- 8' Orlando Berrio does the damage! The net is bulging and CR Flamengo surge ahead!
- 13' With 0 assists to his name this season, Dantas is clearly more than just a goal scorer for CR Flamengo.

- 60' 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 Tche Tche suffering a number of foals already.
