TALENT´S ARENA
Spectators: 145 (Terracing: 110, Seating: 33, VIP seats: 2) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Cristóvão Mattos kicked off to start the match. Paranhos Ariranha FC's Arí Dias pulled a muscle in his back after 6 minutes and couldn't finish the game. Paranhos Ariranha FC made a substitution. Gaspar Poças replaced Arí Dias. Joel Aparecido hit a great freekick 7 minutes into the match. 8 minutes into the match, Carlinhos Schmidt had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Michel van der Bij. Talento Futebol clube's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Carlinhos Schmidt was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 0-1. Carlinhos Schmidt fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 13th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Michel van der Bij having to interfere. Paranhos Ariranha FC's Gaspar Gilesindo played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Raúl Ceresso in the 16th minute of play. Raúl Ceresso's late challenge caught a Paranhos Ariranha FC's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Raúl Ceresso helped the player get up and apologised. After a rather tough play, Talento Futebol clube's Raúl Ceresso got a free kick in the 22nd minute. An unexpectedly hard shot by Raúl Ceresso in the 25th minute of play forced Paranhos Ariranha FC's goalkeeper Gaspar Gilesindo to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. After 25 minutes, Júnior Zago mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Talento Futebol clube and the Paranhos Ariranha FC players grew even worse after the yellow card. A collision led to Talento Futebol clube getting a freekick after 26 minutes play. Júnior Zago hit a great ball. Michel van der Bij took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Cristóvão Mattos, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. If Raúl Ceresso had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 35th minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. After a rather tough play, Paranhos Ariranha FC's Carlinhos Schmidt got a free kick in the 38th minute. Michel van der Bij came out of the goal in the 41st minute to try and stop a shot by Paranhos Ariranha FC's Cristóvão Mattos. But to his dismay, Cristóvão Mattos quickly shot the ball in between his legs and into the goal making it 0-2. In the 46th match minute, Paranhos Ariranha FC was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Cai Yi Guo to maneuver through the defense. Disappointed in the 0-2 score, the home team went to the dressing room to adjust tactics for the second half.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Raúl Ceresso to make the kick off. In the 50th match minute, Paranhos Ariranha FC was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by João Francisco Fontes to maneuver through the defense. 53 minutes into the match, Talento Futebol clube's goal looked a bit too open when Cristóvão Mattos came free, but Michel van der Bij reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. After 55 played minutes Talento Futebol clube got a freekick which was hit by Gualter Proença. With an all-out effort, Paranhos Ariranha FC's Michel van der Bij threw himself towards the right post 59 minutes into the match and grabbed hold of the ball from Carlinhos Schmidt, which otherwise would have been placed in the net. After a rather tough play, Talento Futebol clube's Bernardo Pernambucano got a free kick in the 61st minute.

Michel van der Bij took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Cristóvão Mattos, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Yuri Peres might have been able to make a better finish in the 81st minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Gaspar Gilesindo. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Yuri Peres ran back to his position shaking his head. In the 82nd minute, Gaspar Poças hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Bernardo Pernambucano hit a great freekick 90 minutes into the match. The Talento Futebol clube fans had already started to leave before the final whistle blew.
