ARENA DO TERROR
Spectators: 154 (Terracing: 116, Seating: 35, VIP seats: 3) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Arthur de Toledo took the kick off in the first half of the match. A collision led to TOCO Y ME VOY F.C. -DMZ- getting a freekick after 3 minutes play. Leopoldo Nunes hit a great ball. Thanks to some nice moves Nando das Neves could shoot a difficult shot in the 9th minute, which Benedito Bastos however easily saved by the left post. With 11 minutes on the clock, Fernando Toscano commited a dangerous tackle. The referee had no choice but to show him the red card. In the 12th minute, Fernando Toscano hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. After having played for 13 minutes, Nando das Neves managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. TOCO Y ME VOY F.C. -DMZ-'s supporters crossed their fingers, but Nando das Neves was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. Cleiton Queiroz kicked well hit freekick during the 14th minute of the match. Benedito Bastos showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Teodoro Varela in the 23rd minute of the match. If Reynaldo do Nascimento had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 27th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. 28 minutes into the match, Chicão Branco had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Yan Monteiro. TOCO Y ME VOY F.C. -DMZ-'s manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Chicão Branco was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 0-1. Yan Monteiro showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Arthur de Toledo, who was totally free with the ball in the 31st minute. After 38 minutes, Leopoldo Nunes mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the TOCO Y ME VOY F.C. -DMZ- and the G.E. Juventus FSCMZ players grew even worse after the yellow card. Adalberto Marinho scored 1-1 in the 40th match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Benedito Bastos, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. Nando das Neves could have scored with his fast shot on goal in the 47th minute of the match, but Benedito Bastos made a huge save. The score stood at 1-1 when the half time whistle went. Both sets of players seemed reasonably pleased with how the match was going.

Teodoro Varela might have been able to make a better finish in the 51st minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Benedito Bastos. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Teodoro Varela ran back to his position shaking his head. With a little luck, TOCO Y ME VOY F.C. -DMZ-'s Yan Monteiro got control of the ball when Reynaldo do Nascimento tried to sneak it across the goal line. The audience thought a goal was coming when Reynaldo do Nascimento got free with Yan Monteiro in the 55th minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort. When the match had gone on for 56 minutes, Reynaldo do Nascimento put it in 1-2 from a short distance just to the right of Yan Monteiro. After a rather tough play, G.E. Juventus FSCMZ's Ismael Secco got a free kick in the 58th minute. An unexpectedly hard shot by Teodoro Varela in the 60th minute of play forced G.E. Juventus FSCMZ's goalkeeper Benedito Bastos to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. After 68 played minutes, G.E. Juventus FSCMZ's Cleiton Queiroz shot from a long distance, and at first it looked like the ball was going into the goal, but the goalkeeper Yan Monteiro 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 G.E. Juventus FSCMZ reached it. Benedito Bastos showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Teodoro Varela, who was totally free with the ball in the 70th minute. 74 minutes into the match, Nando das Neves notched a goal, 2-2, to the right of G.E. Juventus FSCMZ's Benedito Bastos. Benedito Bastos was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. Benedito Bastos took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Teodoro Varela, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Arthur de Toledo recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 88th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. The crowd rose to their feet as G.E. Juventus FSCMZ's Arthur de Toledo slotted home a wonderful shot that went in to the left of Yan Monteiro. That made the score 2-3 after 90 minutes of play. In the 94th match minute, TOCO Y ME VOY F.C. -DMZ- was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Rafael Tepedino to maneuver through the defense. In the 95th minute Cleiton Queiroz shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Yan Monteiro saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. The G.E. Juventus FSCMZ players were relieved to hear the final whistle blow to end the match. The away crowd was happy to see their team win after a very tight game.
