Barriero
Spectators: 32 (Terracing: 25, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Giovani Barbosa took the kick off in the first half of the match. Giovani Barbosa received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 4th minute. Guilherme Pimenta tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Claudinho Meireles recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 7th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. Vitório Duarte hit a great freekick 8 minutes into the match. Abel do Vale sent away a hard shot on goal in the 10th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Mathias de Queirós could have scored with his fast shot on goal in the 13th minute of the match, but Guilherme Pimenta made a huge save. In the 13th minute, Filipe Monteiro hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. In the 14th minute, Mathias de Queirós 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. Thanks to some nice foot action and superb ball handling Claudinho Meireles in the 16th minute a chance for a shot on goal. With an extended leg and a bit of luck Lucas Porto prevented the ball from getting in the gole. In the 20th match minute, Barriero was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Geovanni Penha to maneuver through the defense. Samuca Sabóia was probably a little too eager to shoot when he, in the 20th played minute, shot the ball from way out. The shot was hard, but the ball flew wide of the goal. When Giovani Barbosa came up free with the goalie in the 25th minute, the Barriero 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 Giovani Barbosa couldn't finish the play. Mathias de Queirós sent away a hard shot on goal in the 26th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Mathias de Queiróss short, quick shot in the 29thth minute got Guilherme Pimenta to make great effort and bar the ball away from getting in. A collision led to Mutambo getting a freekick after 30 minutes play. Chiquinho Trigo hit a great ball. Lucas Porto stood for a superb save when he managed to get hold of Abel do Vale's shot from short distance in the 45th minute. After a rather tough play, Barriero's Anderson Senna got a free kick in the 46th minute. Luck had favoured the away team in the first, and they walked off with a 0-1 lead.

The wind increased when Claudinho Meireles made the kick off in the second half. 55 minutes into the match, Giovani Barbosa notched a goal, 1-1, to the right of Mutambo's Guilherme Pimenta. Guilherme Pimenta was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. Vitório Duarte charged in rather forcefully in the 57th minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Vitório Duarte the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. After 57 played minutes Barriero got a freekick which was hit by Vitório Duarte. In the 61st minute, Mutambo's Filipe Monteiro ran free of his marker and smoothly shot the ball into the goal behind Lucas Porto. Lucas Porto yelled at his defense, as they had left him out to dry. 1-2. An unexpectedly hard shot by Claudinho Meireles in the 75th minute of play forced Barriero's goalkeeper Lucas Porto to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Guilherme Pimenta took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Mathias de Queirós, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. When the match had gone on for 79 minutes, Claudinho Meireles put it in 1-4 from a short distance just to the right of Lucas Porto. If Abel do Vale had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 82nd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Lucas Porto made a fantastic save in the 85th minute, when Abel do Vale sent off a good shot on target. 91 minutes into the match, Mathias de Queirós had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Guilherme Pimenta. Mutambo's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Mathias de Queirós was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 3-4. The Mutambo supporters could be heard counting down the last seconds of the match. They errupted in celebration when the whistle blew, knowing Mutambo would go home with victory in their luggage after a match that easily could have ended differently.
