League Play-Off

Estádio Bujaru
Spectators: 32 (Terracing: 25, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Edmundo Cardozo kicked off to start the match. An unexpectedly hard shot by Vitório Vides in the 4th minute of play forced Bujaru EC's goalkeeper João Augusto Vidal to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. In the 4th minute, André Luís Corrêa hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Murillo Corrêa took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Edmundo Cardozo, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Murillo Corrêa was out of position in the 13 minute of play, and Edmundo Cardozo capitalized on the mistake with a soft shot into the goal. Edmundo Cardozo really showed his touch with that goal: 1-0. The supporters of Braunal booed when Bujaru EC was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 21 match minutes in a wonderful position. Elói de Lara didn't get a good kick on the ball. 23 minutes had been played when some careless play by Bujaru EC's defense caused the ball to cross the line for a corner. Flavinho Pinho was slow to take the kick. During this time Braunal's players had a chance to rest. The corner went over the outstretched arms of Bujaru EC's goalie and right to Rafinha Trancoso. He fired away a shot at goal, but the shot had too much spin, and it went just outside the goal. Bujaru EC's manager breathed a sigh of relief on the sidelines as his team had managed to escape an almost certain goal. The audience was convinced that Vitório Vides's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but João Augusto Vidal was relentless in the 28th minute of the game. 33 minutes into the match, Bujaru EC's goal looked a bit too open when Vitório Vides came free, but João Augusto Vidal reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. After a defensive mix-up in Bujaru EC's zone, Vitório Vides stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. João Augusto Vidal came out of the goal and Vitório Vides tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. In the 39th minute Edmundo Cardozo shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Murillo Corrêa saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Af the end of the first half the score was 2-0. The first half had gone as expected for the home team.

The hometeam waved at the audience when it was time for Vitório Vides to strike the kick off in the second half. After a rather tough play, Braunal's Norberto Rosa got a free kick in the 51st minute. Edmundo Cardozo's shot was meant for the net just under the crossbar, but Murillo Corrêa read the situation well and was quickly in position to make a wonderful save in the 64th minute of play. After a rather tough play, Braunal's Paulão Messias got a free kick in the 65th minute. Olívio Paes received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 68th minute. João Augusto Vidal tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. In the 73rd minute Vitório Vides shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but João Augusto Vidal saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. After having played for 76 minutes, Manoel Guimarães managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Bujaru EC's supporters crossed their fingers, but Manoel Guimarães was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. Olívio Paes could have scored with his fast shot on goal in the 80th minute of the match, but João Augusto Vidal made a huge save. Bujaru EC's João Augusto Vidal proved his good apprehension of play when he, in the 82nd minute of the match, managed to save Bujaru EC from getting a goal against them. Murillo Corrêa showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Manoel Guimarães, who was totally free with the ball in the 90th minute. The supporters of Bujaru EC booed when Braunal was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 95 match minutes in a wonderful position. Luciano Figueiredo didn't get a good kick on the ball.
