  • 5' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.

  • 15' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
  • 20' 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.

  • 30' With 0 assists to his name this season, Agustin Rossi is clearly more than just a goal scorer for Sao Paulo FC.

  • 38' It’s high time Tite made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.

  • 46' Bruno Henrique makes way for Gerson at the 46 minute mark. A tactical switch from CR Flamengo.
  • 51' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 51 minutes.
  • 56' 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.

  • 63' Giorgian De Arrascaeta is ready to make an impact after coming on for Carlinhos at the 63 minute mark.

  • 74' Controversy at the stadium! David Luiz argues furiously but the card stands.
  • 75' Liziero gets the nod from Sao Paulo FC. He replaces Damian Bobadilla and will look to change the dynamic.

  • 81' Matias Vina, a Uruguay , has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.

  • Hope, you loved the show. Another epic battle is over with the score 1-0.
