Spectators: 39 (Terracing: 30, Seating: 9, VIP seats: 0) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play.

But the shot missed the goal by a fraction of an inch, and the fans sat back down disappointed that Paulo Godoi couldn't finish the play. If Paulo Godoi had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 27th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. In the 30th minute the ball was on its way in behind A.D.
