Eddie the Head Arena
Spectators: 37 (Terracing: 29, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Luan Campidelis started the match with the kick off. In the 3rd minute Rafinha Tróia shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Cícero Teles saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. The attack was good, but when Luan Campidelis in the 3rd minute was about to shoot he didn't kick quite good enough and the ball went high over goal. In the 4th match minute, Iron Maiden Football was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Maurinho Neves to maneuver through the defense. After some careless play in the Esporte Clube Zeus defense, Ronaldinho Veloso kicked a shot that curved into the net to the right of Chico Răica. The Esporte Clube Zeus fans voiced their displeasure as they felt that Chico Răica should have stopped the shot. 13 minutes into the match, Luan Campidelis had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Cícero Teles. Iron Maiden Football's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Luan Campidelis was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 1-1. After a rather tough play, Iron Maiden Football's Marcos Santana got a free kick in the 16th minute. After 18 minutes, Luan Campidelis made it 1-2 with a short kick to the right side. Iron Maiden Football's Cícero Teles tried to save the shot but he was too slow in reacting to the shot. In the 20th minute Luan Campidelis shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Cícero Teles saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. When the match had gone on for 23 minutes, Luan Campidelis put it in 1-3 from a short distance just to the right of Cícero Teles. In the 26th minute, Luan Campidelis ran past the defenders and hit a shot which went straight ahead into goal. Cícero Teles was frozen by the shot and now it was 1-4. Luan Campidelis fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 30th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Cícero Teles having to interfere. Esporte Clube Zeus's Eusébio de Alcântara got a good chance for a goal in the 31st minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. If Luan Campidelis had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 33rd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. When Rafinha Tróia came up free with the goalie in the 35th minute, the Esporte Clube Zeus 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 Rafinha Tróia couldn't finish the play. In the 37thth minute of the game Luan Campidelis who was perfectly placed tried to make a shot on goal, but Iron Maiden Football's Cícero Teles was lucky and managed to grab hold of the ball. Willian Aguiar tried to clear up in front of the goal, but didn't succeed and rather the ball rolled into the own goal to the right of a despaired Cícero Teles. An unnecessary self made goal, 1-5 in the 39th minute. Tales Saldanha hit a great freekick 43 minutes into the match. After some fancy dribbling in the 44th minute, Hugo Eger managed to get in a good position for a shot. Iron Maiden Football's supporters rose to their feet, but Hugo Eger was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Chico Răica breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. After the first half Esporte Clube Zeus were leading 1-5. They had played with great self confidence throughout the first half and fully deserved their lead.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Hugo Eger to make the kick off. In the 55th minute, Esporte Clube Zeus's Luan Campidelis dribbled the ball into the box and hit a shot with the outside of his foot, sending the keeper the wrong way. 1-6. After some fancy dribbling in the 59th minute, Claudio Caniggia managed to get in a good position for a shot. Esporte Clube Zeus's supporters rose to their feet, but Claudio Caniggia was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Cícero Teles breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. The audience thought a goal was coming when Luan Campidelis got free with Cícero Teles in the 60th minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort. In the 62nd minute Esporte Clube Zeus were awarded a corner. Claudio Caniggia went to the cornerflag to take it. It was a well-played corner which Rafa Moura managed to volley towards the net. Unfortunately, he didn't get a great hit on the ball and it went out into the grandstand. Luan Campidelis sent away a hard shot on goal in the 65th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. If Rafinha Tróia had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 70th minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. With a little luck, Iron Maiden Football's Cícero Teles got control of the ball when Luan Campidelis tried to sneak it across the goal line. 78 minutes into the match, Esporte Clube Zeus's Rafinha Tróia sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that Cícero Teles narrowly saved just below the crossbar. After 79 played minutes Esporte Clube Zeus got a freekick which was hit by Tales Saldanha. In the 82nd play minute Luan Campidelis came free and shot an unsuspected shot which went into goal from the right pole behind a surprised Cícero Teles. 1-8.

In the 95th minute, Esporte Clube Zeus's Luan Campidelis dribbled the ball into the box and hit a shot with the outside of his foot, sending the keeper the wrong way. 1-11.
