Fernando Henrique took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Diogo Eger, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side.

After 96 played minutes, Valentina SC's Luís Fábio Damião shot from a long distance, and at first it looked like the ball was going into the goal, but the goalkeeper Joélson Perez came through and got his fingers on the ball before it flew over the goal line.

The referee blew the final whistle, and the away crowd roared, having watched Valentina SC eke out a victory against a very well matched opponent.
