Events
Match Events
- 0' We are underway at Mineirao. The crowd does wile while the referee lows the starting whistle.
- 5' Cruzeiro EC 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.
- 10' It looks like no one’s ball. Cuiaba EC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 15' Andre Luis has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 22 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 20' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Cuiaba EC that had 152 games and scored 155 goals.
- 25' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 30' Cuiaba EC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 30.
- 35' The travelling Cuiaba EC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 40' Jonathan Cafu needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
- 45' 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 Denilson Alves suffering a number of foals already.
- 47' Cruzeiro EC is taking the lead after the goal scored by Matheus Pereira on 45.
- 50' It is a substitution in Cruzeiro EC team. Alvaro Barreal is replaced by Joao Wellington on 50 minute.

- 64' GOAL! Isidro Pitta scores on 64.
- 66' Ramon was booked on 66.
- 67' Goal! Rafael Silva scores his 3 goal in 250 matches.

- 74' It’s high time Petit made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
- 77' The Cuiaba EC manager makes a substitution. Clayson departs to be replaced by Andre Luis.
- 78' Rafael Silva was booked on 78.
- 79' The whistle greets Lucas Romero as he departs to be replaced by Ramiro.
