Events
Match Events
- 0' It’s Showtime! The match between Fluminense FC and EC Bahia is underway.
- 5' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
- 10' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
- 15' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
- 20' Julio Cesar has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 0 goals to his name this season.
- 25' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Fluminense FC needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
- 30' It looks surprising Fluminense FC does not make any changes. Nilton has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 35' EC Bahia have won 359 goals from 333 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
- 40' Everson is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for EC Bahia tonight.
- 45' Fluminense FC is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 50' Fluminense FC currently sit in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
- 55' 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.
- 60' EC Bahia started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 60.
- 65' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering EC Bahia that had 333 games and scored 359 goals.
- 70' 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 Morais suffering a number of foals already.
- 75' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
- 80' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
- 85' Fluminense FC are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined EC Bahia backline.
- 90' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Marcelo Oliveira will be considering his options from the bench.
- The points are shared — Fluminense FC 1-1 EC Bahia. Honours even.
