Events
Match Events

- 9' Cicero is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for Botafogo FR tonight.
- 14' Santos FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 14.
- 19' Laercio has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 0 goals to his name this season.
- 24' 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.
- 29' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Botafogo FR that had 344 games and scored 353 goals.
- 30' Poor challenge from Kevin. The referee spots it immediately and shows the Yellow card.
- 33' A meaty challenge results in booking for Yeferson Soteldo on 33.
- 38' The 29-year-old Pedro Raul has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
- 43' Victor Luis has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
- 46' The Santos FC bench stirs into life. Lucas Braga is withdrawn and Jobson gets his opportunity.
- 47' GOAL! Pedro Raul fires home to make it 1-1!
- 52' Botafogo FR have won 353 goals from 344 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.

- 65' With 0 assists to his name this season, Felipe Jonatan is clearly more than just a goal scorer for Santos FC.

- 72' The whistle greets Sandry as he departs to be replaced by Jean Mota.
- 77' The travelling Botafogo FR supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
