C. was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Cristiano Romero to maneuver through the defense.

Felippe Mineiro ran back to his position shaking his head. Mexilhão F. C.'s Marcelinho Matorin proved his good apprehension of play when he, in the 13th minute of the match, managed to save Mexilhão F. C. from getting a goal against them. 14 minutes into the match, Mexilhão F. C.'s goal looked a bit too open when Isaac Esdras came free, but Marcelinho Matorin reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. The supporters of Mexilhão F.

Reinaldo Penha was probably a little too eager to shoot when he, in the 26th played minute, shot the ball from way out. The shot was hard, but the ball flew wide of the goal.

After some careless play in the Mexilhão F. C. defense, Bonifacio Esdras kicked a shot that curved into the net to the right of Marcelinho Matorin. The Mexilhão F. C. fans voiced their displeasure as they felt that Marcelinho Matorin should have stopped the shot.
