Events

Match Events

  • 0' Packed stands, loud atmosphere — EC Vitoria and Ceará SC get this one started.
  • 5' Wescley is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for Ceará SC so far.
  • 10' has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
  • 15' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
  • 20' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
  • 25' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
  • 30' Richardson needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Red cards this season.
  • 35' Both keepers have barely been tested. EC Vitoria and Ceará SC are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
  • 40' Elton has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 0 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 45' Ceará SC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 45.
  • 50' It looks like no one’s ball. Ceará SC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 55' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
  • 60' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Andre Lima made 188 appearances and scored 4 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 65' Ceará SC are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
  • 70' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both EC Vitoria and Ceará SC are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
  • 75' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
  • 80' Ricardinho has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 0 goals to his name this season.
  • 85' EC Vitoria are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
  • 90' The travelling Ceará SC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 2-1 the final result. Ceará SC will be bitterly disappointed.
