Events

Match Events

  • 0' KICK OFF: Sao Paulo FC gets underway.

  • 6' Newton has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 21 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 11' It looks surprising Sao Paulo FC does not make any changes. Eder has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 14' It’s gonna be a card for Marquinhos Gabriel.
  • 19' 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 Fellipe Mateus suffering a number of foals already.
  • 21' That looks like a foul for a card for Ronald.
  • 22' What a strike from Luciano! The score is 2-0.
  • 26' The referee shows Sao Paulo FC player a card on 26.
  • 31' Jonathan Lemos needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Red cards this season.
  • 34' The referee shows Criciuma EC player a card on 34.
  • 39' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Criciúma EC needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.

  • 60' It’s a booking for Sao Paulo FC player. Luciano gets a card.
  • 65' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 69' Another substitution for Criciuma EC to replace Eder by Allano on 69 minute.
  • 74' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 74 minutes.
  • 75' Time for substitution for Sao Paulo FC. Ferreira is replaced by Michel Araujo.
