- 13' 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.
- 18' Sao Paulo FC are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined CR Flamengo backline.
- 23' Anderson Martins needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
- 25' CR Flamengo player sees a Yellow card in front of him.
- 28' Thuler catches the referee's attention in entirely the wrong way. Yellow card on 28.
- 31' Sao Paulo FC ring the changes. Alexandre Pato has done his job and it is now time for Everton to step up.
- 36' Brazil international Tiago Volpi has been a key figure this campaign — 1 goals and 0 assists in the Array this season.
- 41' The Sao Paulo FC bench stirs into life. Anderson Martins is withdrawn and Hernanes gets his opportunity.
- 45' The referee does not hesitate — a Yellow card for Ronaldo on 45 minutes.
- 45' Orlando Berrio makes way for Lucas Silva at the 45 minute mark. A tactical switch from CR Flamengo.
- 50' With 0 assists to his name this season, Dantas is clearly more than just a goal scorer for CR Flamengo.
- 55' CR Flamengo is showing some good football. However, CR Flamengo are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.

- 76' 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 Hudson suffering a number of foals already.
- 77' Another change for Sao Paulo FC made on 77 minute. Reinaldo leaves to be changed by Helio Junio.
