Events

  • 4' A stunning finish from Derik Lacerda — that came from absolutely nowhere!
  • 9' has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 0 of the last 0 meetings.
  • 14' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
  • 19' 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.
  • 24' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
  • 29' Lucas Lima has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a card on 29.
  • 34' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering SC Recife that had 240 games and scored 123 goals.
  • 38' SC Recife player sees a card in front of him.
  • 43' That is a card for Santos FC. Gonzalo Escobar will be fuming at that decision.
  • 45' That is a card for Santos FC. Tomas Rincon will be fuming at that decision.
  • 46' The SC Recife manager makes a substitution. Derik Lacerda departs to be replaced by Ignacio Ramirez.
  • 51' 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 Tomas Rincon suffering a number of foals already.
  • 56' The travelling Santos FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 61' SC Recife are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined Santos FC backline.

  • 68' With 0 assists to his name this season, Gustavo Henrique is clearly more than just a goal scorer for SC Recife.
  • 70' What a strike from Gustavo Henrique! The score is 1-1.
  • 75' Over 75 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
  • 78' The SC Recife manager makes a substitution. Lucas Lima departs to be replaced by Hyoran.
  • 79' GOAL! Gabriel Bontempo scores on 79. Assisted by Tiquinho Soares
  • 82' The referee shows Santos FC player a card on 82.
  • 83' Fresh legs for SC Recife! Rodrigo Atencio comes on to replace Matheusinho.
  • 86' The referee has no hesitation. Hyoran is booked for SC Recife — card on 86.
