Jean Paulo Heleno, one of the legends in the world of international refs, takes control of today's match. Hopefully the Brasil born P.E. teacher, who belongs to the Amazonas association, will be able to compensate for the linesmen, who have been described in the local press as "complete muppets".

Min.9, Arthur Beiruth sends a lovely pass to the feet of André Guimarães 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. André Guimarães 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. Min.20, Goal !!!, The ball is played down the left touchline to Fredson Moacyr. There's nothing open on the left so he dribbles towards the centre. He's taking it to the edge of the area looking for the shot... he hits the ball full blast into the back of the net! SUPERB GOAL. The score now stands at 0-1. Min.36, 'deviated kick of Ronaille Carlos, in a play which started by a great cross from the right side of Ricardo Careca and a wonderful head pass of Valtencir de Almeida right in front of an open goal. He failed ,miserably.'My blind 74-year old grandma would've even scored that'. Min.39, Jorge Gomes sent a long ball towards Ronaille Carlos however Amílcar da Rosa decides to come from his area and calmly hoof it back up the field. Min.42, Gooooool !!!, Humberto Saraiva made a Titus Bramble-esque error there, allowing André Guimarães to take the ball off him just outside the box, he then buried the ball past Roger Chaves, who lets the defender know exactly what he thinks of him. The score is now 0-2. Yes!, the second goal of the team went in! This goal will give them more self-confidence and faith in the match. Min.44, huge play of Ricardo Careca from the right side which finishes with a 'death' back pass, but Giovane da Silva very watchful cuts down the pass in the small area when it looked like it would be a shouted goal. Incredible play of Ricardo Careca, who did all well but his pass didn't find a striker.

Min.45, half time here, with the score at 0-2, as they say, it's not over til the fat lady sings, so lets see what the second half brings us. The away team had 53 %. possession of the ball.

Min.52, miss for Associação Desportiva Itupeva. Cross by Moacir Feilhaber from the left wing towards Ronaille Carlos , who gets his head on it, but there's no real power on it and Amílcar da Rosa has no trouble catching that. Min.56, Racing João Pessoa are getting frustrated by the brilliance of Roger Chaves, he saved another one there, this time from the head of Homero Moacyr, after a great cross from the right touchline. Min.57, Homero Moacyr sends in a great corner, which goes sailing into the box straight to the head of Fredson Moacyr. Surely it must be a goal? Great reflex save by Roger Chaves. Min.60, high kick of Associação Desportiva Itupeva after a wonderful forward pass through the defense by Valtencir de Almeida to Alexandre Loureiro couldn't finish off that great move by Associação Desportiva Itupeva. Alexandre Loureiro protested about the shirt pulling he was the victim of. Min.66, shot by Alberto Marcón that beat Amílcar da Rosa who was unsighted with the melee of players in front of him, fortunately the post has saved him on this occasion. Min.71, Cabelino Roberto tried a cheeky shot from the outside of the area that was punched by the goalkepeer to the feet of André Guimarães, who immediately is the victim a dangerous tackle by Heraldo Figueiredo, and the referee gave the foul. Min.72, Homero Moacyr spannered that completely, much to the amusement of the opposition fans. Min.72, horribly mistimed challenge by Edcarlos Teixeira on Alexandre Loureiro. Obviously a freekick, but the ref doesnt seem to want to give it. Alexandre Loureiro is wanting to know how that doesnt warrant a yellow, poor reffing. The ref is taking no bull today and Alexandre Loureiro is booked for complaining. Min.73, Associação Desportiva Itupeva came very close to scoring. It was a dipping freekickby Alexandre Loureiro but it didnt quite do enough and hit the bar after beating Amílcar da Rosa and his despairing dive. Min.77, Goal !!!, Cabelino Roberto makes a series of dummy's and turns giving him the space to pass the ball to André Guimarães who is open. He connects with a beautiful first touch, hitting an unstoppable shot straight towards the goal. The score now stands at 0-3. The fans can't believe this result. Several fans were waving the symbolic white tissues... The manager should watch his head seriously. Unfortunately for them it's not the only problem... several fans are already leaving the stadium and the match isn't over yet! Min.84, Gooooool !!! Homero Moacyr scores... After receiving a great cross from the right touchline, Homero Moacyr controlled the ball and left Roger Chaves behind. He then rolled the ball into the empty goal. Now the scoreboard shows 0-4.

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 0-4. The away team had 53 %. possession of the ball.
