Nova Colina
Spectators: 32 (Terracing: 25, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) The sun was shining, the grass was green and the audience cheered when Noel Pitta got the match started through his kick off. After having played for 9 minutes, Enrique Bueno managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Nova Colina's supporters crossed their fingers, but Enrique Bueno was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. The audience was convinced that Leandro Dantas's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Cícero Capixaba was relentless in the 18th minute of the game.

Enrique Bueno sent away a hard shot on goal in the 24th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance.

Cícero Capixaba made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Leandro Dantas in the 34th minute of play.
