- 5' RB Bragantino are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
- 10' 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 Rodrigo Huendra suffering a number of foals already.

- 20' Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.

- 33' Fluminense FC manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Juan Freytes is hanging Julian Millan on the field on 33 minute.
- 38' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering RB Bragantino that had 258 games and scored 343 goals.
- 43' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. RB Bragantino needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
