The players are positioned on the field waiting for the whistle that will kick off proceedings.

Today's ref is Felipe Coser, who was born in Brasil and belongs to the association of Amapá. 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.3, Aguinaldo Carvalho shot from the edge of the area, a pretty timid shot and easily gathered by Edivaldo Menezes, who without any delay, got rid of it with a long throw towards his forwards, starting a counterattack. Min.4, Domingos Danilo has to the corner to challenge Fellype Aderaldo for the ball but erm, he failed. Fortunately for him, Rafael Silva of Clube Teresopolis has got across to cover him and plays it safe and gives away the corner. Min.8, Marcelo Iarley hit the ball over Renato Filho but it's struck Waldo Melo on the arm, inside the area. The referee awards a penalty. Min.9, Gooooool !!!, Renato Filho gave the keeper the eyes there and it worked, sending him the wrong way completely to make it 1-0. Min.11, Goooaaaaaaal !!!, Edervaldo Mineiro 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 Fellype 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 1-1. The home fans kept quiet because of the equalizer of the visitor team Min.20, Rafael Fraga 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.23, Marcelo Iarley sent a long ball towards Renato Filho however Edivaldo Menezes decides to come from his area and calmly hoof it back up the field. Min.27, Donato Becerra has headed that against the post after a magnificent cross by Nílson Macedo. Min.30, Gooooool !!!, goal scored by Racing Alagoas. Great inside pass by Rafael Fraga to Fellype Aderaldo, who tried to dribble past Domingos Danilo inside the area but the keeper of Clube Teresopolis cleared it. In the clearance, very careful, Elson Cardoso appeared and made the 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.44, what an incredible piece of skill by Waldo Melo, he cut in from the left and ghosted past one defender before playing a square ball across to Elson Cardoso, who aimed to score, but didnt.

Min.45, half time here, with the score at 1-2, 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 51 %. possession of the ball.

Min.46, Marcelo Iarley sends a lovely pass to the feet of Renato Filho 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. Renato Filho 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 Renato Filho is booked for complaining. Min.49, Giovane Camara crosses for Renato Filho, his marker Christian Lemos trips over and after some grappling, both players end up in a mess on the floor, they want a penalty but they're not getting it. Min.56, huge play of Jonilson Carioca from the right side which finishes with a 'death' back pass, but Francisco Carioca very watchful cuts down the pass in the small area when it looked like it would be a shouted goal. Incredible play of Jonilson Carioca, who did all well but his pass didn't find a striker. Min.68, Jonas Tiuí got the ball with a bit of luck and he tried to make wall pass with Rafael Fraga. But Rafael Silva cleverly hacks him down to stop the move. Rafael Fraga isn't happy and is complaining to the referee, asking for a yellow card. Min.69, Domingos Danilo finishes the orders to his wall and the ref blows for the free kick to be taken by Fellype Aderaldo. Not a bad effort at all, but it didnt curl enough and goes behind for a goal kick. Min.70, disastrous pass by Aguinaldo Carvalho who tries to pick out Nílson Macedo, but the receiver could do nothing to control the ball. They will not create too many chances with that sort of slap dashery. Min.84, Gooooool !!! for Racing Alagoas. Crossing pass from the left flank by Waldo Melo and Fellype Aderaldo places it beautifully past the keeper, 1-3. 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.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 1-3. The away team had 51 %. possession of the ball.


The final score of this cup final between Clube Teresopolis - Racing Alagoas is 1-3, congratulations to Racing Alagoas, who pass to the next round of his country Cup.
