- 0' What a night it is going to be! SC Recife welcome Fortaleza EC for this crunch clash at Ilha do Retiro.
- 5' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. SC Recife needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
- 10' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Deyverson made 400 appearances and scored 57 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 15' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
- 20' SC Recife are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined Fortaleza EC backline.
- 25' Over 25 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
- 30' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His SC Recife side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
- 35' It’s high time Juan Vojvoda made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
- 40' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 40 minutes.
- 42' A tactical swap from SC Recife — Arthur on, Goncalo Paciencia off on 42 minutes.
- 46' Kervin Andrade has so much to prove this time. He replaces Breno Lopes on 46 minute.
- 51' Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.
- 56' Controversy at the stadium! Juan Lucero argues furiously but the card stands.
- 61' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
- 62' Another substitution for SC Recife to replace Du Queiroz by Christian Ortiz on 62 minute.
- 67' Eros Mancuso is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for Fortaleza EC tonight.
- 69' Jose Welison has so much to prove this time. He replaces Bruno Cesar on 69 minute.
- 74' Guillermo Fernandez has so much to prove this time. He replaces Matheus Rossetto on 74 minute.
- 79' 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 Kervin Andrade suffering a number of foals already.
- 84' SC Recife ring the changes. Igor Carius has done his job and it is now time for Lenny Lobato to step up.
- 88' Fortaleza EC manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Deyverson is hanging Juan Lucero on the field on 88 minute.
- 89' Controversy at the stadium! Breno Lopes argues furiously but the card stands.
- 90' A meaty challenge results in booking for Titi on 90.
- Both sets of fans can go home satisfied — a 0-0 draw is a fair result on the day.
