Events
Match Events
- 0' The referee blows the starting whistle. The fans are roaring. The teams are ready for the match. Cruzeiro EC is hosting CA Paranaense for another epic battle.
- 5' Caca has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 1 goals to his name this season.
- 10' 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 Marcio Azevedo suffering a number of foals already.
- 15' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
- 20' Both keepers have barely been tested. Cruzeiro EC and CA Paranaense are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
- 25' CA Paranaense looks like a favorite considering 1 games won in last 1 matches with its main striker scoring 0 goals.
- 30' Magnificent from Jonathan! That is 3 goals in 376 appearances — and it could not have come at a better time.
- 35' Fred has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a Yellow card on 35.
- 40' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
- 45' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering CA Paranaense that had 376 games and scored 375 goals.
- 50' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 55' CA Paranaense 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.
- 60' A tactical swap from Cruzeiro EC — Jadson on, Ariel Cabral off on 60 minutes.
- 65' Marco Ruben needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
- 66' The whistle greets Marco Ruben as he departs to be replaced by Marcelo.
- 67' Sassa has so much to prove this time. He replaces David on 67 minute.
- 70' Cruzeiro EC make a change. Mauricio trudges off to be replaced by Welinton on 70 minutes.
