Events

Match Events

  • 0' In just a few seconds will turn into a battlefield for São Paulo FC and Fluminense FC.
  • 5' With 0 assists to his name this season, Joao Rojas is clearly more than just a goal scorer for São Paulo FC.
  • 10' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
  • 15' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 1 times this season with Fluminense FC winning 100% of all matches.
  • 20' Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.
  • 25' Liziero, a Brazil , has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
  • 30' Dodi needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
  • 35' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering São Paulo FC that had 387 games and scored 422 goals.
  • 40' São Paulo FC 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.
  • 45' 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 Anderson Martins suffering a number of foals already.
  • 50' Roger Ibanez has been relatively quiet despite scoring 12 goals in his last 404 appearances.
  • 55' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
  • 60' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 65' The Array continues to deliver drama. Both São Paulo FC and Fluminense FC are desperate not to drop points on matchday .
  • 70' Kayke has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 0 goals to his name this season.
  • 75' The energy levels are beginning to show. Marcelo Oliveira might look to freshen things up shortly.
  • 80' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 85' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
  • 90' The home supporters are growing impatient. São Paulo FC must find a spark to ignite this game.
  • The final whistle. It looks like we are having a draw.
