Events
Match Events
- 0' Three points are at stake. SE Palmeiras host Santos FC — let the battle begin!
- 5' SE Palmeiras are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined Santos FC backline.
- 10' Antonio Carlos has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
- 15' It’s high time Cuca made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
- 20' With 0 assists to his name this season, Derlis Gonzalez is clearly more than just a goal scorer for SE Palmeiras.
- 25' 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.
- 30' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
- 35' Both keepers have barely been tested. SE Palmeiras and Santos FC are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
- 40' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Cuca will be considering his options from the bench.
- 45' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
- 50' Santos FC has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 0 of the last 1 meetings.
- 55' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 1 times this season with Santos FC winning 0% of all matches.
- 60' It looks surprising Santos FC does not make any changes. Alison has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 65' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
- 70' Santos FC fans have not had much to celebrate tonight. Their side is struggling to get forward.
- 75' It looks like no one’s ball. SE Palmeiras is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 80' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 80 minutes.
- 85' 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.
- 90' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering SE Palmeiras that had 393 games and scored 590 goals.
- The points are shared — SE Palmeiras 3-2 Santos FC. Honours even.
