The visitors have decided upon 4-4-2, using Emerson Iarley - Denilson Antunes, Gilmar Borges, Alfeu Mauricio, Edgar Conceição - Tiago Machado, Paulo Everson, Afonso Beraldo, Douglas Pereira - Marcos Antonio Arruda, Alexandre Deivison.

Today's ref is Bruno Bernhardt, who was born in Brasil and belongs to the association of Mato Grosso do Sul. He is known to be firm but fair, and he will take no nonsense from the players or managers. I wouldn't be surprised to see a few cards given out in today's match.

Min.11, Tiago Machado is unable to get past Jefferson Soares who steals the ball with a great challenge.Tiago Machado must have been watching too much boring football lately, he's complaining to the ref about a perfectly legal tackle. Min.16, Alessandro Mora is desperate for movement from his colleagues, but none comes so he shot towards the goal from outside the area. Easily gathered by Emerson Iarley. Min.20, Fellype Anunciato sent a long ball towards Dener Bordon however Emerson Iarley decides to come from his area and calmly hoof it back up the field. Min.25, Alessandro Mora sees space on the byline and he runs into it and crosses towards the head of Dener Bordon. However, Alfeu Mauricio decided he fancied doing his job and cleared it with an assured header. Dener Bordon, is holding his side on the ground and complaining bitterly about Alfeu Mauricio's elbow to his ribs at the same time, what a talent he has there...get up you nancy. Min.28, Grêmio Esportivo Mato Grosso nearly scored. Alexandre Deivison ran onto a great ball from Afonso Beraldo, which beat the offside trap, the keeper came rushing out and the lob was attempted, but the lob didnt succeed. Min.42, Douglas Pereira has a pop, but Sérgio Costa takes that one with ease. Min.43, Fellype Anunciato threads a through ball to Júlio Rinaldi who times his run poorly and has to wait for the ball on the left hand side. Once it got to him, he immediately passed the ball to Cristiano Bernhardt who hit it instantaneously towards Emerson Iarley' goal, but it never stopped rising. Goal kick.

Min.45, the refs blown up for half time before the allocated injury time has been played and now he's sprinting off down the tunnel, guess he's been caught short. The current score is 0-0. The home team had 56 %. possession of the ball.

Min.49, 'deviated kick of Dener Bordon, in a play which started by a great cross from the right side of Alessandro Mora and a wonderful head pass of Fellype Anunciato right in front of an open goal. He failed ,miserably.'My blind 74-year old grandma would've even scored that'. Min.55, Alberto Mora put a cross in towards Júlio Rinaldi at the front post, but Emerson Iarley came and made a superb punch out in a difficult position. Min.57, Alexandre Deivison of Grêmio Esportivo Mato Grosso shoots but hits the bar. He's got a crack at the rebound all alone in front of Sérgio Costa... how did he miss that?! Unbelievable. Min.63, Júlio Cícero spots Cristiano Bernhardt breaking free from his marker, but his attempted pass into the space in front is easily intercepted by the defence. Min.76 That was a wasted chance by Dener Bordon... 1-on-1 with Emerson Iarley and 5 yards from goal, and he's put it right into the stands where the Grêmio Esportivo Mato Grosso fans are sitting... you can hear the donkey brays ringing from around the stadium! Min.79, Paulo Everson can't get away from Ademir Nascimento and loses the ball before he has the chance to send a cross in.

Min.90, The whistle has been blown, ending the game at 0-0. The home team had 56 %. possession of the ball.
