Events
Match Events

- 19' Dimitri Payet is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for CR Vasco da Gama so far.
- 24' It looks surprising Sao Paulo FC does not make any changes. Joao Victor has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 29' CR Vasco da Gama 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.

- 39' Lucas Moura has been relatively quiet despite scoring 49 goals in his last 385 appearances.

- 77' Fresh legs for Sao Paulo FC! Rodrigo Nestor comes on to replace Luciano.
- 82' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Sao Paulo FC needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
