Events

Match Events

  • 0' KICK OFF: EC Juventude gets underway.
  • 3' Fortaleza EC is taking the lead after the goal scored by Juan Lucero on 3.
  • 8' It’s high time Fábio Matias made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 13' Benjamin Kuscevic has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 0 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 18' EC Juventude is showing some good football. However, EC Juventude are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 23' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 23 minutes.
  • 28' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Matheus Rossetto made 373 appearances and scored 4 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 33' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 36' That looks like a foul for a card for Rodrigo Sam.
  • 39' The referee calls foul for Enio. He receives a card.
  • 42' It’s a booking for Fortaleza EC player. Juan Lucero gets a card.
  • 46' The referee calls foul for Tinga. He receives a card.
  • 51' EC Juventude seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.
  • 56' Gilberto is replacing Luiz Mandaca for the EC Juventude side.
  • 61' 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 Edson Pernambuco suffering a number of foals already.
  • 63' Goal! Breno Lopes scores his 32 goal in 386 matches.
