Scotland Arena
Spectators: 44 (Terracing: 34, Seating: 10, VIP seats: 0) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Zac O'Donnell started the match with the kick off. After 5 played minutes MARINUS MZC got a freekick which was hit by Marcos Pimenta. The referee was alert and spotted a serious foul by Pedrinho Zonta during the 8th minute. The player immediately received a yellow card. When Fletcher Main came up free with the goalie in the 14th minute, the Scotland 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 Fletcher Main couldn't finish the play. After 16 played minutes Scotland got a freekick which was hit by Jack MacKinnon. Alexander Higgins took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Marcos Pimenta, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Fletcher Main could have scored with his fast shot on goal in the 23rd minute of the match, but Abel Senna made a huge save. Alex Vianna kicked well hit freekick during the 23rd minute of the match. Daniel Munhoz kicked well hit freekick during the 24th minute of the match. Abel Senna was out of position in the 26 minute of play, and Zac O'Donnell capitalized on the mistake with a soft shot into the goal. Zac O'Donnell really showed his touch with that goal: 1-0. In the 31st minute the ball was on its way in behind Scotland's goalkeeper Alexander Higgins, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. In the 33rd minute Marcos Pimenta shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Alexander Higgins saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. After some careless play in the Scotland defense, Thiago Ortiz kicked a shot that curved into the net to the right of Alexander Higgins. The Scotland fans voiced their displeasure as they felt that Alexander Higgins should have stopped the shot. In the 41st match minute, MARINUS MZC was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Valdo Guimarães to maneuver through the defense. Robert McNeill received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 44th minute. Abel Senna tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. The first half was very even, with the score at 1-1 when the whistle went for half-time. The players welcomed the break and quickly retired to the dressing rooms.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Marcos Pimenta to make the kick off. 52 minutes into the match, Scotland's goal looked a bit too open when Thiago Ortiz came free, but Alexander Higgins reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Abel Senna took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Ashton Nelson, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. After 55 played minutes MARINUS MZC got a freekick which was hit by Alex Vianna. 57 minutes into the match, Zac O'Donnell notched a goal, 2-1, to the right of MARINUS MZC's Abel Senna. Abel Senna was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. In the 68th match minute, MARINUS MZC was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Pedrinho Zonta to maneuver through the defense. After 70 minutes of play, Scotland's Fletcher Main made it 3-1 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Abel Senna was left in no man's land by his defense there! Abel Senna came out of the goal in the 77th minute to try and stop a shot by Scotland's Fletcher Main. But to his dismay, Fletcher Main quickly shot the ball in between his legs and into the goal making it 4-1. Alexander Higgins came out of the goal in the 84th minute to try and stop a shot by MARINUS MZC's Thiago Ortiz. But to his dismay, Thiago Ortiz quickly shot the ball in between his legs and into the goal making it 4-2. Abel Senna showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Fletcher Main in the 90th minute of the match. If Zac O'Donnell had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 94th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. There was no doubt that Scotland were the better team. Scotland's players enjoyed the ovations of the crowd after the victory.
