Events

Match Events

  • 0' What a night it is going to be! Sao Paulo FC welcome Fluminense FC for this crunch clash at .
  • 5' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 10' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Marcelo Oliveira will be considering his options from the bench.
  • 15' Luciano has been relatively quiet despite scoring 66 goals in his last 400 appearances.
  • 20' Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.
  • 25' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 25 minutes.
  • 30' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Ayrton Lucas made 400 appearances and scored 18 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 35' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
  • 40' Fluminense FC fans have not had much to celebrate tonight. Their side is struggling to get forward.
  • 45' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both Sao Paulo FC and Fluminense FC are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
  • 50' 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 Dodi suffering a number of foals already.
  • 55' Both keepers have barely been tested. Sao Paulo FC and Fluminense FC are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
  • 60' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
  • 65' Fluminense FC is showing some good football. However, Fluminense FC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 70' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 75' Fluminense FC seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.
  • 80' It looks surprising Sao Paulo FC does not make any changes. Edimar has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 85' Fluminense FC looks like a favorite considering 1 games won in last 1 matches with its main striker John Kennedy scoring 1 goals.
  • 90' Fluminense FC come into this ranked in Array. They desperately need points to push themselves up the standings.
  • 1-1 the final result. will be bitterly disappointed.
