    Players are dropping everywhere you look. This game has yet to find any sort of flow. It has been very stop-start with tackles flying in. Neither team has managed to string some passes together.

    Veiga's shot blocked! Palmeiras work the short corner into the Santos penalty area, but the block is made to prevent Veiga's shot from testing John. Good idea from Palmeiras though.

    Injury? Marinho looks to have hurt himself in a challenge on Adriano. This could be an early concern for Santos. The right winger is receiving some treatment on the pitch. He'll be fine.
    12'
    Rony does brilliantly! The 25-year-old drives to the byline, committing defenders as he goes. However, the Santos backline holds firm and the clearance is scrambled away!

    The first card of the match is shown to Verissimo for a bad tackle on Rony.

    Sore one! Jonatan was very high as he went for a ball inside the Palmeiras box and caught Luan. The central defender needs some treatment, but he should be fine to continue.
    7'
    Into the side netting! The space opened up for Para as he cut inside off the right wing, but he could only find the side netting with a low strike that Weverton was comfortable to leave.
    6'
    There are a lot of people inside the stadium for a game with 'no fans'...
    5'
    Good save from John! The Santos goalkeeper pulls off a good stop to prevent Rony from finding the back of the net, but the whistle had already gone for a foul in the box.
    4'
    It's a very positive start to this match from Santos. They are the ones on the front foot. They are looking to take the game to Palmeiras. This is the pattern we pretty much expected.

    So what sort of Copa Libertadores final will we get here? Santos will be looking to press high on their opponents, as they did in the last two rounds, but that might be tricky in this heat.

    19:59
    Okay, here we go. We are about to get under way at the Maracana. Kick off is moments away!
    19:58
    National anthem time! It's just a shame that there are no fans in the Maracana to sing along!
    19:57
    It's very, very warm at the Maracana for this match. That could be a factor between the two teams!
    19:56
    Santos can become the first Brazilian club to win the Copa Libertadores four times! History beckons!
