Events

Match Events

  • 0' KICK OFF: Fortaleza EC gets underway.
  • 5' Fortaleza EC have won 352 goals from 266 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
  • 10' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both Fortaleza EC and São Paulo FC are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
  • 15' A quiet spell here at . Fortaleza EC seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
  • 20' Hudson has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 0 goals to his name this season.
  • 25' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
  • 28' That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Tche Tche.
  • 33' Tiago Volpi is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for Fortaleza EC tonight.
  • 37' A moment of madness from Bruno Alves on 37 minutes earns him a Yellow card. Sao Paulo FC will be frustrated.
  • 42' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Rogério Ceni will be considering his options from the bench.
  • 46' Another substitution for Sao Paulo FC to replace Igor Vinicius by Hernanes on 46 minute.
  • 51' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
  • 56' 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 Felipe suffering a number of foals already.
  • 59' The referee calls foul for Felipe. He receives a Yellow card.
  • 62' Fresh legs for Sao Paulo FC! Vitor comes on to replace Liziero.
  • 67' Both keepers have barely been tested. Fortaleza EC and São Paulo FC are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
  • 68' The whistle greets Kieza as he departs to be replaced by Wellington Paulista.
  • 71' The crowd applauds Romarinho as he leaves the pitch. Junior Santos steps in for Fortaleza EC.
  • 76' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His Fortaleza EC side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
  • 77' Clinical. Composed. Brilliant. Hernanes makes it 0-1.
  • 79' Marcinho catches the referee's attention in entirely the wrong way. Yellow card on 79.
  • 83' The Fortaleza EC bench stirs into life. Marcinho is withdrawn and Dodo gets his opportunity.
  • 85' Igor Gomes gets the nod from Sao Paulo FC. He replaces Everton and will look to change the dynamic.
  • 90' It looks surprising São Paulo FC does not make any changes. Juninho has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • Time to leave. No sensation happened. Another win for São Paulo FC players.
