  • 13' The referee has no hesitation. Alvaro Barreal is booked for Cruzeiro EC — card on 13.
  • 18' Both keepers have barely been tested. Sao Paulo FC and Cruzeiro EC are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
  • 23' Over 23 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
  • 28' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 33' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Alvaro Barreal made 195 appearances and scored 28 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 38' Controversy at the stadium! Marlon argues furiously but the card stands.
  • 43' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
  • 44' The supporters are chanting for Nahuel Ferraresi. He replaces Joao Moreira on 44 minute.
  • 45' A moment of madness from Alan Franco on 45 minutes earns him a card. Sao Paulo FC will be frustrated.
  • 46' Rafael Silva makes way for Kaiki Bruno at the 46 minute mark. A tactical switch from Cruzeiro EC.
  • 48' A goal from the Argentina international Jonathan Calleri! He fires home on 48 to make it 2-0!
  • 53' 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.
  • 54' Joao Pedro is replacing Gabriel Veron for the Cruzeiro EC side.
  • 59' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 63' A moment of madness from Kaiki Bruno on 63 minutes earns him a card. Cruzeiro EC will be frustrated.
  • 68' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 68 minutes.
  • 69' Cruzeiro EC make a change. Alvaro Barreal trudges off to be replaced by Vitor Hugo on 69 minutes.
  • 74' It’s high time Luis Zubeldía made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 75' Time for substitution for Sao Paulo FC. Lucas Moura is replaced by Michel Araujo.
  • 80' That is a card for Sao Paulo FC. Alisson will be fuming at that decision.
  • 81' Robert gets the nod from Cruzeiro EC. He replaces Lucas Romero and will look to change the dynamic.
  • 83' It is a substitution in Sao Paulo FC team. Jonathan Calleri is replaced by Andre Silva on 83 minute.
  • 88' 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 William suffering a number of foals already.
  • The final score is 2-0.
