Events

Match Events

  • 0' The stage is set the green flag drops! Another match against Sao Paulo FC and Botafogo FR has kicked off!
  • 4' Goal! Luciano scores his 63 goal in 386 matches.
  • 9' 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 Jonathan Calleri suffering a number of foals already.
  • 14' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 1 times this season with Botafogo FR winning 0% of all matches.
  • 19' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Arthur Cabral made 238 appearances and scored 47 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 24' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Botafogo FR needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 27' It’s gonna be a card for Luciano.
  • 30' Pedrinho has so much to prove this time. He replaces Luciano on 30 minute.
  • 35' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 40' Sao Paulo FC is showing some good football. However, Sao Paulo FC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 44' Another change for Sao Paulo FC made on 44 minute. Jose Sabino leaves to be changed by Luis Osorio.
  • 45' Kadir Barria is replacing Lucas Villalba for the Botafogo FR side.
  • 50' It looks like no one’s ball. Botafogo FR is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 55' Sao Paulo FC is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 60' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Sao Paulo FC that had 371 games and scored 405 goals.

  • 65' Edenilson has so much to prove this time. He replaces Alvaro Montoro on 65 minute.
  • 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' Danielzinho has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 18 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 80' Wendell was booked on 80.
  • 84' Botafogo FR player sees a card in front of him.
  • 85' A meaty challenge results in booking for Joaquin Correa on 85.
