- 5' 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.
- 10' Brazil international Lucas Lima has been a key figure this campaign — 0 goals and 0 assists in the Array this season.
- 15' Edu Dracena, a Brazil , has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
- 20' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
- 25' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering SE Palmeiras that had 402 games and scored 605 goals.
- 30' The home supporters are growing impatient. Santos FC must find a spark to ignite this game.
- 35' Hyoran has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 0 goals to his name this season.
- 40' 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.
- 45' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
- 50' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.

- 60' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
- 65' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.

- 75' Over 75 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
- 80' 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 Antonio Carlos suffering a number of foals already.
- 85' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 90' SE Palmeiras looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 2 matches with its main striker Jose Manuel Lopez scoring 1 goals.
