League Play-Off

Fetoria
Spectators: 32 (Terracing: 25, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) In the 16th minute Fábio Nogueira shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but João Vítor Corrêa saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Edgard Abreu did some fancy footwork in front of goal and succeeded to deceive the defenders so he could slam the ball in 1-1 to the left of a surprised Walmir Silva 17 minutes into the match. The audience thought a goal was coming when Edgard Abreu got free with Walmir Silva in the 24th minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort. The audience was convinced that Fábio Nogueira's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but João Vítor Corrêa was relentless in the 29th minute of the game. Jardel de Brito charged in rather forcefully in the 31st minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Jardel de Brito the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. A collision led to Mangueira getting a freekick after 31 minutes play. Jardel de Brito hit a great ball. After a rather tough play, Mangueira's Zé Paulo de Godoy got a free kick in the 32nd minute. When Dionísio Ceresso fell near the penalty area in the 33rd minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Mangueira's protests and gave Dionísio Ceresso a yellow card for diving instead. 35 minutes in the game, the ball went up into the seats when Fetoria's Edgard Abreu fired away a shot that was just a little bit too high. He walked away shaking his head. If Edgard Abreu had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 40th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. The first half was very even, with the score at 1-1 when the whistle went for half-time. The players welcomed the break and quickly retired to the dressing rooms.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Adelino dos Santos to make the kick off. After some careless play in the Fetoria defense, Fábio Nogueira kicked a shot that curved into the net to the right of João Vítor Corrêa. The Fetoria fans voiced their displeasure as they felt that João Vítor Corrêa should have stopped the shot. Zé Paulo de Godoy struck a weak shot in the 64th minute. João Vítor Corrêa didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Mangueira. The supporters of Fetoria booed when Mangueira was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 71 match minutes in a wonderful position. Jardel de Brito didn't get a good kick on the ball. 71 minutes into the match, Fetoria's Tostão Cabral broke free and took a long shot that unfortunately flew wide. A fine initiative that could have resulted in a goal. The attack was good, but when Adelino dos Santos in the 73rd minute was about to shoot he didn't kick quite good enough and the ball went high over goal. 76 minutes into the match, Mangueira's goal looked a bit too open when Edgard Abreu came free, but Walmir Silva reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. 78 minutes into the game, Fetoria's Adelino dos Santos nearly tore a hole in the net with a booming shot. Walmir Silva made a valiant effort, but he could not reach the ball in time, 2-2. 84 minutes into the match, Fetoria's goalkeeper João Vítor Corrêa had to clear away a ball on his right side after a cunning shot by Fábio Nogueira. After 86 minutes, Inácio de Medeiros mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Fetoria and the Mangueira players grew even worse after the yellow card. Inácio de Medeiros hit a great freekick 86 minutes into the match. 87 minutes into the match, Mangueira's Gil de Sena broke free and took a long shot that unfortunately flew wide. A fine initiative that could have resulted in a goal. After 91 played minutes, Fetoria's Edu Damião shot from a long distance, and at first it looked like the ball was going into the goal, but the goalkeeper Walmir Silva came through and got his fingers on the ball before it flew over the goal line. He then quickly gripped the ball tighter before the forwards in Fetoria reached it. Neither set of supporters seemed pleased with the draw, but both teams had played equally well today.
