Canoeira
Spectators: 5320 (Terracing: 4200, Seating: 1100, VIP seats: 20) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Ezequiel Pinho started the match with the kick off. Rodrigo Mineiro sent away a hard shot on goal in the 6th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. If João Augusto da Silva had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 10th minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. Duda Passos showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Raimundo Borges, who was totally free with the ball in the 15th minute. Rui Cunha hit a great freekick 15 minutes into the match. After a defensive mix-up in Sagrado's zone, Rodrigo Mineiro stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Jacinto Peixoto came out of the goal and Rodrigo Mineiro tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. After having played for 23 minutes, Ezequiel Pinho managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Canoeira's supporters crossed their fingers, but Ezequiel Pinho was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. In the 27th match minute, Sagrado was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Luís Fábio Meira to maneuver through the defense. Duda Passos showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Raimundo Borges in the 34th minute of the match. Duda Passos took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Magno Pereira, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. After a very even first half the match was still tied. The players went to their respective dressing rooms to discuss the tactics for the second half.

Duda Passos showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Raimundo Borges, who was totally free with the ball in the 52nd minute. Jacinto Peixoto showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Rodrigo Mineiro, who was totally free with the ball in the 55th minute. 58 minutes into the game, one of Sagrado:s players got tackled near the goal, and the referee blew for a penalty. The referee gave Canoeira a penalty, 60 minutes into the game. The penalty shot was made by Elói Souto, who made a well placed shot into the net to the right of Sagrado's Jacinto Peixoto. 1-0. In the 67th minute, Sagrado's Luís Fábio Meira seemed to kick out at an opponent. The referee saw this and, surprisingly, showed Luís Fábio Meira the red card, dismissing him from the pitch. The coaching staff of Sagrado protested bitterly, but the referee would have none of it, and Luís Fábio Meira had no choice but to slowly walk off the pitch. In the 74th minute, Ezequiel Pinho left the goalkeeper for dead before tapping the ball into the right side of the net. The Canoeira fans were clearly happy with the effort and the scoreboard reflected the new score: 3-0. Rodrigo Mineiro fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 87th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Jacinto Peixoto having to interfere. In the 88th minute Ezequiel Pinho shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Jacinto Peixoto saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. When Márcio Mota fell near the penalty area in the 89th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Sagrado's protests and gave Márcio Mota a yellow card for diving instead. In the 89th minute, Márcio Mota hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Ezequiel Pinho fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 101st minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Jacinto Peixoto having to interfere. There were very few away supporters still in the ground by the end of the match. Most of them had left early, disgusted by the way their team had been torn apart. Canoeira fully deserved thier win.
