Today's ref is Igor Menezes, 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.5, Evaristo Renato is unable to get past Moacir Ribeiro who steals the ball with a great challenge.Evaristo Renato must have been watching too much boring football lately, he's complaining to the ref about a perfectly legal tackle. Min.8, Amílcar Santos plays a good ball to the feet of Felipe De Lima, who tunrs and shoots quickly, but it deflects off Renato Belmonte and goes off for a corner. Min.9, corner put in by Augusto Jardel, it's not a very good one though, high and straight, an easy one for a keeper of Rogério Martins's calibre. Min.11, Luís Eduardo Conserva put a cross in towards Lucas Grohe at the front post, but Rogério Martins came and made a superb punch out in a difficult position. Min.14, Deraldo de Menezes drove the ball without problems in the midfield but upon arriving at his intended destination, his brakes failed and he suffered a nasty crash with the pain train, otherwise known as, Luís Eduardo Conserva and the referee gave the foul. Luís Eduardo Conserva has been giving his marching orders, his manager will not be happy. Min.15, 'an almost goal by Clube Atlético Fortaleza. Foul shot of Itamar Tardelli that was sent near the left post of Sonny Batista.' Gracias Manuel, now go get me a brew. Min.24, Felipe De Lima left the defense behind. The moment Augusto Jardel ran straight towards the keeper he should have known that a pass-like ball would be sufficient to hit the net yet he attempts a shot and the as expected the ball flew high and wide right into the stands. Rogério Martins was blatantly laughing after that horrible attempt quite honestly we can only agree. Min.30, 'failed chance, kick of Evaristo Renato who is nearly to score. The ball goes out, after the touch of a defender, but the referee doesn't see it and calls goal kick. Evaristo Renato rested claiming for the corner kick that everyone had seen, less the referee. ' Yes Manuel, yes. The ref is taking no bull today and Evaristo Renato is booked for complaining. Min.35, Emerson De Lima has got some magic feet and shows us all his trickery to get into a great position in the box, unfortunately for him, he's a complete donkey and tripped over his twinkle toes and face planted the ball, which proceeds to roll out harmlessly for a goal kick. Min.44, Deraldo de Menezes has headed over from 4 yards out, after a pin point cross from Homero Silveira. Wasted opportunity.

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 54 %. possession of the ball.

Min.52, miss for Associação Atlética Campo Grande. Cross by Lucas Grohe from the left wing towards Felipe De Lima , who gets his head on it, but there's no real power on it and Rogério Martins has no trouble catching that. Min.56, shot by Moacir Ribeiro that beat Sonny Batista who was unsighted with the melee of players in front of him, fortunately the post has saved him on this occasion. Min.64, great run down the left wing by Ilson Geromel who spots Marcos Antonio Souto in acres of space and tries to pick him out, but that was just naff. Min.67, disastrous pass by Amílcar Santos who tries to pick out Evaristo Renato, but the receiver could do nothing to control the ball. They will not create too many chances with that sort of slap dashery. Min.80, It seems that Lucas Grohe has some physical problem, he is lying down on the pitch. Maybe it isn't physical at all, he could just be a bit tired or like the smell of grass. Nope, no, i was wrong, it is a physical problem, the physio has confirmed that he is in fact, hurt. Min.81 Lucas Grohe has gone down injured, but it looks like he will run it off. Min.82, Amílcar Santos sends a lovely pass to the feet of Augusto Jardel who races through the defence going 1-on-1 with the keeper.... beautiful goal! The referee's disallowed it; the linesman's flag was up. I don't think he got that one right, and the players agree. Augusto Jardel has lost his temper and wants to go have words with the assistant. He's having to be restrained by his team mates. You can understand his frustration. The ref is taking no bull today and Augusto Jardel is booked for complaining. Min.86, Deraldo de Menezes threads a through ball to Ilson Geromel 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 Itamar Tardelli who hit it instantaneously towards Sonny Batista' goal, but it never stopped rising. Goal kick.

Min.90, and that's the end of the game here, the teams make their way off the field to the applause of the crowds. The game finished 0-0. The home team had 54 %. possession of the ball.
