Folhetkadr FC's supporters rose to their feet, but Luisinho Dracena was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Lucas Sendoa breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. Moises Orlin was really disappointed when he shot the ball just outside the right post instead of scoring a goal in the 27th minute.

The referee showed Ermegildo Enol the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. After 30 minutes of play, the referee blew the whistle.
