DUEC ARENA
Spectators: 40 (Terracing: 31, Seating: 9, VIP seats: 0) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Jonathan Alphonse kicked off to start the match. Philippe Ambroise recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 3rd minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. When Caio Motta fell near the penalty area in the 4th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Du Esporte Clube's protests and gave Caio Motta a yellow card for diving instead. If Philippe Ambroise had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 6th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. After 8 minutes of play, Du Esporte Clube's Kauã Alvarenga made it 1-0 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Noel Seide was left in no man's land by his defense there! In the 12th match minute, Haiti was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Jonathan Alphonse to maneuver through the defense. If Eusébio Monteiro had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 13th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. After 14 played minutes Haiti got a freekick which was hit by Jean Claude Ulysse. Noel Seide didn't succeed in stopping the ball in the 16th minute, which inside left pole to 2-0. In the 21st minute Kauã Alvarenga shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Noel Seide saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Eusébio Monteiro struck a weak shot in the 23rd minute. Noel Seide didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Du Esporte Clube. Noel Seide showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Kauã Alvarenga, who was totally free with the ball in the 28th minute. In the 29th minute of the game Caio Motta made a throw-in which Eliézer Rossi played forward. After 35 played minutes Haiti got a freekick which was hit by Saint Jean Pierre.

Noel Seide showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Alfredinho Teles in the 52nd minute of the match. 55 minutes into the match, Haiti's goal looked a bit too open when Kauã Alvarenga came free, but Noel Seide reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. 57 minutes into the game, Armando Tepedino threw the ball into play from the sideline. Haiti's Rodney Emmanuel quickly snatched the ball and retained possesion. Felix Dorval kicked well hit freekick during the 63rd minute of the match. A sloppy throw-in by Armando Tepedino in the 83rd minute of the game went astray and was snapped up by Haiti's Rodney Emmanuel. In the 84th minute of the match, Jonathan Alphonse got a very nice opportunity to score, but Valdomiro Simão was well-placed and pushed the ball away from the goal at the left post. Caio Motta got his second yellow card in the match during the 87th minute which meant that he had to leave the ground. The supporters of Haiti booed when Du Esporte Clube was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 87 match minutes in a wonderful position. Caio Motta didn't get a good kick on the ball. Alfredinho Teles made in the 90th minute of the game a sloppy throw-in which Luís Fabiano de Carvalho however managed to control. Noel Seide took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Kauã Alvarenga, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Alfredinho Teles made in the 94th minute of the game a throw-in that took a bad bounce and was taken care of by Haiti's Jean Marie Alcius.
