10' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 10 minutes.

20' Grêmio FBPA is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
25' With 0 assists to his name this season, Diego Tardelli is clearly more than just a goal scorer for Grêmio FBPA.
30' Fabio has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 18 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
33' A meaty challenge results in booking for Egidio on 33.
38' The referee shows Cruzeiro EC player a Yellow card on 38.
42' Robinho is ready to make an impact after coming on for Ariel Cabral at the 42 minute mark.
45' Cruzeiro EC player sees a Yellow card in front of him.
50' Over 50 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.

79' Isaque has so much to prove this time. He replaces Luciano on 79 minute.
