League Play-Off

Estádio Meier
Spectators: 32 (Terracing: 25, 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. Breno Paranaense started the match with the kick off. After having played for 8 minutes, Breno Paranaense managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Meier SC's supporters crossed their fingers, but Breno Paranaense was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. The audience thought a goal was coming when Cipriano Alvarenga got free with Rafa Moraes in the 10th minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort. If Dito Souza had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 13th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Jardel Gerber made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from João Vítor Pontes in the 17th minute of play. After 20 played minutes Comandante AD got a freekick which was hit by Percy Linares.

Meier SC's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Dito Souza was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 1-1. Cipriano Alvarenga's shot straight on target was not completely harmless. The ball had pretty good speed, but Rafa Moraes firmly grabbed it by the left post. Jardel Gerber made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Dito Souza in the 39th minute of play. Jardel Gerber showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Dito Souza in the 43rd minute of the match.

João Vítor Pontes struck a weak shot in the 48th minute. Jardel Gerber didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Comandante AD.
