The audience thought a goal was coming when Cristiano Moreira got free with Aírton Vander in the 7th minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort.

In the 41st minute Amílton Massa shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Aírton Vander saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line.
