小卒的后花园
Spectators: 7530 (Terracing: 5649, Seating: 1731, VIP seats: 150) The mood of the audience was pleasant when Walmyr Proença made the kick off which started today's match. After a rather tough play, ≮王者归来≯无名小卒's 袁云超 got a free kick in the 12th minute. With a couple of smart ball manuevers Walmyr Proença in the 13th managed to get into a good position. With a left leg 莫挺洲 saved ≮王者归来≯无名小卒 from getting behind. A collision led to Reko-Recko 03™ getting a freekick after 14 minutes play. Gal Van hit a great ball. After some careless play in the ≮王者归来≯无名小卒 defense, Tostão Arruda kicked a shot that curved into the net to the right of 莫挺洲. The ≮王者归来≯无名小卒 fans voiced their displeasure as they felt that 莫挺洲 should have stopped the shot. Haroldo de Sena made a fantastic save in the 33rd minute, when 徐夕城 sent off a good shot on target. Walmyr Proença sent away a hard shot on goal in the 35th minute, but the ball hit the crossbar and went out. A very good chance for a goal. If Paulinho Chaves had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 40th minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. 莫挺洲 made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Eliézer Cerezo in the 44th minute of play. After a very even first half the match was still tied. The players went to their respective dressing rooms to discuss the tactics for the second half.

The players of the away team seemed most concentrated when 徐夕城 stepped up to make the kick off in the second half. In the 51st minute, 徐夕城 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. Paulinho Chaves's late challenge caught a ≮王者归来≯无名小卒's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Paulinho Chaves helped the player get up and apologised. Hortêncio Rosa charged in rather forcefully in the 58th minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Hortêncio Rosa the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. A collision led to Reko-Recko 03™ getting a freekick after 58 minutes play. Hortêncio Rosa hit a great ball. An unexpectedly hard shot by 徐夕城 in the 74th minute of play forced Reko-Recko 03™'s goalkeeper Haroldo de Sena to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. After some fancy dribbling in the 79th minute, 徐夕城 managed to get in a good position for a shot. ≮王者归来≯无名小卒's supporters rose to their feet, but 徐夕城 was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Haroldo de Sena breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. 邓誉海 fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 84th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Haroldo de Sena having to interfere. 86 minutes into the game, Vavá Recko was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. Reko-Recko 03™'s manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave ≮王者归来≯无名小卒 the free kick. In the 86th minute, Vavá Recko hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. An unexpectedly hard shot by Walmyr Proença in the 88th minute of play forced ≮王者归来≯无名小卒's goalkeeper 莫挺洲 to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. The Reko-Recko 03™ players were the happier at the end of the match as they had prevented ≮王者归来≯无名小卒 from taking control. The game ends in a draw.
