Events

Match Events

0' Welcome to Mineirao that hosts another battle between Cruzeiro EC and CR Flamengo.
3' It’s gonna be a Yellow card for Thiago Maia.
4' Thiago Maia is having his name booked by the referee on 4.
9' Erick Pulgar has been relatively quiet despite scoring 21 goals in his last 482 appearances.
14' Cruzeiro EC are deployed in a today, looking to exploit space against CR Flamengo's shape.
19' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 19 minutes.
24' CR Flamengo 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.
29' It looks like no one’s ball. CR Flamengo is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
34' Ian Luccas, a Brazil , has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
38' Poor challenge from Helibelton Palacios. The referee spots it immediately and shows the Yellow card.
39' A stunning finish from Ayrton Lucas — that came from absolutely nowhere!
44' Pedro adds to his 11 season tally! CR Flamengo lead 0-2 — and this changes everything.
47' The Cruzeiro EC manager makes a substitution. Kaiki Bruno departs to be replaced by Wesley.
52' Marlon is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for Cruzeiro EC tonight.
55' Pablo gets the nod from CR Flamengo. He replaces David Luiz and will look to change the dynamic.
60' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Cruzeiro EC that had 257 games and scored 222 goals.
65' It looks surprising Cruzeiro EC does not make any changes. Thiago Maia has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
68' Cruzeiro EC receives a Yellow card for a hard tackle on 68.
69' Another substitution for Cruzeiro EC to replace Matheus Pereira by Nikao on 69 minute.
70' A meaty challenge results in booking for Marlon on 70.
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 Neris suffering a number of foals already.
78' Agustin Rossi was booked on 78.
79' CR Flamengo ring the changes. Pedro has done his job and it is now time for Gabriel Barbosa to step up.
84' 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.
89' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His Cruzeiro EC side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
What a match! Full time at {STADIUM} — Cruzeiro EC 0-2 CR Flamengo.
