Tarrasque Voador F.C.'s supporters rose to their feet, but Horácio Félix was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Miguel Baptista breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. Pedro Toledo showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Amauri Massa, who was totally free with the ball in the 68th minute. 69 minutes into the game, Amauri Massa cracked a shot to the right of the goalkeeper, 1-1.
