Spectators: 6876 (Terracing: 5200, Seating: 1666, VIP seats: 10) The mood of the audience was pleasant when Chiquinho Travassos made the kick off which started today's match. Arí Abreu didn't have a chance when a screaming shot from Claudinho Reis went, in the 4th minute, to the upper right corner, 0-1 was the resulting score. Elano Barbosa scored 0-2 in the 10th match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Arí Abreu, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. If Chiquinho Travassos had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 19th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. After 24 minutes of play, Zeus Esporte Clube's Leonel Teixeira made it 1-2 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Kauan Martins was left in no man's land by his defense there! Tomé Meirelles's late challenge caught a Zeus Esporte Clube's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Tomé Meirelles helped the player get up and apologised. Tomé Meirelles kicked well hit freekick during the 29th minute of the match. Michel Lucas sent away a hard shot on goal in the 35th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. After a defensive mix-up in Zeus Esporte Clube's zone, Elano Barbosa stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Arí Abreu came out of the goal and Elano Barbosa tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. Abelardo Brito kicked well hit freekick during the 44th minute of the match. In the 45th minute, Elano Barbosa got an opportunity to score, but he didn't get a solid hit on the ball and ended up kicking it wide of the goal. Luck had favoured the away team in the first, and they walked off with a 1-2 lead.

A hard shot 52 in the game by Elano Barbosa from a close distance when the talented Arí Abreu managed to make a qualified save. Zeus Esporte Clube's players were relieved. In the 54th minute, Umberto Valladares left the goalkeeper for dead before tapping the ball into the right side of the net. The ▓►Ά₤ỤŁẲØ◄▓ fans were clearly happy with the effort and the scoreboard reflected the new score: 1-3. Arí Abreu showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Elano Barbosa, who was totally free with the ball in the 57th minute. Chiquinho Travassos fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 61st minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Kauan Martins having to interfere. 64 minutes into the match, Zeus Esporte Clube's goal looked a bit too open when Zeti da Rocha came free, but Arí Abreu reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. If Michel Lucas had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 66th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Elano Barbosa could have scored with his fast shot on goal in the 82nd minute of the match, but Arí Abreu made a huge save. Michel Lucas might have been able to make a better finish in the 84th minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Arí Abreu. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Michel Lucas ran back to his position shaking his head. When Elano Barbosa came up free with the goalie in the 85th minute, the ▓►Ά₤ỤŁẲØ◄▓ 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 Elano Barbosa couldn't finish the play. After some fancy dribbling in the 92nd minute, Chiquinho Travassos managed to get in a good position for a shot. Zeus Esporte Clube's supporters rose to their feet, but Chiquinho Travassos was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Kauan Martins breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. Arí Abreu took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Tomé Meirelles, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Elano Barbosa struck a weak shot in the 97th minute. Arí Abreu didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for ▓►Ά₤ỤŁẲØ◄▓. When the match was over ▓►Ά₤ỤŁẲØ◄▓ could go home with a victory in their luggage, having controlled the game far better than Zeus Esporte Clube throughout the match.
