Events

Match Events

  • 0' The game is set. Santos FC kicks off things out of here…
  • 4' Goal! Jonathan Cafu scores his 6 goal in 246 matches.
  • 9' 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.
  • 14' Cuiaba EC are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
  • 19' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
  • 24' Both keepers have barely been tested. Cuiaba EC and Santos FC are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
  • 28' Camilo picks up a Yellow card and will need to be extremely careful for the remainder of this match.
  • 33' Lucas Braga is ready to make an impact after coming on for Jean Mota at the 33 minute mark.
  • 38' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both Cuiaba EC and Santos FC are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
  • 43' Santos FC have won 356 goals from 286 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
  • 46' A tactical swap from Santos FC — Moraes on, Felipe Jonatan off on 46 minutes.
  • 51' Para has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 24 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 56' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
  • 57' Cuiaba EC manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Felipe Marques is hanging Yesus Cabrera on the field on 57 minute.
  • 58' The supporters are chanting for Danilo Boza. He replaces Robson Reis on 58 minute.
  • 61' Another substitution for Cuiaba EC to replace Jonathan Cafu by Guilherme Pato on 61 minute.
  • 64' What composure from Gabriel Pirani! The Brazil international strokes it home. 1-1.
  • 69' 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 Jean Mota suffering a number of foals already.
  • 73' It is a substitution in Cuiaba EC team. Auremir is replaced by Yuri Oliveira Lima on 73 minute.
  • 75' Marcos Guilherme is having his name booked by the referee on 75.

  • 79' It’s gonna be a Yellow card for Yuri Oliveira Lima.
  • 82' A tactical swap from Santos FC — Marcos Leonardo Almeida on, Leo Baptistao off on 82 minutes.
  • 87' Camilo has been relatively quiet despite scoring 2 goals in his last 152 appearances.
  • 88' Sensational shot from Elton. Cuiaba EC is back in the lead.
  • 89' That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Elton.
  • With this win, Cuiaba EC is likely to improve its situation in the overall team standings.
