Events
Match Events
- 0' Packed stands, loud atmosphere — SC Internacional and Botafogo FR get this one started.
- 5' Both keepers have barely been tested. SC Internacional and Botafogo FR are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
- 10' SC Internacional are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined Botafogo FR backline.
- 15' Botafogo FR is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 19' A stunning finish from Enner Valencia — that came from absolutely nowhere!
- 24' Janderson Costa, a Brazil , has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
- 29' Matheus Nascimento is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for SC Internacional tonight.
- 32' SC Internacional manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Pedro Henrique is hanging Enner Valencia on the field on 32 minute.
- 37' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Botafogo FR needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
- 42' Joao Pedro Galvao has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
- 45' Danilo Barbosa is having his name booked by the referee on 45.
- 47' GOAL! Janderson Costa scores on 47.
- 50' SC Internacional is taking the lead after the goal scored by Alan Patrick on 50.
- 53' The Brazil Pedro Henrique breaks the deadlock on 53 minutes. 3-1!
- 54' It’s gonna be a Yellow card for Pedro Henrique.
- 59' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
- 64' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 65' The Botafogo FR bench stirs into life. Carlos Alberto is withdrawn and Junior Santos gets his opportunity.

- 71' Botafogo FR has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 0 of the last 1 meetings.

- 82' The whistle greets Mauricio as he departs to be replaced by Gabriel.
- 83' The supporters are chanting for Luiz Adriano. He replaces Gabriel Mercado on 83 minute.
- 88' 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 Carlos Alberto suffering a number of foals already.
- 90' A moment of madness from Matheus Nascimento on 90 minutes earns him a Yellow card. Botafogo FR will be frustrated.
- Time to leave. No sensation happened. Another win for SC Internacional players.
