Cururupu
Spectators: 32 (Terracing: 25, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Túlio Pitta took the kick off in the first half of the match. After some careless play in the Cumplice defense, Dráusio Antunes kicked a shot that curved into the net to the right of Sílvio Luís Torres. The Cumplice fans voiced their displeasure as they felt that Sílvio Luís Torres should have stopped the shot. After 6 played minutes Cururupu SS got a freekick which was hit by Lucas Tepedino. If Lúcio Simões had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 13th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. 14 minutes in the game Davi Guerra did a throw-in, and the ball was quickly in game thanks to Gernando Meireles. Sílvio Luís Torres showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Túlio Pitta, who was totally free with the ball in the 19th minute. Lúcio Simões kicked well hit freekick during the 20th minute of the match. If Dráusio Antunes had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 22nd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. The nice shot from Dráusio Antunes in the 31stth minute just in front of the goal should have ended in point on the board, but Sílvio Luís Torres had a great feel for the game and superbly saved the ball from getting in by the left post. Dráusio Antuness short, quick shot in the 31stth minute got Sílvio Luís Torres to make great effort and bar the ball away from getting in.

Sílvio Luís Torres made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Túlio Pitta in the 39th minute of play. When Dráusio Antunes came up free with the goalie in the 41st minute, the Cururupu SS 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 Dráusio Antunes couldn't finish the play. Cumplice's Sílvio Luís Torres proved his good apprehension of play when he, in the 46th minute of the match, managed to save Cumplice from getting a goal against them. All the noise was coming from the home fans when the whistle went for half-time. The home team had fought hardest to put themselves in a deserved lead.

The wind increased when Artur Leão made the kick off in the second half. After 51 minutes of play, Cumplice's Lúcio Simões made it 2-1 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Gualter Chaves was left in no man's land by his defense there! Artur Leão struck a weak shot in the 55th minute. Gualter Chaves didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Cumplice. After a defensive mix-up in Cururupu SS's zone, Artur Leão stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Gualter Chaves came out of the goal and Artur Leão tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. Gernando Meireles kicked well hit freekick during the 67th minute of the match. Sílvio Luís Torres took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Gernando Meireles, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. 73 minutes into the match, Túlio Pitta notched a goal, 3-1, to the right of Cumplice's Sílvio Luís Torres. Sílvio Luís Torres was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. Sílvio Luís Torres made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Dráusio Antunes in the 76th minute of play. With a little luck, Cururupu SS's Gualter Chaves got control of the ball when Jânio Hermes tried to sneak it across the goal line. 86 minutes into the match, Cumplice's goal looked a bit too open when Túlio Pitta came free, but Sílvio Luís Torres reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Davi Guerra's late challenge caught a Cumplice's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Davi Guerra helped the player get up and apologised. In the 90th minute, one of Cururupu SS:s players had the ball in front of the goal but got pushed and fell. The referee felt it was an obvious case and blew a penalty for Cururupu SS. Artur Leão placed the ball on the penalty spot and got himself ready to shoot. Post out!
