- 9' Gonzalo Carneiro Mendez makes way for Pablo Felipe at the 9 minute mark. A tactical switch from Sao Paulo FC.
- 14' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. São Paulo FC needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
- 19' SE Palmeiras 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.
- 24' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
- 29' SE Palmeiras started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 29.

- 39' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
