Events
Match Events
- 0' The match kicks off with home fans waiting with anticipation for São Paulo FC to score. At the same time, CA Mineiro does not seem to pull back! Let’s get it on!
- 5' CA Mineiro started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 5.
- 10' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
- 15' Kevin Castano has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
- 20' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering CA Mineiro that had 483 games and scored 487 goals.
- 25' São Paulo FC are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
- 30' CA Mineiro has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 1 of the last 2 meetings.
- 33' Against the run of play, Gustavo Santana has scored! This game has turned on its head.
- 38' CA Mineiro is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 43' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
- 46' It is a substitution in CA Mineiro team. Kevin Castano is replaced by Vitor Hugo on 46 minute.
- 51' Bernard has been relatively quiet despite scoring 12 goals in his last 324 appearances.
- 56' 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 Fred suffering a number of foals already.
- 61' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. CA Mineiro needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
- 63' Fresh legs for Sao Paulo FC! Pablo Maia comes on to replace Danielzinho.
- 64' Iago Borduchi is ready to make an impact after coming on for Wendell at the 64 minute mark.
- 67' Against the run of play, Luciano has scored! This game has turned on its head.
- 69' What a moment for Iago Borduchi! That strike on 69 puts his side firmly in control.
- 70' Alan Minda is replacing Alexsander Gomes for the CA Mineiro side.
- 75' Renan Lodi is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for São Paulo FC so far.
- 80' Time for substitution for Sao Paulo FC. Artur Guimaraes is replaced by Djhordney.
- 81' It is a substitution in CA Mineiro team. Victor Hugo Gomes is replaced by Gustavo Scarpa on 81 minute.
- 85' It is a substitution in Sao Paulo FC team. Luciano is replaced by Andre Silva on 85 minute.
- 90' That is a card for Sao Paulo FC. Djhordney will be fuming at that decision.
- Hope, you loved the show. Another epic battle is over with the score 2-0.
