- 20' Supporters expect more eagerness from Joao Ricardo, as he is very good at scoring at Morumbi with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
- 25' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Ferreira made 321 appearances and scored 19 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 30' Fortaleza EC 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.
- 35' Andre Silva needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 18 Yellow cards this season.
- 40' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
- 43' It’s a booking for Sao Paulo FC player. Lucas Ferreira gets a card.

- 69' Marinho is replacing Breno Lopes for the Fortaleza EC side.
- 73' That looks like a foul for a card for Gustavo.

- 80' It is a substitution in Fortaleza EC team. Juan Lucero is replaced by Deyverson on 80 minute.
- 81' Time for substitution for Fortaleza EC. Gustavo is replaced by David Luiz.
- 84' The Sao Paulo FC manager makes a substitution. Lucas Ferreira departs to be replaced by Ryan Rodrigues.
- 89' 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.
