Events
Match Events
- 0' KICK OFF: CR Flamengo gets underway.
- 5' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 5 minutes.
- 7' What a strike from Pedro! The score is 0-1.
- 7' Ganso is replacing Luciano Acosta for the Fluminense FC side.
- 12' CR Flamengo looks like a favorite considering 1 games won in last 1 matches with its main striker Pedro scoring 2 goals.
- 17' Leo Ortiz has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 0 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 22' Fluminense FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 22.
- 27' 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.
- 32' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
- 37' Supporters expect more eagerness from Rene, as he is very good at scoring at Maracana with 1 goals in the last 1 games.
- 38' Fluminense FC receives a card for a hard tackle on 38.
- 43' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering CR Flamengo that had 382 games and scored 595 goals.
- 48' 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 Leo Pereira suffering a number of foals already.
- 51' What a strike from Pedro! The score is 0-2.
- 56' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 1 times this season with CR Flamengo winning 100% of all matches.
- 61' Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.
- 65' It is a substitution in Fluminense FC team. John Kennedy is replaced by Rodrigo Castillo on 65 minute.
- 67' The supporters are chanting for Bruno Henrique. He replaces Samuel Lino on 67 minute.
- 72' Danilo Luiz da Silva needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 2 Red cards this season.
- 73' It is a substitution in CR Flamengo team. Gonzalo Plata is replaced by Jorge Carrascal on 73 minute.
- 76' Goal! Jefferson Savarino scores his 69 goal in 280 matches.
- 81' Time for substitution for CR Flamengo. Leo Ortiz is replaced by Luiz Araujo.
- 86' Guga is replacing Samuel Xavier for the Fluminense FC side.
- 89' It’s a booking for Fluminense FC player. Rodrigo Castillo gets a card.
- 90' It’s a booking for CR Flamengo player. Luiz Araujo gets a card.
- The referee blows the final whistle. Sensational lose for Fluminense FC.
