After 85 played minutes, Amana's Alexsandro Porto shot from a long distance, and at first it looked like the ball was going into the goal, but the goalkeeper Cícero de Sousa came through and got his fingers on the ball before it flew over the goal line. He then quickly gripped the ball tighter before the forwards in Amana reached it. When Breno Alvarenga was, once again, overly rough in his play he received his second yellow card and was ordered off the ground. 88 minutes had been played.
