Events
Match Events
- 0' The ball is rolling at Morumbi. Sao Paulo FC are looking to make home advantage count against Cuiabá EC.
- 5' Isidro Pitta has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 0 appearances with only 5 goals this season.
- 10' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His Sao Paulo FC side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
- 15' Sao Paulo FC have won 422 goals from 387 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
- 20' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Sao Paulo FC needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
- 25' 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 James Rodriguez suffering a number of foals already.
- 30' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
- 35' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
- 40' It looks surprising Cuiabá EC does not make any changes. Matheus Alexandre has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 45' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
- 50' Over 50 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
- 55' Lucas Moura is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for Cuiabá EC tonight.
- 60' Talles Costa gets the nod from Sao Paulo FC. He replaces Michel Araujo and will look to change the dynamic.
- 65' Cuiabá EC is showing some good football. However, Cuiabá EC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
- 69' Another substitution for Sao Paulo FC to replace Lucas Moura by Wellington Rato on 69 minute.
- 71' Robert Arboleda picks up a Yellow card and will need to be extremely careful for the remainder of this match.
- 72' The referee reaches into his pocket. Out comes the Yellow card for Robert Arboleda.
- 75' Wellington Silva is replacing Isidro Pitta for the Cuiaba EC side.
- 80' Sao Paulo FC is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 85' Fresh legs for Cuiaba EC! Fernando Sobral comes on to replace Jonathan Cafu.
- 90' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Rikelme made 152 appearances and scored 2 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- Both sets of fans can go home satisfied — a 0-0 draw is a fair result on the day.
