Events

Match Events

  • 0' The wait is over. Fortaleza EC get us underway at Estadio Castelao.
  • 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 Joao Pedro suffering a number of foals already.
  • 10' Fortaleza EC are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined EC Bahia backline.
  • 13' The deadlock is broken! Osvaldo gets on the scoresheet on 13 minutes.
  • 18' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
  • 23' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both Fortaleza EC and EC Bahia are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
  • 28' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. EC Bahia needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 32' Carlinhos is having his name booked by the referee on 32.
  • 33' with the perfectly-timed delivery and Artur makes no mistake. 1-1!
  • 38' Wellington Paulista has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 13 cards already picked up this season.
  • 43' Fortaleza EC currently sit in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
  • 48' Nino Paraiba has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 0 goals to his name this season.
  • 52' The Fortaleza EC bench stirs into life. Edinho is withdrawn and Tinga gets his opportunity.
  • 57' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Fortaleza EC that had 266 games and scored 352 goals.
  • 62' Felipe Araruna is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for EC Bahia so far.
  • 64' Another substitution for Fortaleza EC to replace Romarinho by Kieza on 64 minute.
  • 69' The supporters are chanting for Lucca. He replaces Joao Pedro on 69 minute.
  • 74' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 74 minutes.
  • 78' Tinga adds to his 0 season tally! Fortaleza EC lead 2-1 — and this changes everything.
  • 81' A change in the EC Bahia ranks — Ronaldo exits the field as Fernandao enters on 81.
  • 85' The crowd applauds Artur as he leaves the pitch. Shaylon steps in for EC Bahia.
  • 86' Controversy at the stadium! Gabriel Dias argues furiously but the Yellow card stands.
  • 88' The referee calls foul for Shaylon. He receives a Yellow card.
  • Hope, you loved the show. Another epic battle is over with the score 2-1.
