League Play-Off

Sapucai
Spectators: 32 (Terracing: 25, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Nelson Ortiz kicked off to start the match. The supporters of R1ckz1nhos booed when Sapucai was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 3 match minutes in a wonderful position. Anderson Schmidt didn't get a good kick on the ball. Jonathan Falcão showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Vítor Pontes, who was totally free with the ball in the 6th minute. After a defensive mix-up in Sapucai's zone, Nelson Ortiz stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Amadeu Senna came out of the goal and Nelson Ortiz tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. Jailson Xavier sent away a hard shot on goal in the 13th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Amadeu Senna stood for a superb save when he managed to get hold of Jailson Xavier's shot from short distance in the 16th minute. Marcinho Furtado kicked well hit freekick during the 19th minute of the match. Geovânio Freitas kicked well hit freekick during the 23rd minute of the match. After 28 played minutes R1ckz1nhos got a freekick which was hit by Amílton de Lima. Fernandinho Moreno was probably a little too eager to shoot when he, in the 29th played minute, shot the ball from way out. The shot was hard, but the ball flew wide of the goal. Vítor Pontes sent away a hard shot on goal in the 31st minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. When Anderson Schmidt came up free with the goalie in the 34th minute, the Sapucai 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 Anderson Schmidt couldn't finish the play. A collision led to R1ckz1nhos getting a freekick after 38 minutes play. Caco Cavalcante hit a great ball.

Jonathan Falcão took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Vítor Pontes, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. After a defensive mix-up in R1ckz1nhos's zone, Vítor Pontes stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Jonathan Falcão came out of the goal and Vítor Pontes tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. Anderson Schmidt fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 55th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Jonathan Falcão having to interfere. With a couple of smart ball manuevers Vítor Pontes in the 60th managed to get into a good position. With a left leg Jonathan Falcão saved R1ckz1nhos from getting behind. If Vítor Pontes had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 61st minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. In the 63rd minute, Anderson Schmidt left the goalkeeper for dead before tapping the ball into the right side of the net. The Sapucai fans were clearly happy with the effort and the scoreboard reflected the new score: 1-0. An unexpectedly hard shot by Vítor Pontes in the 80th minute of play forced R1ckz1nhos's goalkeeper Jonathan Falcão to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. In the 82nd match minute, R1ckz1nhos was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Amílton de Lima to maneuver through the defense. Fernandinho Moreno might have been able to make a better finish in the 83rd minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Jonathan Falcão. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Fernandinho Moreno ran back to his position shaking his head. 86 minutes into the match, R1ckz1nhos's goal looked a bit too open when Vítor Pontes came free, but Jonathan Falcão reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Vítor Pontes recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 94th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal.
