Events

Match Events

  • 35' CR Flamengo seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.

  • 70' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
  • 75' Anderson Martins has been relatively quiet despite scoring 5 goals in his last 373 appearances.
