- 13' GOAL! Luciano fires home to make it 1-0!
- 18' Dani Alves needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 24 Yellow cards this season.
- 23' 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 Ricardinho suffering a number of foals already.
- 28' The home supporters are growing impatient. Sao Paulo FC must find a spark to ignite this game.
- 33' SC Recife 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.

- 58' The travelling SC Recife supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
