Tulhas
Spectators: 35 (Terracing: 27, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Rubinho Loureiro took the kick off in the first half of the match. After 7 played minutes Tulhas got a freekick which was hit by Luís Guilherme Fernandes. Alfredo Favoretto didn't have a chance when a screaming shot from Tierney Gollogley went, in the 13th minute, to the upper right corner, 0-1 was the resulting score. When Luiz Fábio Tasso fell near the penalty area in the 17th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Tulhas's protests and gave Luiz Fábio Tasso a yellow card for diving instead. After 17 played minutes Tulhas got a freekick which was hit by Luiz Fábio Tasso. Alfredo Favoretto came out of the goal in the 26th minute to try and stop a shot by Rossestown's Treno Kirby. But to his dismay, Treno Kirby quickly shot the ball in between his legs and into the goal making it 0-2. After 31 minutes, Tierney Gollogley made it 0-3 with a short kick to the right side. Tulhas's Alfredo Favoretto tried to save the shot but he was too slow in reacting to the shot. 34 minutes into the match, Treno Kirby notched a goal, 0-4, to the right of Tulhas's Alfredo Favoretto. Alfredo Favoretto was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. In the 39th match minute, Rossestown was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Brenden McNamara to maneuver through the defense. 40 minutes into the match, Rubinho Loureiro had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Brak Lavine. Rossestown's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Rubinho Loureiro was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 1-4. Richard Mazza hit a great freekick 42 minutes into the match. If Tierney Gollogley had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 47th minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. Even after changing tactics the home team jogged off the field with a 1-4 deficit. They would have to work harder if they wanted to turn things around in the second half.

Rossestown's Brak Lavine played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Rubinho Loureiro in the 64th minute of play. With an all-out effort, Rossestown's Alfredo Favoretto threw himself towards the right post 70 minutes into the match and grabbed hold of the ball from Tierney Gollogley, which otherwise would have been placed in the net. Luiz Fábio Tasso kicked well hit freekick during the 73rd minute of the match. Alfredo Favoretto showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Tierney Gollogley in the 84th minute of the match. After having played for 86 minutes, Rubinho Loureiro managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Tulhas's supporters crossed their fingers, but Rubinho Loureiro was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. After 90 played minutes Tulhas got a freekick which was hit by Elias Paiva. Tierney Gollogley sent away a hard shot on goal in the 93rd minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. In the 95th minute of the match, Treno Kirby got a very nice opportunity to score, but Alfredo Favoretto was well-placed and pushed the ball away from the goal at the left post.
