- 32' Agustin Rossi, a Argentina , has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
- 37' 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 Gonzalo Tapia suffering a number of foals already.

- 71' Lucas Moura is ready to make an impact after coming on for Luiz Gustavo at the 71 minute mark.
- 76' Over 76 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.

- 81' Saul makes way for Yan at the 81 minute mark. A tactical switch from CR Flamengo.
- 86' 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.

- Hope, you loved the show. Another epic battle is over with the score 2-2.
