Cabelino Maciel, 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 Paraná association, will be able to compensate for the linesmen, who have been described in the local press as "complete muppets".

Min.3, 'deviated kick of Adelino Guimarães, in a play which started by a great cross from the right side of Douglas de Menezes and a wonderful head pass of Joaquim de Melo right in front of an open goal. He failed ,miserably.'My blind 74-year old grandma would've even scored that'. Min.4, Wilson Anunciato coming from the right wing, sent a cross to the box that was controlled brilliantly by Philippe Hilton suffering a mis-timed tackle inside the area by Joaquim Lazzaretti. The referee had no doubts and he gave a penalty in favour of Grêmio Foot-Ball Joinville. Min.5, Goooaaaal !!!, Francismar Paulino hits the penalty perfectly, blasting it into the top righthand corner of the net. Jean Paul Jadílson went the right way, but there was no chance of reaching the ball. The scores stand at 0-1 The attendance spectators were disappointed, they couldn’t believe how Francismar Paulino scored first for the away team and how things became difficult. Min.7, Adriano Zagallo 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, Amauri Camara and the referee gave the foul. Min.8, Grêmio Foot-Ball Joinville came very close to scoring. It was a dipping freekickby Francismar Paulino but it didnt quite do enough and hit the bar after beating Jean Paul Jadílson and his despairing dive. Min.11, slightly mistimed tackle by Amauri Camara there, which sent Philippe Hilton sprawling. Free-kick. Yellow card for Amauri Camara, he knew what he was doing there and it worked. He doesn't mind taking one for the team. Min.12, Francismar Paulino hit that free kick far too deep and its bounced away for a goal kick. Min.14, Joaquim de Melo spots Mehmet Louzada breaking free from his marker, but his attempted pass into the space in front is easily intercepted by the defence. Min.22,'the defence of Grêmio Foot-Ball Joinville has cut the long ball towards the right touchline of Centro Sportivo Pernambuco, Douglas de Menezes fought like a young wild boar but he could not leave with the ball.' Thanks for that Manuel. Min.38,the ref has halted proceeding whilst Edivaldo e Silva receives treatment for what looks like a painful injury. Min.39 Edivaldo e Silva has gone down injured, but it looks like he will run it off. Min.40, Joaquim Lazzaretti put a cross in towards Baltazar Daud at the front post, but Renan Amarildo came and made a superb punch out in a difficult position.

Min.45, half time here, with the score at 0-1, as they say, it's not over til the fat lady sings, so lets see what the second half brings us. Both teams had an equal ball possession.

Min.46, horribly mistimed challenge by Joaquim Lazzaretti on Philippe Hilton. Obviously a freekick, but the ref doesnt seem to want to give it. Philippe Hilton is wanting to know how that doesnt warrant a yellow, poor reffing. Yellow card for Joaquim Lazzaretti after an unneccessary foul Min.47, Francismar Paulino sent in a dangerous cross shot free-kick, but it did not surprise Jean Paul Jadílson, who was able to protect his goal from the the ball with his fingertips. Min.49, what an incredible piece of skill by Baltazar Daud, he cut in from the left and ghosted past one defender before playing a square ball across to Joaquim de Melo, who aimed to score, but didnt. Min.53, Gustavo Nascimento sends a lovely pass to the feet of Mehmet Louzada 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. Mehmet Louzada 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.58, Evaristo Labarthe cannot free himself from Gustavo Guidicelli and loses the ball before he has the chance to send a cross in. Joaquim Lazzaretti takes advantage of the situation to start a counter attack down the touchline. This could end up in a good scoring opportunity... Min.59, the clearance by the defence was intercepted by Adelino Guimarães who tried to go past Amílcar Vederson but he failed miserably and loses possession. Min.61, Wilson Anunciato makes a good run in from the right touchline, before going 1-on-1 with Amauri Camara, who eventually wins the ball and clears it away. Min.82, Gustavo Nascimento 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.84, shot by Carlito Silas that beat Jean Paul Jadílson who was unsighted with the melee of players in front of him, fortunately the post has saved him on this occasion. Min.87, how rubbish of Adelino Guimarães. Gustavo Nascimento put the ball on a plate for him and instead of hitting it with his right foot it cannoned of his left shin wide of the goal. Hmmm, why is he playing in this team?

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 0-1. The home team had 50 %. possession of the ball.
