- 0' Here we go! The referee blows the whistle and Fortaleza EC launch into their encounter with Ceará SC.
- 5' 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 Diogo Silva suffering a number of foals already.
- 10' Felippe Cardoso is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for Fortaleza EC so far.
- 13' What a strike from Wellington Paulista! The score is 1-0.
