Events

Match Events

  • 0' Three points are at stake. SC Internacional host Cruzeiro EC — let the battle begin!
  • 5' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 1 times this season with Cruzeiro EC winning 100% of all matches.
  • 10' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Cruzeiro EC that had 266 games and scored 244 goals.
  • 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 Stenio Toledo suffering a number of foals already.
  • 18' The SC Internacional manager makes a substitution. Alan Patrick departs to be replaced by Jean Dias.
  • 23' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
  • 25' It’s a booking for Cruzeiro EC player. Lucas Oliveira gets a Yellow card.
  • 30' Cruzeiro EC fans have not had much to celebrate tonight. Their side is struggling to get forward.
  • 35' The 39-year-old Gabriel Mercado has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.

  • 52' Controversy at the stadium! Marlon argues furiously but the Yellow card stands.
  • 57' Alan Patrick catches the referee's attention in entirely the wrong way. Yellow card on 57.
  • 62' Cruzeiro EC is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 63' The SC Internacional bench stirs into life. Luiz Adriano is withdrawn and Alexandre Alemao gets his opportunity.
