Events

Match Events

  • 0' What a night it is going to be! Sao Paulo FC welcome EC Bahia for this crunch clash at Morumbi.
  • 5' Willian Jose is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for EC Bahia tonight.
  • 10' Sao Paulo FC are deployed in a 4-2-3-1 today, looking to exploit space against EC Bahia's 4-2-3-1 shape.
  • 15' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.

  • 22' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.

  • 37' Erick has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 3 goals to his name this season.

  • 50' Over 50 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
  • 55' 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 Wendell suffering a number of foals already.
  • 60' named a 4-2-3-1 earlier, and opted for a 4-2-3-1 in response. A fascinating tactical duel is developing.
  • 62' What a strike from Luciano Juba! The score is 1-1.
