- 5' has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 0 of the last 0 meetings.
- 10' The travelling Ceara SC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 15' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
- 20' 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 Vina suffering a number of foals already.
- 22' It’s a booking for Fluminense FC player. Luciano Acosta gets a card.
- 26' A stunning finish from Rene — that came from absolutely nowhere!
- 31' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
- 36' Fabio has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 32 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 41' Ceara SC have won 233 goals from 238 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
- 46' Fluminense FC ring the changes. Hercules has done his job and it is now time for Facundo Bernal to step up.

- 52' The referee does not hesitate — a card for Facundo Bernal on 52 minutes.
- 57' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Ceara SC that had 238 games and scored 233 goals.
- 62' The Ceara SC bench stirs into life. Vina is withdrawn and Lucas Mugni gets his opportunity.
- 65' The supporters are chanting for Keno. He replaces Kevin Serna on 65 minute.
- 70' Fabiano Silva has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
- 75' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
- 76' The referee reaches into his pocket. Out comes the card for Fabio.
- 76' Another change for Fluminense FC made on 76 minute. Agustin Canobbio leaves to be changed by Riquelme Felipe.
- 77' A moment of madness from Richardson on 77 minutes earns him a card. Ceara SC will be frustrated.

- 80' It’s a booking for Fluminense FC player. Riquelme Felipe gets a card.
- 84' A moment of madness from Rene on 84 minutes earns him a card. Fluminense FC will be frustrated.
- 89' Fluminense FC are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined Ceara SC backline.
- 90' Poor challenge from Pedro Henrique. The referee spots it immediately and shows the card.
