League Play-Off

Chumichuga
Spectators: 33 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) Chumichuga's Anísio do Valle started the match with a crisp pass. The crowd had been anticipating this game for weeks and the excitement in the stadium was easily visible. Tiago dos Santos received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 4th minute. Sebastião Palmeira tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. With a little luck, Espacinha's Rubens Velasco got control of the ball when Rafa Barros tried to sneak it across the goal line. The audience thought a goal was coming when Matheus Carvalho got free with Rubens Velasco in the 16th minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort. Tiago dos Santos received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 18th minute. Sebastião Palmeira tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. After a defensive mix-up in Espacinha's zone, Rafa Barros stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Rubens Velasco came out of the goal and Rafa Barros tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. Jonathan Pimenta kicked well hit freekick during the 24th minute of the match. Anísio do Valle sent away a hard shot on goal in the 25th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. After 32 played minutes, Espacinha's Artur Valle shot from a long distance, and at first it looked like the ball was going into the goal, but the goalkeeper Sebastião Palmeira 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 Espacinha reached it. Jonathan Pimenta fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 40th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Sebastião Palmeira having to interfere.

Tiago dos Santos sent away a hard shot on goal in the 67th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Rafa Barros might have been able to make a better finish in the 73rd minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Rubens Velasco. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Rafa Barros ran back to his position shaking his head. When Rafa Barros came up free with the goalie in the 76th minute, the Chumichuga 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 Rafa Barros couldn't finish the play. If Anísio do Valle had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 78th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Rafa Barros struck a weak shot in the 86th minute. Rubens Velasco didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Chumichuga.
