Events

Match Events

  • 0' The stage is set the green flag drops! Another match against Santos FC and EC Bahia has kicked off!
  • 5' Over 5 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
  • 10' Regis, a Brazil , has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
  • 15' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
  • 20' EC Bahia have won 359 goals from 333 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
  • 25' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Santos FC that had 290 games and scored 361 goals.
  • 30' It looks like no one’s ball. Santos FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 35' Edson has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
  • 40' Both keepers have barely been tested. Santos FC and EC Bahia are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
  • 45' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
  • 50' Dodo needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
  • 55' It looks surprising Santos FC does not make any changes. Tiago Pagnussat has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 60' Santos FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 60.
  • 65' Santos FC currently sit in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
  • 70' 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.
  • 75' EC Bahia looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 1 matches with its main striker Willian Jose scoring 1 goals.
  • 80' The energy levels are beginning to show. Enderson Moreira might look to freshen things up shortly.
  • 85' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 90' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both Santos FC and EC Bahia are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
  • That’s it! Another goalless match for Santos FC and EC Bahia (для сухой ничьи).
