Túlio Cruz ran back to his position shaking his head. After having played for 12 minutes, Sidney Pereira managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal.

A wasted opportunity for Canicura. 43 minutes into the match, Álvaro Souza had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Anderson de Amaral. Блацк Драгон ФЦ's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Álvaro Souza was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 2-1. When the referee blew for the end of the half the home team players were clearly happier, as they went in to the break leading 2-1.

When Túlio Cruz came up free with the goalie in the 65th minute, the Блацк Драгон ФЦ fans jumped to their feet.
