The players of the away team seemed most concentrated when Jo Calleri stepped up to make the kick off in the second half. 60 minutes into the match, Jo Calleri had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Dalmo Sergipano.

Without hesitation aimed to the right of Dalmo Sergipano, who managed to lunge to the right direction and made a save. The referee was alert and spotted a serious foul by Narciso Hoffmann during the 86th minute. The player immediately received a yellow card. A hard shot by Vicente Ferraz from long distance, 87 minutes into the match, got Dalmo Sergipano's attention. Through a fast twist with his body, he could stop the ball from going in on his right side. The teams fought very hard right up to the final whistle. Both sets of players were happy to go away with a draw.
