Events

Match Events

  • 0' We are underway at . The crowd does wile while the referee lows the starting whistle.
  • 5' 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.
  • 10' Cruzeiro EC has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 0 of the last 1 meetings.
  • 15' The home supporters are growing impatient. Fluminense FC must find a spark to ignite this game.
  • 20' With 0 assists to his name this season, Allan is clearly more than just a goal scorer for Cruzeiro EC.
  • 25' The energy levels are beginning to show. Fernando Diniz might look to freshen things up shortly.
  • 30' Sassa has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
  • 35' Rodriguinho has been relatively quiet despite scoring 19 goals in his last 250 appearances.
  • 40' The referee shows Cruzeiro EC player a Yellow card on 40.
  • 44' Nino adds to his 0 season tally! Fluminense FC lead 1-0 — and this changes everything.
  • 46' Against the run of play, Luciano has scored! This game has turned on its head.
  • 49' GOAL! Robinho fires home to make it 2-1!
  • 54' Fluminense FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 54.
  • 58' It is a substitution in Cruzeiro EC team. Luis Orejuela is replaced by Marquinhos Gabriel on 58 minute.
  • 62' That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Allan.
  • 67' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Yony Gonzalez made 386 appearances and scored 10 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 68' Pedro Rocha catches the referee's attention in entirely the wrong way. Yellow card on 68.
  • 70' The supporters are chanting for Joao Pedro. He replaces Leo Artur on 70 minute.
  • 72' A moment of madness from Luciano on 72 minutes earns him a Yellow card. Fluminense FC will be frustrated.
  • 76' Rodriguinho makes way for David at the 76 minute mark. A tactical switch from Cruzeiro EC.
  • 79' The whistle greets Fred as he departs to be replaced by Sassa.
  • 81' What a moment for Joao Pedro! That strike on 81 puts his side firmly in control.
  • 83' Fluminense FC manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Igor Juliao is hanging Daniel on the field on 83 minute.
  • 88' 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 Fred suffering a number of foals already.
  • 90' Joao Pedro catches the referee's attention in entirely the wrong way. Yellow card on 90.
  • Time to leave. No sensation happened. Another win for Fluminense FC players.
