Events
Match Events
- 0' The match kicks off with home fans waiting with anticipation for Criciuma EC to score. At the same time, EC Bahia does not seem to pull back! Let’s get it on!
- 5' A quiet spell here at Estadio Heriberto Hulse. Criciuma EC seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
- 10' Criciuma EC are deployed in a 4-4-2 today, looking to exploit space against EC Bahia's 4-1-3-2 shape.
- 15' Supporters expect more eagerness from Caio Alexandre, as he is very good at scoring at Estadio Heriberto Hulse with 1 goals in the last 1 games.
- 20' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 25' Criciuma EC is showing some good football. However, Criciuma EC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
- 30' Tobias Figueiredo picks up a card and will need to be extremely careful for the remainder of this match.
- 34' Marcelo Hermes puts Criciuma EC on the lead.

- 57' The referee does not hesitate — a card for Gustavo on 57 minutes.
