- 5' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 1 times this season with Fluminense FC winning 100% of all matches.
- 10' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
- 15' Fluminense FC looks like a favorite considering 1 games won in last 1 matches with its main striker John Kennedy scoring 1 goals.

- 29' Thiago is ready to make an impact after coming on for Jandrei at the 29 minute mark.
- 31' Luciano Neves picks up a Yellow card and will need to be extremely careful for the remainder of this match.
- 34' A stunning finish from Luciano Neves — that came from absolutely nowhere!
- 36' Leo makes way for Luizao at the 36 minute mark. A tactical switch from Sao Paulo FC.
- 41' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
- 42' What composure from Patrick! The Brazil international strokes it home. 2-1.
- 43' Magnificent from Patrick! That is 26 goals in 341 appearances — and it could not have come at a better time.
- 46' Felipe Melo has so much to prove this time. He replaces Luccas Claro on 46 minute.
- 51' It’s high time Rogério Ceni made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.

- 58' Nathan has so much to prove this time. He replaces Matheus Martinelli on 58 minute.

- 72' With 0 assists to his name this season, Nathan is clearly more than just a goal scorer for Fluminense FC.
- 77' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds.
