Events

Match Events

  • 0' Packed stands, loud atmosphere — Cruzeiro EC and Chapecoense AF get this one started.
  • 5' The energy levels are beginning to show. Claudinei Oliveira might look to freshen things up shortly.
  • 10' Chapecoense AF is showing some good football. However, Chapecoense AF are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.

  • 20' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 20 minutes.
  • 25' Cruzeiro EC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 25.

  • 55' Douglas has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 20 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 60' Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.

  • 70' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
  • 75' Over 75 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
  • 80' Eduardo has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
  • 85' The 40-year-old Egidio has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
