Estádio Caramuru
Spectators: 34 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) The mood of the audience was pleasant when Claudinho Toscano made the kick off which started today's match. André da Cunha's late challenge caught a Caramuru's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. André da Cunha helped the player get up and apologised. In the 7th minute, André da Cunha hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. If Frederick Windum had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 11th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. In the 12th minute, Luisinho Salgado hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Frederick Windum received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 15th minute. Joélson Messias tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Joélson Messias made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Frederick Windum in the 17th minute of play. After some fancy dribbling in the 22nd minute, Abel Arósio managed to get in a good position for a shot. Caramuru's supporters rose to their feet, but Abel Arósio was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Narciso Oliveira breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. 25 minutes into the match, Escola de Atletas do Azul's goalkeeper Narciso Oliveira had to clear away a ball on his right side after a cunning shot by Abel Arósio. In the 33rd minute, Abel Arósio made a precise shot to the right of Narciso Oliveira. Escola de Atletas do Azul's defense was at fault, and the scoreboard reflected the new score, 1-0. Abel Arósio fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 39th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Narciso Oliveira having to interfere. In the 45th minute, Caramuru's Abel Arósio dribbled the ball into the box and hit a shot with the outside of his foot, sending the keeper the wrong way. 2-0.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Frederick Windum to make the kick off. Mateusz Chuchro sent away a hard shot on goal in the 58th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. In the 63rd minute, Claudinho Toscano 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. Caramuru's Joélson Messias played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Frederick Windum in the 68th minute of play. In the 71st minute, Claudinho Toscano 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. After a defensive mix-up in Caramuru's zone, William de Sena stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Joélson Messias came out of the goal and William de Sena tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. Mateusz Chuchro struck a weak shot in the 79th minute. Joélson Messias didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Escola de Atletas do Azul. Narciso Oliveira showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Claudinho Toscano in the 82nd minute of the match. Kléberson Alvarenga received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 85th minute. Narciso Oliveira tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Narciso Oliveira showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Kléberson Alvarenga, who was totally free with the ball in the 91st minute. The audience was convinced that Kléberson Alvarenga's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Narciso Oliveira was relentless in the 91st minute of the game. After some fancy dribbling in the 94th minute, Mateusz Chuchro managed to get in a good position for a shot. Escola de Atletas do Azul's supporters rose to their feet, but Mateusz Chuchro was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Joélson Messias breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. Escola de Atletas do Azul's players left the field with heads hung low after losing a match that had been finely balanced throughout.
