Match Events
- 0' The game is set. SC Recife kicks off things out of here…
- 5' Fortaleza EC is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 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 Lucas Lima suffering a number of foals already.
- 15' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
- 19' It’s gonna be a card for Eros Mancuso.
- 24' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
- 29' 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.
- 34' Fortaleza EC receives a card for a hard tackle on 34.
- 35' Derik Lacerda was booked on 35.
- 40' Fortaleza EC is showing some good football. However, Fortaleza EC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
- 44' Fortaleza EC is taking the lead after the goal scored by Lucas Sasha on 44.
- 46' Joao Silva is replacing Rafael Thyere for the SC Recife side.
- 51' It looks surprising Fortaleza EC does not make any changes. Breno Lopes has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 56' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Matheusinho made 161 appearances and scored 7 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 58' The supporters are chanting for Hyoran. He replaces Lucas Kal on 58 minute.
- 63' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 68' Fortaleza EC manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Yeison Guzman is hanging Lucas Crispim on the field on 68 minute.
- 72' That looks like a foul for a card for Luan Candido.
- 77' Ramon has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 17 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 79' SC Recife manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Romarinho is hanging Lucas Lima on the field on 79 minute.
- 82' Time for substitution for Fortaleza EC. Yago Pikachu is replaced by Benjamin Kuscevic.
- 83' SC Recife receives a card for a hard tackle on 83.
- 83' Another change for Fortaleza EC made on 83 minute. Deyverson leaves to be changed by Juan Lucero.
- 84' SC Recife manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Ignacio Ramirez is hanging Matheusinho on the field on 84 minute.
- 89' SC Recife 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.
- The final score is 1-0.
