Events
Match Events
- 0' Packed stands, loud atmosphere — Sao Paulo FC and SC Recife get this one started.
- 5' Liziero has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
- 10' Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.
- 15' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
- 20' Jair is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for SC Recife so far.
- 25' It looks like no one’s ball. Sao Paulo FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 30' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. SC Recife needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
- 35' The Array continues to deliver drama. Both Sao Paulo FC and SC Recife are desperate not to drop points on matchday .
- 40' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Sao Paulo FC that had 387 games and scored 422 goals.
- 45' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Andre Jardine will be considering his options from the bench.
- 50' SC Recife have won 123 goals from 240 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
- 55' SC Recife 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.
- 60' 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 Mateus Goncalves suffering a number of foals already.
- 65' Sao Paulo FC are deployed in a today, looking to exploit space against SC Recife's shape.
- 70' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
- 75' Diego Souza is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for Sao Paulo FC tonight.
- 80' Bruno Alves, a Brazil , has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
- 85' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 90' SC Recife is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 0-0 the final result. will be bitterly disappointed.
