ARENA CAXINHA
Spectators: 40 (Terracing: 31, Seating: 9, VIP seats: 0) The mood of the audience was pleasant when Matías Tepedino made the kick off which started today's match. After some fancy dribbling in the 5th minute, Cristian Sancho managed to get in a good position for a shot. Ecuador's supporters rose to their feet, but Cristian Sancho was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Silvério Andrade breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. In the 12th minute, Celsinho Camargo hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. 14 minutes into the match, Cristian Sancho notched a goal, 0-1, to the right of Caxinha F. C.'s Silvério Andrade. Silvério Andrade was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. An unexpectedly hard shot by Cristian Sancho in the 16th minute of play forced Caxinha F. C.'s goalkeeper Silvério Andrade to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. In the 20th minute Daniel Zorita shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Silvério Andrade saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Silvério Andrade made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Daniel Zorita in the 23rd minute of play. 24 minutes had been played when some careless play by Caxinha F. C.'s defense caused the ball to cross the line for a corner. Daniel Zorita was slow to take the kick. During this time Ecuador's players had a chance to rest. Luis Andino made a great header on Ecuador's corner, it was just that Caxinha F. C.'s Silvério Andrade managed to reach the ball for a save. When the match clock showed 25 minutes, the score became 0-2 when Luis Andino sped through Caxinha F. C.'s defense and sent away a curving shot that went into the net to the right of Silvério Andrade. An unexpectedly hard shot by Daniel Zorita in the 28th minute of play forced Caxinha F. C.'s goalkeeper Silvério Andrade to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. If Daniel Zorita had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 30th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Luis Andino sent away a hard shot on goal in the 32nd minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. A collision led to Caxinha F. C. getting a freekick after 34 minutes play. Marcos Boldarini hit a great ball. Ecuador's Julio Vera proved his good apprehension of play when he, in the 39th minute of the match, managed to save Ecuador from getting a goal against them. The crowd rose to their feet as Caxinha F. C.'s Matías Tepedino slotted home a wonderful shot that went in to the left of Julio Vera. That made the score 1-2 after 45 minutes of play. Luck had favoured the away team in the first, and they walked off with a 1-2 lead.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Daniel Zorita to make the kick off. Geovânio Proença scored 2-2 in the 51st match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Julio Vera, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. The corner led Ecuador's Daniel Zorita to fire away a dangerous shot which Silvério Andrade despite some difficulties managed to get hold on the ball. After 66 played minutes Caxinha F. C. got a freekick which was hit by Jacobo Guillerme. After having played for 68 minutes, Cristian Sancho managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Ecuador's supporters crossed their fingers, but Cristian Sancho was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. After having played for 71 minutes, Matías Tepedino managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Caxinha F. C.'s supporters crossed their fingers, but Matías Tepedino was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. 73 minutes into the match, Ecuador's goal looked a bit too open when Su Yao Xiang came free, but Julio Vera reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Julio Vera made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Su Yao Xiang in the 73rd minute of play. An unexpectedly hard shot by Geovânio Proença in the 75th minute of play forced Ecuador's goalkeeper Julio Vera to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. With an all-out effort, Ecuador's Silvério Andrade threw himself towards the right post 76 minutes into the match and grabbed hold of the ball from Agustín Saelices, which otherwise would have been placed in the net. In the 78th minute Ecuador were awarded a corner. Daniel Zorita went to the cornerflag to take it. The corner ended in Felix Montes almost managing to get the ball behind the net, but Caxinha F. C.'s Silvério Andrade did a great save. Julio Vera showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Matías Tepedino in the 84th minute of the match. 92 minutes into the game, Jacobo Guillerme was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. Caxinha F. C.'s manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave Ecuador the free kick. Jacobo Guillerme hit a great freekick 92 minutes into the match. Ecuador were disappointed that they only managed a draw, even though they felt themselves to be the better team.
