Events

Match Events

0' The match kicks off with home fans waiting with anticipation for EC Juventude to score. At the same time, Botafogo FR does not seem to pull back! Let’s get it on!
5' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
6' That looks like a foul for a card for Newton.
11' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Botafogo FR that had 341 games and scored 352 goals.
16' It looks like no one’s ball. EC Juventude is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
21' EC Juventude is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
26' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 0 times this season with winning -% of all matches.
30' What a strike from Enmerson Batalla! The score is 1-0.
35' Botafogo FR is showing some good football. However, Botafogo FR are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
39' Goal! Alex Telles scores his 27 goal in 491 matches.
44' It’s high time made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
46' Time for substitution for EC Juventude. Alan Ruschel is replaced by Marcelo Hermes.

52' Alexander Barboza was booked on 52.
56' Another change for Botafogo FR made on 56 minute. Jeffinho leaves to be changed by Matheus Martins.
61' 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 Arthur Cabral suffering a number of foals already.
66' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
67' Another change for Botafogo FR made on 67 minute. Joaquin Correa leaves to be changed by Chris Ramos.
