Events
Match Events

- 5' Ferreira needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 15 Yellow cards this season.
- 10' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?

- 29' Time for substitution for Gremio FBPA. Alysson is replaced by Cristian Pavon.
- 34' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds.
