The Pacui fans voiced their displeasure as they felt that Falcão Favoretto should have stopped the shot. Zé Ribeiro recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 35th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. Falcão Favoretto showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Waldemar do Vale in the 40th minute of the match.
