A TOCA DOS MANO
Spectators: 34 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Adelino França took the kick off in the first half of the match. In the 6th minute the ball was on its way in behind LOS HERMANOS's goalkeeper Didi Leal, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. An unexpectedly hard shot by Serginho Romero in the 7th minute of play forced Dantas's goalkeeper Yuri Donato to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. After some fancy dribbling in the 13th minute, Fellipe Quintal managed to get in a good position for a shot.
