League Play-Off

Estádio Rodeleiro
Spectators: 32 (Terracing: 25, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) The mood of the audience was pleasant when Adrianinho Soeiro made the kick off which started today's match. Valdir Rocha sent away a hard shot on goal in the 5th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Cristóvão Corrêa received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 19th minute. Régis Ceresso tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. If Valdir Rocha had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 20th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. When Yan Trancoso came up free with the goalie in the 23rd minute, the S.E Galo Vermelho 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 Yan Trancoso couldn't finish the play. Yan Trancoso took the ball and in the 27 minute, shot a rapid shot to the right of a surprised Mathias Pereira. Mathias Pereira dived to the right, and did manage to get a hand on the shot, but it still went into the right corner making it 0-1. 30 minutes into the match, S.E Galo Vermelho's goalkeeper Régis Ceresso had to clear away a ball on his right side after a cunning shot by Cristóvão Corrêa. The supporters of Rodeleiro EC booed when S.E Galo Vermelho was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 31 match minutes in a wonderful position. Telmo Paraíba didn't get a good kick on the ball. Cristóvão Corrêa received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 33rd minute. Régis Ceresso tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. The audience was convinced that Valdir Rocha's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Régis Ceresso was relentless in the 40th minute of the game. Valdir Rocha fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 41st minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Régis Ceresso having to interfere. 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.

The hometeam waved at the audience when it was time for Valdir Rocha to strike the kick off in the second half. Régis Ceresso took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Valdir Rocha, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Felipe Lopez hit a great freekick 57 minutes into the match. After having played for 67 minutes, Valdir Rocha managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Rodeleiro EC's supporters crossed their fingers, but Valdir Rocha was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. Régis Ceresso showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Umberto de Castro, who was totally free with the ball in the 79th minute. Mathias Pereira showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Adrianinho Soeiro, who was totally free with the ball in the 84th minute. With a little luck, Rodeleiro EC's Mathias Pereira got control of the ball when Yan Trancoso tried to sneak it across the goal line. 87 minutes into the match, S.E Galo Vermelho's goal looked a bit too open when Valdir Rocha came free, but Régis Ceresso reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. After a defensive mix-up in Rodeleiro EC's zone, Yan Trancoso stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Mathias Pereira came out of the goal and Yan Trancoso tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. After 90 minutes, Benedito Senna mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the S.E Galo Vermelho and the Rodeleiro EC players grew even worse after the yellow card. Régis Ceresso showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Cristóvão Corrêa in the 92nd minute of the match. Cristóvão Corrêa might have been able to make a better finish in the 95th minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Régis Ceresso. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Cristóvão Corrêa ran back to his position shaking his head. The S.E Galo Vermelho players were relieved to hear the final whistle blow to end the match. The away crowd was happy to see their team win after a very tight game.
