Events
Match Events
- 0' Here we go! The referee blows the whistle and SC Internacional launch into their encounter with Santos FC.
- 5' The 37-year-old Victor Cuesta has been sensational this season — 2 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
- 10' Santos FC 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.
- 15' SC Internacional currently sit in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
- 20' Gabriel Barbosa has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
- 25' SC Internacional are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined Santos FC backline.
- 30' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Santos FC that had 300 games and scored 377 goals.
- 35' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
- 40' Santos FC looks like a favorite considering 1 games won in last 2 matches with its main striker Gabriel Barbosa scoring 2 goals.
- 45' Marcelo Lomba is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for SC Internacional so far.
- 50' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 2 times this season with Santos FC winning 50% of all matches.
- 55' It looks surprising SC Internacional does not make any changes. Derlis Gonzalez has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 60' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Bryan Ruiz made 300 appearances and scored 0 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 65' Santos FC is showing some good football. However, Santos FC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
- 70' Santos FC fans have not had much to celebrate tonight. Their side is struggling to get forward.
- 75' SC Internacional are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
- 80' The travelling Santos FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 85' Santos FC has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 1 of the last 2 meetings.
- 90' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
- Both sets of fans can go home satisfied — a 2-2 draw is a fair result on the day.
