Events
Match Events
- 0' Packed stands, loud atmosphere — Fluminense FC and Grêmio FBPA get this one started.
- 5' It’s high time Renato Gaucho made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
- 10' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 10 minutes.
- 15' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both Fluminense FC and Grêmio FBPA are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
- 20' Grêmio FBPA is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 25' The energy levels are beginning to show. Marcelo Oliveira might look to freshen things up shortly.
- 30' 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.
- 35' Fluminense FC have won 415 goals from 386 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
- 40' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
- 45' The 34-year-old Leo Morais has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
- 50' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
- 55' Paulo Victor is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for Grêmio FBPA tonight.
- 60' 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 Jean Pyerre suffering a number of foals already.
- 65' Fluminense FC currently sit in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
- 70' Julio Cesar has been relatively quiet despite scoring 0 goals in his last 386 appearances.
- 75' Fluminense FC are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined Grêmio FBPA backline.
- 80' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Fluminense FC that had 386 games and scored 415 goals.
- 85' 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.
- 90' Both keepers have barely been tested. Fluminense FC and Grêmio FBPA are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
- Time to leave. No sensation happened. Another win for Grêmio FBPA players.
