Events

Match Events

  • 0' That's the starting whistle at Estadio Jose Pinheiro Borba. Ninety minutes of football awaits between SC Internacional and Sao Paulo FC.

  • 10' Heitor needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Red cards this season.
  • 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 Diego suffering a number of foals already.
  • 20' A goal from the Brazil international Thiago Galhardo! He fires home on 20 to make it 1-0!
  • 25' GOAL! Luciano scores on 25. Assisted by Pablo Felipe

  • 56' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Santiago Trellez made 373 appearances and scored 8 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 58' The referee does not hesitate — a Yellow card for Abel Hernandez on 58 minutes.
  • 60' Ze Gabriel has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a Red card on 60.
