League Play-Off

Arambare
Spectators: 32 (Terracing: 25, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) The sun was shining, the grass was green and the audience cheered when Geovânio Monteiro got the match started through his kick off. Geovânio Souza showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Victor Simões, who was totally free with the ball in the 3rd minute. After 5 minutes, Régis Fantini mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Arambare and the Curite SC players grew even worse after the yellow card. In the 5th minute, Régis Fantini hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. The audience was convinced that Tostão Paulista's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Ademar Brodel was relentless in the 13th minute of the game. Victor Simões sent away a hard shot on goal in the 17th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Victor Simões blasted a shot towards the goal in the 28th minute, but the shot hit the top of the crossbar and went out without Geovânio Souza having to make a save. The supporters of Arambare booed when Curite SC was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 32 match minutes in a wonderful position. Giuseppe Cunha didn't get a good kick on the ball. Geovânio Monteiro struck a weak shot in the 33rd minute. Geovânio Souza didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Arambare. Geovânio Monteiro fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 36th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Geovânio Souza having to interfere. A collision led to Curite SC getting a freekick after 39 minutes play. Jorge Quirino hit a great ball. The score stood at 0-0 when the half time whistle went.

A very good chance. 55 minutes into the match, Geovânio Monteiro notched a goal, 1-0, to the right of Curite SC's Geovânio Souza. Geovânio Souza was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. After 61 minutes of play, the referee blew the whistle. It was a penalty for Arambare!

An unexpected shot in the 72nd minute by Adolfo Gomes got the crowd on their feet, but to their dismay it went out on the left side.
