Events

Match Events

  • 0' The wait is over. Santos FC get us underway at Urbano Caldeira.
  • 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' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Tomas Rincon made 428 appearances and scored 8 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 15' Rafinha is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for Santos FC tonight.
  • 20' 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.
  • 25' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
  • 30' 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 Nonato suffering a number of foals already.
  • 35' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
  • 40' Santos FC currently sit in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
  • 45' Poor challenge from Wellington Rato. The referee spots it immediately and shows the Yellow card.
  • 46' Rodrigo Fernandez gets the nod from Santos FC. He replaces Maximiliano Silvera and will look to change the dynamic.
  • 51' The Array continues to deliver drama. Both Santos FC and Sao Paulo FC are desperate not to drop points on matchday .
  • 53' Juan Santos makes no mistake. The score reads 0-1 and Sao Paulo FC are in front.
  • 56' Another substitution for Santos FC to replace Kevyson by Gabriel Inocencio on 56 minute.
  • 61' A meaty challenge results in booking for Rafinha on 61.
  • 66' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
  • 71' Erison has so much to prove this time. He replaces Michel Araujo on 71 minute.
  • 72' Dodi is replacing Jean Lucas for the Santos FC side.
  • 77' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Sao Paulo FC that had 373 games and scored 407 goals.
  • 78' David gets the nod from Sao Paulo FC. He replaces Juan Santos and will look to change the dynamic.
  • 83' Sao Paulo FC come into this ranked in Array. They desperately need points to push themselves up the standings.
  • 84' Time for substitution for Santos FC. Marcos Leonardo Almeida is replaced by Julio Furch.
  • 87' Another change for Sao Paulo FC made on 87 minute. Caio Paulista leaves to be changed by Welington.
  • celebrates a vital win. Three points that could prove pivotal come season's end.
