Events

Match Events

  • 14' It’s high time Cuca made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 19' Over 19 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
  • 24' Gremio FBPA is showing some good football. However, Gremio FBPA are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 29' A meaty challenge results in booking for Cristian Pavon on 29.
  • 32' What a moment for Gabriel Barbosa! That strike on 32 puts his side firmly in control.
  • 37' Santos FC come into this ranked 16 in Array. They desperately need points to push themselves up the standings.

  • 55' Gabriel Barbosa has been a constant threat and now delivers with a goal on 55 minutes.
  • 59' A stunning finish from Carlos Vinicius — that came from absolutely nowhere!
  • 63' Magnificent from Tete! That is 14 goals in 203 appearances — and it could not have come at a better time.
  • 68' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
  • 73' Adonis Frias has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 22 appearances with only 1 goals this season.
  • 78' Gremio FBPA currently sit 15 in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
  • 83' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 84' Gustavo Henrique picks up a card and will need to be extremely careful for the remainder of this match.
  • 89' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Rony made 379 appearances and scored 33 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 3-2 the final result. Santos FC will be bitterly disappointed.
