  • 0' And we are off! Fluminense FC vs Botafogo FR — let the football do the talking.
  • 5' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Fluminense FC that had 386 games and scored 415 goals.
  • 10' Fluminense FC are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.

  • 51' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 56' 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.
