Events
Match Events
- 0' The game is set. SE Palmeiras kicks off things out of here…
- 5' SE Palmeiras is showing some good football. However, SE Palmeiras are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
- 10' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering SE Palmeiras that had 386 games and scored 576 goals.
- 11' Cruzeiro EC is taking the lead after the goal scored by Keny Arroyo on 11.
- 11' The referee shows Cruzeiro EC player a card on 11.
- 12' Cruzeiro EC receives a card for a hard tackle on 12.
- 17' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Jhon Arias made 386 appearances and scored 28 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 20' What a strike from Felipe Anderson! The score is 1-1.
- 25' 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 Gerson suffering a number of foals already.
- 30' SE Palmeiras started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 30.
- 35' SE Palmeiras is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 40' Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.
- 42' The referee shows Cruzeiro EC player a card on 42.
- 47' Ramon Sosa needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 9 Yellow cards this season.
- 52' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 57' 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.
- 62' It looks like no one’s ball. SE Palmeiras is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 67' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
- 72' SE Palmeiras player sees a card in front of him.
- 75' A meaty challenge results in booking for Otavio on 75.
- 80' It looks surprising SE Palmeiras does not make any changes. Arthur Santana has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 85' It’s high time Artur Jorge made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
- 88' It’s gonna be a card for Murilo Cerqueira.
- 90' Lucas Silva was booked on 90.
- The final score is 1-1.
