League Play-Off

Estádio Massacara
Spectators: 34 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Oscar Rocha started the match with the kick off. Paulo José Vidal struck a weak shot in the 3rd minute. Jorginho Martins didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Massacara. If Hamílton Souza had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 7th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Anselmo Veiga received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 12th minute. Jorginho Martins tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Hamílton Souza hit a great freekick 14 minutes into the match. An unexpectedly hard shot by Oscar Rocha in the 17th minute of play forced Massacara's goalkeeper Roger Velasco to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Paulo José Vidal sent away a hard shot on goal in the 22nd minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. The supporters of Massacara booed when Ermo was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 23 match minutes in a wonderful position. Willian Valle didn't get a good kick on the ball. When Marquinhos Sena came up free with the goalie in the 24th minute, the Massacara fans jumped to their feet. But the shot missed the goal by a fraction of an inch, and the fans sat back down disappointed that Marquinhos Sena couldn't finish the play. After 25 minutes, Paulo José Vidal mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Massacara and the Ermo players grew even worse after the yellow card. In the 26th minute, Paulo José Vidal hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. After 36 played minutes Massacara got a freekick which was hit by Hamílton Souza. Roger Velasco showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Sydney Soeiro, who was totally free with the ball in the 42nd minute. Roger Velasco took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Sydney Soeiro, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. When the referee blew for the end of the half the home team players were clearly happier, as they went in to the break leading 1-0.

When the second half was about to start, both teams quickly lined up and Anselmo Veiga made a kick off. Sydney Soeiro struck a weak shot in the 53rd minute. Roger Velasco didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Ermo. Alfredo Breckenfeld charged in rather forcefully in the 60th minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Alfredo Breckenfeld the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. Alfredo Breckenfeld kicked well hit freekick during the 60th minute of the match. Anselmo Veiga received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 68th minute. Jorginho Martins tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Massacara's Roger Velasco proved his good apprehension of play when he, in the 71st minute of the match, managed to save Massacara from getting a goal against them. Silvério Quaresma's late challenge caught a Ermo's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Silvério Quaresma helped the player get up and apologised. After a rather tough play, Massacara's Silvério Quaresma got a free kick in the 82nd minute. Oscar Rocha struck a weak shot in the 84th minute. Roger Velasco didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Ermo. Sydney Soeiro scored 1-2 in the 92nd match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Roger Velasco, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot.
