League Play-Off

Jouquarinha
Spectators: 32 (Terracing: 25, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Leonardo de Amaral took the kick off in the first half of the match. If Leonardo de Amaral had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 3rd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. After 5 played minutes Rolas EC got a freekick which was hit by Diogo Vianna. Jouquarinha SS were awarded a corner in the 7th minute after Rolas EC's defender lost control of the ball, allowing it to roll out over the line. Eliseu Negri took the corner. The corner ended in Eliseu Negri almost managing to get the ball behind the net, but Rolas EC's Luiz de Senna did a great save. Leonardo de Amaral received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 15th minute. Walmyr Albuquerque tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. 19 minutes into the game, Zézinho Duarte cracked a shot to the right of the goalkeeper, 1-0. Luiz de Senna was not in position, and could only watch the ball fly in. Murillo Rosado had several of the Rolas EC's defenders around him in the penalty area when he, after 23 minutes of play, received a pass and succeeded in some way to shoot a shot which went straight ahead into goal. This resulted in a 2-0 score and a disappointed Luiz de Senna as he didn't even see the shot coming. Leonardo de Amaral fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 36th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Walmyr Albuquerque having to interfere. Leonardo de Amaral sent away a hard shot on goal in the 38th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Tomás Ferraz to make the kick off. Davi Novaes charged in rather forcefully in the 58th minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Davi Novaes the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. Luiz de Senna stood for a superb save when he managed to get hold of Zézinho Duarte's shot from short distance in the 61st minute. When Leonardo de Amaral came up free with the goalie in the 62nd minute, the Rolas EC 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 Leonardo de Amaral couldn't finish the play. Leonardo de Amaral struck a weak shot in the 63rd minute. Walmyr Albuquerque didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Rolas EC. After 66th play minutes Tomás Ferraz shot 4-0, a short shot which went by Luiz de Senna and just under the crossbar into goal. Thanks to some nice foot action and superb ball handling Leonardo de Amaral in the 70th minute a chance for a shot on goal. With an extended leg and a bit of luck Walmyr Albuquerque prevented the ball from getting in the gole. If Zézinho Duarte had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 75th minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. A collision led to Rolas EC getting a freekick after 78 minutes play. Davi Novaes hit a great ball. In the 80th minute, Tomás Ferraz got an opportunity to score, but he didn't get a solid hit on the ball and ended up kicking it wide of the goal. Jouquarinha SS's Walmyr Albuquerque proved his good apprehension of play when he, in the 93rd minute of the match, managed to save Jouquarinha SS from getting a goal against them. Ramón Sabóia sent away a hard shot on goal in the 94th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. When Rolas EC's Leonardo de Amaral in the 96th minute got a chance for a shot 96th didn't hesitate and placed the ball to the right of the goalie. A beautiful save bye Jouquarinha SS's goalie prevented a goal. Rolas EC's players left the field with heads hung low after losing a match that had been finely balanced throughout.
