Events
Match Events
- 0' The match kicks off with home fans waiting with anticipation for Fluminense FC to score. At the same time, Criciúma EC does not seem to pull back! Let’s get it on!
- 5' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Criciúma EC that had 38 games and scored 43 goals.
- 10' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
- 15' Criciúma EC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 15.
- 18' The supporters are chanting for Tobias Figueiredo. He replaces Wilker Angel on 18 minute.
- 23' Criciúma EC is showing some good football. However, Criciúma EC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
- 28' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 28 minutes.
- 33' Fabio has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 18 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 38' Renato Augusto is replacing Ganso for the Fluminense FC side.
- 43' Fluminense FC is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 45' The referee shows Criciuma EC player a card on 45.
- 50' It looks like no one’s ball. Fluminense FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 55' 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 Patrick de Paula suffering a number of foals already.
- 58' That looks like a foul for a card for Facundo Bernal.
- 63' The travelling Criciúma EC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 64' The Fluminense FC manager makes a substitution. Elias Kaua departs to be replaced by German Cano.
- 65' Time for substitution for Criciuma EC. Felipe Vizeu is replaced by Pedro Rocha.
- 70' Supporters expect more eagerness from Yannick Bolasie, as he is very good at scoring at Maracana with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
- 75' It looks surprising Criciúma EC does not make any changes. Thiago Santos has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 78' The whistle greets Facundo Bernal as he departs to be replaced by Marquinhos.
- 83' The Criciuma EC manager makes a substitution. Ronald departs to be replaced by Miguel Trauco.
- 88' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
- Hope, you loved the show. Another epic battle is over with the score 0-0.
