Vodkinha FC's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Antônio Mesquita was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 2-6. Hudson Paes was really disappointed when he shot the ball just outside the right post instead of scoring a goal in the 94th minute. Vodkinha FC's manager could be seen on the sidelines shaking his head and muttering to himself as his team had just wasted another chance. Vodkinha FC's fans were overjoyed with their teams well-earned victory and stayed in the stadium long after the final whistle to celebrate the win.
