Today's ref is Paulo Carioca, who was born in Brasil and belongs to the association of Paraíba. 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.6, Alessandro Motta shoots from distance, but it will take something special to beat Roberto Pinheiro who gathers it with ease. Min.9, Daniel Rebolo threads a through ball to Alessandro Anunciato 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 Gilberto Epaminondas who hit it instantaneously towards Helton Aparecido' goal, but it never stopped rising. Goal kick. Min.19, Jean Paulo Guidicelli has gone down, with pain written all over his face. Min.20, Jean Paulo Guidicelli is up and running again after a bit of help from the magic sponge. No sub needed here. Min.28, Gooooool !!! of Futebol Clube Guaruja, inside pass by Alex Rodrigo Roberto Carlos into the path of Sávio Aderaldo, who strikes it as sweetly beyond the outstretched arms of Roberto Pinheiro. Now the scoreboard is 0-1. Min.35, Gooooool !!!, Giovane Pereira sent a long ball towards Gilberto Epaminondas whose first touch takes him away from the defender and a beautiful finish past Helton Aparecido completes that basic route one move. So simple, yet so effective! The scoreboard is now 1-1. This match has not a winner yet and everything can stll happen Min.38, Márcio Epaminondas of Sociedade Esportiva Sao Jose dos Pinhais shoots but hits the bar. He's got a crack at the rebound all alone in front of Helton Aparecido... how did he miss that?! Unbelievable. Min.43, Arthur Gaspar got on the on the end of that poor clearance by the defence and calmly chested the ball down and struck a beautiful half volley towards the goal. It looked as if the keeper tipped that over, but the ref's given a goal kick. Great effort!

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 1-1. The home team had 55 %. possession of the ball.

Min.50, Márcio Epaminondas left the defense behind. The moment Gilberto Epaminondas 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. Helton Aparecido was blatantly laughing after that horrible attempt quite honestly we can only agree. Min.52, Rogério Melo is unable to get past Amauri Jô who steals the ball with a great challenge.Rogério Melo must have been watching too much boring football lately, he's complaining to the ref about a perfectly legal tackle. The ref is taking no bull today and Rogério Melo is booked for complaining. Min.59, Jean Paulo Guidicelli sees space on the byline and he runs into it and crosses towards the head of Anderson Silveira. However, Juliano Batista decided he fancied doing his job and cleared it with an assured header. Anderson Silveira, is holding his side on the ground and complaining bitterly about Juliano Batista's elbow to his ribs at the same time, what a talent he has there...get up you nancy. The ref is taking no bull today and Anderson Silveira is booked for complaining. Min.60, Possession is all very well but you have to make it count, and Alessandro Motta needs to make the pass. Now he plays the ball into the midfield, but the pass is too soft and poorly aimed. The rival defence intercept the ball without any problems. Poor; very poor. Min.65, Alessandro Anunciato cannot free himself from Rodrigo De Lima and loses the ball before he has the chance to send a cross in. Júlio Rosa takes advantage of the situation to start a counter attack down the touchline. This could end up in a good scoring opportunity... Min.66, the counterattack was led by Sávio Aderaldo. He tries to lob the keeper who has left his area however the ball goes just wide of the post. Min.66, Alessandro Motta can't get away from Fagner Assis and loses the ball before he has the chance to send a cross in. Min.74, Goooaaaaaaal !!!, Sávio Vinício did some good driblings from the center of the field going very close oponent goalkeeper but when everything seemed that the player was going to kick did a very good pass to Sávio Aderaldo, who only has to drive the ball into goal, who did the pass told with his mind 'Score you, because for me would be easier'. The scores now stand at 1-2. The stadium started to be very agitated because of the referee's decisions. The goal of the opponent didn't make things better... Min.82, huge play of Rogério Melo from the right side which finishes with a 'death' back pass, but Júlio Rosa very watchful cuts down the pass in the small area when it looked like it would be a shouted goal. Incredible play of Rogério Melo, who did all well but his pass didn't find a striker. Min.88, Gilberto Epaminondas 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.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 1-2. The home team had 55 %. possession of the ball.
