Match Events
- 0' It’s Showtime! The match between Sao Paulo FC and EC Bahia is underway.
- 5' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 1 times this season with EC Bahia winning 0% of all matches.
- 10' Regis Souza needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Red cards this season.
- 15' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
- 20' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
- 25' EC Bahia fans have not had much to celebrate tonight. Their side is struggling to get forward.
- 30' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 35' The energy levels are beginning to show. Enderson Moreira might look to freshen things up shortly.
- 40' Brazil international Lucas Fonseca has been a key figure this campaign — 0 goals and 0 assists in the Array this season.
- 45' 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 Elton suffering a number of foals already.
- 50' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Diego Aguirre will be considering his options from the bench.
- 55' Anderson Martins, a Brazil , has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
- 60' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering EC Bahia that had 333 games and scored 359 goals.
- 65' Over 65 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
- 70' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
- 75' Elber has been relatively quiet despite scoring 40 goals in his last 333 appearances.
- 80' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
- 85' Bruno Alves has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
- 90' Sao Paulo FC have won 411 goals from 377 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
- That’s it! Another goalless match for Sao Paulo FC and EC Bahia (для сухой ничьи).
