Events

  • 5' Both keepers have barely been tested. Sao Paulo FC and Gremio FBPA are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
  • 10' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Sao Paulo FC that had 377 games and scored 411 goals.

  • 13' with the perfectly-timed delivery and Vitor Bueno makes no mistake. 1-0!

  • 20' The deadlock is broken! Vanderson gets on the scoresheet on 20 minutes.
  • 21' Controversy at the stadium! Bruno Alves argues furiously but the Yellow card stands.
  • 22' A moment of madness from Bruno Alves on 22 minutes earns him a Yellow card. Sao Paulo FC will be frustrated.
  • 27' The 29-year-old Igor Vinicius has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.

  • 37' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
  • 42' Jean Pyerre has been relatively quiet despite scoring 10 goals in his last 332 appearances.

  • 51' Sao Paulo FC are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
  • 56' Gremio FBPA looks like a favorite considering 1 games won in last 2 matches with its main striker Cristian Pavon scoring 1 goals.
  • 59' The Sao Paulo FC manager makes a substitution. Antonio Galeano departs to be replaced by Emiliano Rigoni.
  • 60' Emiliano Rigoni is ready to make an impact after coming on for Antonio Galeano at the 60 minute mark.
  • 61' The referee has no hesitation. Igor Gomes is booked for Sao Paulo FC — Yellow card on 61.
  • 66' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.

  • 74' Darlan Mendes has so much to prove this time. He replaces Jean Pyerre on 74 minute.
