Lontra
Spectators: 33 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Válter Lago started the match with the kick off. Paulo Renato Breckenfeld kicked well hit freekick during the 5th minute of the match. In the 6th minute, Paulinho Senna fired a really elegant long shot, but Gernando de Toledo threw himself and managed to get hold of the ball just in front of the right post. Válter Lago sent away a hard shot on goal in the 9th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance.

But the shot missed the goal by a fraction of an inch, and the fans sat back down disappointed that Nicolas Jacinto couldn't finish the play.
