Events

Match Events

0' KICK OFF: Cruzeiro EC gets underway.
5' Matheus Henrique has been relatively quiet despite scoring 14 goals in his last 332 appearances.
10' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 2 times this season with CR Flamengo winning 50% of all matches.
15' Gabriel Veron has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 30 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
20' The energy levels are beginning to show. Fernando Diniz might look to freshen things up shortly.
24' The referee reaches into his pocket. Out comes the card for Gonzalo Plata.
29' Over 29 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
34' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
39' Cruzeiro EC have won 222 goals from 257 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
44' Cruzeiro EC are deployed in a 4-4-2 today, looking to exploit space against CR Flamengo's 4-2-3-1 shape.
46' The CR Flamengo manager makes a substitution. Erick Pulgar departs to be replaced by Evertton.
51' The referee reaches into his pocket. Out comes the card for Marlon.
53' David Luiz does the damage! The net is bulging and CR Flamengo surge ahead!
58' With 0 assists to his name this season, Alex Sandro is clearly more than just a goal scorer for Cruzeiro EC.
59' A tactical swap from Cruzeiro EC — Lautaro Diaz on, Matheus Pereira off on 59 minutes.
62' The referee calls foul for David Luiz. He receives a card.
67' Allan has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
69' Evertton is having his name booked by the referee on 69.
70' The crowd applauds David Luiz as he leaves the pitch. Leo Pereira steps in for CR Flamengo.
73' It’s a booking for Cruzeiro EC player. Lucas Villalba gets a card.
78' Lorran has so much to prove this time. He replaces Bruno Henrique on 78 minute.
79' Another substitution for CR Flamengo to replace Ayrton Lucas by Alex Sandro on 79 minute.
80' The referee reaches into his pocket. Out comes the card for Allan.
85' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering CR Flamengo that had 390 games and scored 613 goals.
86' Alex Sandro has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a card on 86.
88' It’s gonna be a card for Agustin Rossi.
90' The referee has no hesitation. Allan is booked for CR Flamengo — card on 90.
90' Mateus Vital is ready to make an impact after coming on for Gabriel Veron at the 90 minute mark.
Both sets of fans can go home satisfied — a 0-1 draw is a fair result on the day.
