Estádio Icaissara
Spectators: 34 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) Jairo Martins stood for a superb save when he managed to get hold of Giuseppe Pinho's shot from short distance in the 3rd minute. The audience thought a goal was coming when Luís Fernando Zilles got free with Jairo Martins in the 8th minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort. In the 13th minute, Giuseppe Pinho got an opportunity to score, but he didn't get a solid hit on the ball and ended up kicking it wide of the goal. Jairo Martins took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Giuseppe Pinho, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Luís Fernando Zilles blasted a shot towards the goal in the 30th minute, but the shot hit the top of the crossbar and went out without Jairo Martins having to make a save. The goalkeeper, Jairo Martins, was totally fooled by Icaissara's Vivaldo Linhares, who 32 minutes into the game made a penalty shot that went in on the goalkeeper's left side. Enrique Zonta sent away a hard shot on goal in the 35th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. After a defensive mix-up in Bomba SC's zone, Giuseppe Pinho stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Jairo Martins came out of the goal and Giuseppe Pinho tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. The audience thought a goal was coming when Luís Fernando Zilles got free with Jairo Martins in the 46th minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort. All the noise was coming from the home fans when the whistle went for half-time. The home team had fought hardest to put themselves in a deserved lead.

The players of the away team seemed most concentrated when Giuseppe Pinho stepped up to make the kick off in the second half. Jairo Martins showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Giuseppe Pinho in the 54th minute of the match. After some fancy dribbling in the 55th minute, Giuseppe Pinho managed to get in a good position for a shot. Icaissara's supporters rose to their feet, but Giuseppe Pinho was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Jairo Martins breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. After 57 minutes, Giuseppe Pinho made it 2-0 with a short kick to the right side. Bomba SC's Jairo Martins tried to save the shot but he was too slow in reacting to the shot. When Armando Neves came up free with the goalie in the 63rd minute, the Bomba SC fans jumped to their feet. But the shot missed the goal by a fraction of an inch, and the fans sat back down disappointed that Armando Neves couldn't finish the play. Armando Neves struck a weak shot in the 66th minute. Isaltino Lopes didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Bomba SC. After a rather tough play, Icaissara's Leopoldo Pitta got a free kick in the 79th minute. After having played for 83 minutes, Giuseppe Pinho managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Icaissara's supporters crossed their fingers, but Giuseppe Pinho was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. Giuseppe Pinho received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 90th minute. Jairo Martins tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. If Luís Fernando Zilles had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 95th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Bomba SC's players left the field with heads hung low after losing a match that had been finely balanced throughout.
