In the 76th minute, Franklin do Valle hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field.

After having played for 79 minutes, Isaltino Lara managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Flexal's supporters crossed their fingers, but Isaltino Lara was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. If Gilson Linhares had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 84th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Nestor da Silva scored 0-1 in the 89th match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Emerson Borges, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. Flexal played a much better game than TORRE FORTE and deserved their victory. The TORRE FORTE players were clearly disappointed as they left the ground.
