Estádio Bicudo
Spectators: 34 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) The mood of the audience was pleasant when Geovanni Vale made the kick off which started today's match. If Vitinho Arósio had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 3rd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Abel Cordeiro sent away a hard shot on goal in the 4th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Geovanni Vale received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 7th minute. Fernandinho do Nascimento tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Rogério Abreu's late challenge caught a Carmona SS's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Rogério Abreu helped the player get up and apologised. Rogério Abreu hit a great freekick 10 minutes into the match. Fausto Eger was out of position in the 16 minute of play, and Faustão Linares capitalized on the mistake with a soft shot into the goal. Faustão Linares really showed his touch with that goal: 1-0. If Oscar Sá had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 22nd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Fernandinho do Nascimento stood for a superb save when he managed to get hold of Geovanni Vale's shot from short distance in the 25th minute. After a rather tough play, Carmona SS's Gerson Fernandes got a free kick in the 26th minute. Afonsinho de Barros, 27 minutes into the match, dribbled the ball up the side of the field and decided to take a long shot at the goal. Unfortunately, the ball was poorly hit and landed closer to the corner than to the goal. Zé Roberto Souza struck a weak shot in the 33rd minute. Fausto Eger didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Bicudo SC. If Oscar Sá had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 37th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead.

Carmona SS's Fausto Eger played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Zé Roberto Souza in the 63rd minute of play. Faustão Linares might have been able to make a better finish in the 65th minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Fausto Eger. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Faustão Linares ran back to his position shaking his head. Fausto Eger made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Faustão Linares in the 72nd minute of play. 78 minutes into the match, Faustão Linares had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Fausto Eger. Carmona SS's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Faustão Linares was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 2-1. Oscar Sá in the 83rdth minute had a little luck and got a chance for a shot in front of the goal. Without hesitation aimed to the right of Fernandinho do Nascimento, who managed to lunge to the right direction and made a save. Fernandinho do Nascimento showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Geovanni Valle, who was totally free with the ball in the 86th minute.
