Events

Match Events

  • 0' That's the starting whistle at Morumbi. Ninety minutes of football awaits between São Paulo FC and Botafogo FR.
  • 4' Luciano has been a constant threat and now delivers with a goal on 4 minutes.
  • 9' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
  • 14' Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.
  • 19' Rafael Monteiro, a Brazil goalkeeper, has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
  • 24' Gabriel Pereira is a natural defender and has been asked to do a very specific job for São Paulo FC tonight.
  • 27' That is a card for Sao Paulo FC. Luciano will be fuming at that decision.
  • 30' The Sao Paulo FC manager makes a substitution. Luciano departs to be replaced by Pedrinho.
  • 35' Kauan has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 37 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 40' São Paulo FC have won 422 goals from 386 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
  • 44' Luis Osorio gets the nod from Sao Paulo FC. He replaces Jose Sabino and will look to change the dynamic.
  • 45' It is a substitution in Botafogo FR team. Lucas Villalba is replaced by Kadir Barria on 45 minute.
  • 50' It looks like no one’s ball. São Paulo FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 55' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 60' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both São Paulo FC and Botafogo FR are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
  • 61' Alvaro Montoro catches the referee's attention in entirely the wrong way. card on 61.
  • 65' Edenilson gets the nod from Botafogo FR. He replaces Alvaro Montoro and will look to change the dynamic.
  • 70' Lucas Ramon has been relatively quiet despite scoring 3 goals in his last 146 appearances.
  • 75' 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 Neto suffering a number of foals already.
  • 80' The referee does not hesitate — a card for Wendell on 80 minutes.
  • 84' Joaquin Correa picks up a card and will need to be extremely careful for the remainder of this match.
  • 85' Controversy at the stadium! Joaquin Correa argues furiously but the card stands.
  • 86' That looks like a foul for a card for Rafael Monteiro.
  • 89' A moment of madness from Gonzalo Tapia on 89 minutes earns him a card. Sao Paulo FC will be frustrated.
  • 90' A stunning finish from Jordan Barrera — that came from absolutely nowhere!
  • 90' Chris Ramos is having his name booked by the referee on 90.
  • Both sets of fans can go home satisfied — a 1-1 draw is a fair result on the day.
