League Play-Off

ARENA BIER
Spectators: 32 (Terracing: 25, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) The sun was shining, the grass was green and the audience cheered when Romário Esteves got the match started through his kick off. In the 5th minute the ball was on its way in behind Conceicas SC's goalkeeper Ediberto Lago, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. 9 minutes into the game, Conceicas SC's Enio de Souza nearly tore a hole in the net with a booming shot. Genílson Sousa made a valiant effort, but he could not reach the ball in time, 0-1. With a couple of smart ball manuevers Elói Cardoso in the 14th managed to get into a good position. With a left leg Genílson Sousa saved BOLA MURCHA FC from getting behind. Ricardinho Siqueira received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 16th minute. Genílson Sousa tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Marcelo Sergipano's late challenge caught a BOLA MURCHA FC's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Marcelo Sergipano helped the player get up and apologised. After a rather tough play, Conceicas SC's Marcelo Sergipano got a free kick in the 18th minute. Elói Cardoso's shot was meant for the net just under the crossbar, but Genílson Sousa read the situation well and was quickly in position to make a wonderful save in the 23rd minute of play. In the 24th minute Elói Cardoso shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Genílson Sousa saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Genílson Sousa showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Elói Cardoso, who was totally free with the ball in the 26th minute. When Ricardinho Siqueira came up free with the goalie in the 28th minute, the Conceicas 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 Ricardinho Siqueira couldn't finish the play. Elói Cardoso struck a weak shot in the 41st minute. Genílson Sousa didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Conceicas SC.

The players of the away team seemed most concentrated when Elói Cardoso stepped up to make the kick off in the second half. Romário Esteves sent away a hard shot on goal in the 53rd minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Dráuzio de Sousa fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 55th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Ediberto Lago having to interfere. Ediberto Lago showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Romário Esteves, who was totally free with the ball in the 56th minute. Dráuzio de Sousa's shot was meant for the net just under the crossbar, but Ediberto Lago read the situation well and was quickly in position to make a wonderful save in the 58th minute of play. Ricardinho Siqueira was extremely unlucky when he, in the 60th minute, took a shot that hit the right post and went out. If Ricardinho Siqueira had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 63rd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Elói Cardoso spun around in front of the goal 66 minutes in the game, and got away a shot that, to his disappointment, went to the left of BOLA MURCHA FC's goal. If João Vítor Cabral had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 74th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. After 77 minutes, Enio de Souza mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Conceicas SC and the BOLA MURCHA FC players grew even worse after the yellow card. 77 minutes into the game, one of Conceicas SC:s players got tackled near the goal, and the referee blew for a penalty. Jeferson Marquez shot the penalty kick right outside the post. 82 minutes into the match, Conceicas SC's goal looked a bit too open when Romário Esteves came free, but Ediberto Lago reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Ediberto Lago stood for a superb save when he managed to get hold of Dráuzio de Sousa's shot from short distance in the 83rd minute. After having played for 93 minutes, Elói Cardoso managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Conceicas SC's supporters crossed their fingers, but Elói Cardoso was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. Elói Cardoso received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 96th minute. Genílson Sousa tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Conceicas SC were unable to convert their possession into goals, allowing BOLA MURCHA FC to leave the ground with a draw.
