- 10' São Paulo FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 10.
- 15' 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 Rodrigo Nestor suffering a number of foals already.

- 35' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 35 minutes.
- 40' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Robert Arboleda made 377 appearances and scored 8 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.

- 74' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
- 75' Luciano Juba gets the nod from SC Recife. He replaces Gustavo and will look to change the dynamic.
- 80' The home supporters are growing impatient. São Paulo FC must find a spark to ignite this game.
- 81' The deadlock is broken! Gabriel Sara gets on the scoresheet on 81 minutes.
- 86' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
