He then quickly gripped the ball tighter before the forwards in União Andreense F.C reached it. Tadeu Gonçalves recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 12th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. If Tadeu Gonçalves had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 15th minute.
