League Play-Off

CALDEIRÃ VIZZILLATTO
Spectators: 33 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) The sun was shining, the grass was green and the audience cheered when Falcão Magalhães got the match started through his kick off. When Emirşah Sökmen came up free with the goalie in the 5th minute, the AND-VASCOWD 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 Emirşah Sökmen couldn't finish the play. Jeremias Novaes fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 7th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Hermínio França having to interfere. After having played for 9 minutes, Emirşah Sökmen managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. AND-VASCOWD's supporters crossed their fingers, but Emirşah Sökmen was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. If Falcão Magalhães had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 12th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Remo Oliveira received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 20th minute. Elivélton Perez tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. In the 23rd minute Hermínio Chaves shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Elivélton Perez saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. In the 24th match minute, AND-VASCOWD was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Leonid Belyavskiy to maneuver through the defense. 30 minutes into the match, Ilicinea's goalkeeper Hermínio França had to clear away a ball on his right side after a cunning shot by Falcão Magalhães. Jeremias Novaes hit a great freekick 31 minutes into the match. After a rather tough play, AND-VASCOWD's Ricardo de Lara got a free kick in the 35th minute. Elivélton Perez showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Felippe Correia, who was totally free with the ball in the 43rd minute. The score stood at 0-0 when the half time whistle went. Both sets of players seemed reasonably pleased with how the match was going.

The hometeam waved at the audience when it was time for Remo Oliveira to strike the kick off in the second half. 52 minutes into the game, Mauro Arce was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. Ilicinea's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave AND-VASCOWD the free kick. After some fancy dribbling in the 61st minute, Jeremias Novaes managed to get in a good position for a shot. AND-VASCOWD's supporters rose to their feet, but Jeremias Novaes was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Hermínio França breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. In the 65th minute Jeremias Novaes shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Hermínio França saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Emirşah Sökmen struck a weak shot in the 67th minute. Hermínio França didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for AND-VASCOWD. In the 72nd match minute, Ilicinea was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Jarbas Furtado to maneuver through the defense. After 74 played minutes, AND-VASCOWD's Falcão Magalhães shot from a long distance, and at first it looked like the ball was going into the goal, but the goalkeeper Hermínio França 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 AND-VASCOWD reached it. In the 77th minute Jeremias Novaes shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Hermínio França saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Jeremias Novaes fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 81st minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Hermínio França having to interfere. The audience was convinced that Falcão Magalhães's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Hermínio França was relentless in the 85th minute of the game. After a rather tough play, AND-VASCOWD's Ciro Neiva got a free kick in the 87th minute. The long shot by Jarbas Furtado in the 88th minute really tested Elivélton Perez's skills. The ball was on its way into the goal to the left of him when he managed to stretch himself and save the shot and avoid a goal. AND-VASCOWD's Emirşah Sökmen got a good chance for a goal in the 93rd minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. AND-VASCOWD's fans were exulted and cheered after their team won in a match that could easily have gone the other way.
