Events
Match Events
- 0' KICK OFF: Santos FC gets underway.
- 5' Bruno Henrique has been relatively quiet despite scoring 73 goals in his last 300 appearances.
- 10' CR Flamengo looks like a favorite considering 1 games won in last 2 matches with its main striker Lucas Paqueta scoring 2 goals.
- 15' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. CR Flamengo needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
- 20' Supporters expect more eagerness from Gonzalo Escobar, as he is very good at scoring at Urbano Caldeira with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
- 23' It’s gonna be a card for Danilo.
- 28' The Array continues to deliver drama. Both Santos FC and CR Flamengo are desperate not to drop points on matchday .
- 33' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
- 38' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.

- 52' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 52 minutes.
- 57' Giorgian De Arrascaeta has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 34 appearances with only 4 goals this season.
- 62' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Neymar made 533 appearances and scored 115 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
