Events

Match Events

  • 0' KICK OFF: Botafogo FR gets underway.
  • 5' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Marcelo Oliveira will be considering his options from the bench.
  • 10' Both keepers have barely been tested. Fluminense FC and Botafogo FR are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
  • 15' Supporters expect more eagerness from Marcinho, as he is very good at scoring at with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
  • 20' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His Fluminense FC side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
  • 25' Brazil international Dodi has been a key figure this campaign — 0 goals and 0 assists in the Array this season.
  • 30' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
  • 35' Fluminense FC has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 1 of the last 2 meetings.
  • 40' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 40 minutes.
  • 45' Fluminense FC 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.
  • 50' Fluminense FC are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined Botafogo FR backline.
  • 55' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 60' The 38-year-old Kayke has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
  • 65' The Array continues to deliver drama. Both Fluminense FC and Botafogo FR are desperate not to drop points on matchday .
  • 70' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Fluminense FC that had 404 games and scored 443 goals.
  • 75' 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.
  • 80' Luiz Fernando has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
  • 85' Fluminense FC is showing some good football. However, Fluminense FC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 90' Botafogo FR is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • The referee blows the final whistle. Sensational lose for Botafogo FR.
