Altar of Sacrifice
Spectators: 161 (Terracing: 121, Seating: 37, VIP seats: 3) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Ronaldão Vinhas started the match with the kick off. In the 7th minute of the match Bernardinho Peres shot from a long distance. The ball could have gone into the goal to the right of the goalkeeper, but Albertinho Mattos showed his good shape when he easily got hold of the ball. After 10 minutes of play, Raining Blood's Gualter Secco made it 1-0 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Luís Gustavo Bueno was left in no man's land by his defense there! The supporters of SE Tijolo 6 Furos booed when Raining Blood was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 12 match minutes in a wonderful position. Laércio Andrade didn't get a good kick on the ball. In the 13th minute of the match Bernardinho Peres shot from a long distance. The ball could have gone into the goal to the right of the goalkeeper, but Albertinho Mattos showed his good shape when he easily got hold of the ball. Ulisses Siqueira hit a great freekick 19 minutes into the match. The audience thought a goal was coming when Gualter Secco got free with Luís Gustavo Bueno in the 27th minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort. An unexpectedly hard shot by Ulisses Siqueira in the 28th minute of play forced Raining Blood's goalkeeper Albertinho Mattos to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Laércio Andrade charged in rather forcefully in the 31st minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Laércio Andrade the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. After 31 played minutes Raining Blood got a freekick which was hit by Laércio Andrade. After 32 played minutes, SE Tijolo 6 Furos's Bernardinho Peres shot from a long distance, and at first it looked like the ball was going into the goal, but the goalkeeper Albertinho Mattos 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 SE Tijolo 6 Furos reached it. Gualter Secco could have scored with his fast shot on goal in the 34th minute of the match, but Luís Gustavo Bueno made a huge save. After a defensive mix-up in SE Tijolo 6 Furos's zone, Gualter Secco stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Luís Gustavo Bueno came out of the goal and Gualter Secco tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. SE Tijolo 6 Furos's Ulisses Siqueira got a good chance for a goal in the 41st minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. When the match had gone on for 44 minutes, Gualter Secco took a quick shot and it went in 2-0 without a chance for Luís Gustavo Bueno to make any attempt to save it. No-one was surprised that the home team were leading 2-0 at half-time.

The hometeam waved at the audience when it was time for Gualter Secco to strike the kick off in the second half. Matheus Mesquita scored 3-0 in the 52nd match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Luís Gustavo Bueno, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. Luís Gustavo Bueno made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Luís Eduardo Leão in the 62nd minute of play. After some fancy dribbling in the 63rd minute, Elias Sarmento managed to get in a good position for a shot. SE Tijolo 6 Furos's supporters rose to their feet, but Elias Sarmento was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Albertinho Mattos breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. A collision led to SE Tijolo 6 Furos getting a freekick after 64 minutes play. Elivélton Vergílio hit a great ball. Raining Blood made a substitution. Remo Magalhães replaced Matheus Mesquita. In the 65th minute, Elivélton Vergílio hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Gualter Secco sent away a hard shot on goal in the 69th minute, but the ball hit the crossbar and went out. A very good chance for a goal. Ronaldão Vinhas had several of the Raining Blood's defenders around him in the penalty area when he, after 72 minutes of play, received a pass and succeeded in some way to shoot a shot which went straight ahead into goal. This resulted in a 3-1 score and a disappointed Albertinho Mattos as he didn't even see the shot coming. In the 82nd minute of the match, Ronaldão Vinhas got a very nice opportunity to score, but Albertinho Mattos was well-placed and pushed the ball away from the goal at the left post. In the 89th minute Gil Figueiredo shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Luís Gustavo Bueno saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Ronaldão Vinhas charged in rather forcefully in the 91st minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Ronaldão Vinhas the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. Raining Blood walked away with a well-earned victory that was much celebrated by the crowd.
