In the 67th minute the ball was on its way in behind CR Ryzers's goalkeeper Geovanni Veloso, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. Celso Borges's shot was meant for the net just under the crossbar, but Geovanni Veloso read the situation well and was quickly in position to make a wonderful save in the 70th minute of play.

Celso Borges scored 2-4 in the 86th match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Geovanni Veloso, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. After some fancy dribbling in the 95th minute, José Paulo Branco managed to get in a good position for a shot. Ariau's supporters rose to their feet, but José Paulo Branco was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Geovanni Veloso breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. When the match was over Ariau could go home with a victory in their luggage, having controlled the game far better than CR Ryzers throughout the match.
