levels are beginning to show. Claudio Tencati might look to freshen things up shortly.
- 20' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
- 25' 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 Everaldo suffering a number of foals already.
- 30' Tobias Figueiredo was booked on 30.
- 34' Clinical. Composed. Brilliant. Marcelo Hermes makes it 0-1.
- 39' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
- 44' Caio Alexandre needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 32 Yellow cards this season.
- 46' A stunning finish from Arthur Caike — that came from absolutely nowhere!
- 46' Another substitution for Criciuma EC to replace Jonathan Lemos by Claudinho on 46 minute.
- 51' Criciúma EC are deployed in a 4-4-2 today, looking to exploit space against EC Bahia's 4-1-3-2 shape.
- 56' Magnificent from Everaldo! That is 58 goals in 187 appearances — and it could not have come at a better time.
- 57' Gustavo was booked on 57.
- 62' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
- 63' It’s a booking for Criciuma EC player. Gustavo gets a card.
- 65' Alisson is ready to make an impact after coming on for Matheusinho at the 65 minute mark.
- 70' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
- 72' The deadlock is broken! Caio Alexandre gets on the scoresheet on 72 minutes.
- 74' Oscar Estupinan gets the nod from EC Bahia. He replaces Everton Ribeiro and will look to change the dynamic.
- 76' Fresh legs for Criciuma EC! Walisson Maia comes on to replace Ronald.
- 77' A change in the Criciuma EC ranks — Yannick Bolasie exits the field as Marquinhos Gabriel enters on 77.
- 82' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
- 84' A change in the Criciuma EC ranks — Arthur Caike exits the field as Eder enters on 84.
- 88' The referee reaches into his pocket. Out comes the card for Thaciano.
- 90' Eder has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a card on 90.
- 90' Yago Felipe is replacing Caio Alexandre for the EC Bahia side.
- The final whistle goes. A composed, disciplined performance from to claim maximum points.
