Jereba
Spectators: 161 (Terracing: 121, Seating: 37, VIP seats: 3) The sun was shining, the grass was green and the audience cheered when Joaquim Félix got the match started through his kick off. Dudu Pinho might have been able to make a better finish in the 9th minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Zé Augusto Barbosa. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Dudu Pinho ran back to his position shaking his head. When Jereba 4EVER's Ezequiel Tande, in the 11th minute, received a pass right in front of the net, it looked like a certain goal, but his shot went outside. A wasted opportunity for Jereba 4EVER. 13 minutes into the game, Joaquim Félix cracked a shot to the right of the goalkeeper, 0-1. Zé Augusto Barbosa was not in position, and could only watch the ball fly in. Zé Paulo Castro hit a great freekick 15 minutes into the match. After 17 played minutes Ibirama Futebol Clube got a freekick which was hit by Adhemar Guedes. The audience was convinced that Oséias Severo's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Zé Augusto Barbosa was relentless in the 21st minute of the game. Froilan Dolcet had in the 23rdth minute some difficulties stopping Ezequiel Tande's well aimed penalty as it nearly passed him on his left side, but he still managed to hold the ball. A collision led to Jereba 4EVER getting a freekick after 25 minutes play. Zé Paulo Castro hit a great ball. Ezequiel Tande sent away a hard shot on goal in the 32nd minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. After a rather tough play, Jereba 4EVER's Zé Paulo Castro got a free kick in the 35th minute. After a defensive mix-up in Jereba 4EVER's zone, Yan Falcão stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Zé Augusto Barbosa came out of the goal and Yan Falcão tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. After 40 minutes of play, Ibirama Futebol Clube's Oséias Severo made it 0-2 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Zé Augusto Barbosa was left in no man's land by his defense there! With a couple of smart ball manuevers Adrianinho Cunha in the 44th managed to get into a good position. With a left leg Zé Augusto Barbosa saved Jereba 4EVER from getting behind. Oséias Severo fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 45th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Zé Augusto Barbosa having to interfere. Disappointed in the 0-2 score, the home team went to the dressing room to adjust tactics for the second half.

The wind increased when Zé Paulo Castro made the kick off in the second half. Ezequiel Tande recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 51st minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. Jereba 4EVER's Zé Augusto Barbosa proved his good apprehension of play when he, in the 56th minute of the match, managed to save Jereba 4EVER from getting a goal against them. The supporters of Ibirama Futebol Clube booed when Jereba 4EVER was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 58 match minutes in a wonderful position. Ernesto Ceresso didn't get a good kick on the ball. 62 minutes into the match, Ibirama Futebol Clube's goal looked a bit too open when Zé Paulo Castro came free, but Froilan Dolcet reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. An unexpectedly hard shot by Zé Paulo Castro in the 63rd minute of play forced Ibirama Futebol Clube's goalkeeper Froilan Dolcet to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Jereba 4EVER's Reynaldo Mello managed, thanks to a brazen rush, stole the ball on a throw-in made by Adhemar Guedes in the 67 minute of the game. After 75 minutes of play, Jereba 4EVER's Zé Paulo Castro made it 1-2 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Froilan Dolcet was left in no man's land by his defense there! In the 78th minute Ezequiel Tande shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Froilan Dolcet saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Yan Falcão kicked well hit freekick during the 91st minute of the match. Vito Porto kicked well hit freekick during the 94th minute of the match. Ibirama Futebol Clube played a much better game than Jereba 4EVER and deserved their victory. The Jereba 4EVER players were clearly disappointed as they left the ground.
