League Play-Off

Corityba
Spectators: 32 (Terracing: 25, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) The mood of the audience was pleasant when Maurinho Lopes made the kick off which started today's match. The attack was good, but when Tales Félix in the 8th minute was about to shoot he didn't kick quite good enough and the ball went high over goal. If Mário Seco had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 10th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. In the 30th minute, Raúl Lima 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. The supporters of Curite booed when Corityba SS was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 32 match minutes in a wonderful position. Remo Gomes didn't get a good kick on the ball. Hélio Seco's late challenge caught a Corityba SS's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Hélio Seco helped the player get up and apologised. A collision led to Curite getting a freekick after 34 minutes play. Hélio Seco hit a great ball. Mário Seco received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 37th minute. Chico Senna tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Corityba SS's Chico Senna played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Tales Félix in the 41st minute of play. 42 minutes into the match, Mário Seco had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Chico Senna. Corityba SS's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Mário Seco was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 0-2. Even after changing tactics the home team jogged off the field with a 0-2 deficit. They would have to work harder if they wanted to turn things around in the second half.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Mário Seco to make the kick off. Tales Félix's shot straight on target was not completely harmless. The ball had pretty good speed, but Chico Senna firmly grabbed it by the left post. Raúl Lima sent away a hard shot on goal in the 59th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Mário Seco received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 61st minute. Chico Senna tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. The referee was alert and spotted a serious foul by Chicão Nogueira during the 69th minute. The player immediately received a yellow card. The supporters of Curite booed when Corityba SS was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 69 match minutes in a wonderful position. Chicão Nogueira didn't get a good kick on the ball. Tales Félix could have scored with his fast shot on goal in the 71st minute of the match, but Chico Senna made a huge save. Raúl Lima fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 96th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Luiz Guilherme Soares having to interfere.
