Match Events

- 10' It’s high time Roger Machado made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
- 15' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. EC Bahia needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.

- 22' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
- 27' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering EC Bahia that had 321 games and scored 297 goals.
- 32' EC Bahia is showing some good football. However, EC Bahia are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.

- 41' Nicolas Acevedo was booked on 41.
- 45' The referee calls foul for Damian Bobadilla. He receives a card.
- 50' 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 Leo Vieira suffering a number of foals already.
- 55' Sao Paulo FC is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.

- 67' Rafael Monteiro has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 14 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
