After having played for 29 minutes, Lenílson Meirelles managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal.

Júnior Medeiros sent away a hard shot on goal in the 42nd minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance.

Júnior Medeiros recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 92nd minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal.

Macapuana's fans were overjoyed with their teams well-earned victory and stayed in the stadium long after the final whistle to celebrate the win.
