Today's ref is Daniel de França, who was born in Brasil and belongs to the association of Minas Gerais. 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.2, William Caetano has headed over from 4 yards out, after a pin point cross from Kerlon Sóbis. Wasted opportunity.
Min.8, high kick of Grêmio Foot-Ball Morro de Sao Paulo after a wonderful forward pass through the defense by Ilson Jô to Edivaldo Barbosa couldn't finish off that great move by Grêmio Foot-Ball Morro de Sao Paulo. Edivaldo Barbosa protested about the shirt pulling he was the victim of.
Min.10, Anderson Dante of Grêmio Foot-Ball Morro de Sao Paulo shoots but hits the bar. He's got a crack at the rebound all alone in front of Alberto Teixeira... how did he miss that?! Unbelievable.
Min.21, Arthur Epaminondas threads a through ball to Filipe Larangera 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 Alex Caipo who hit it instantaneously towards João Sotilli' goal, but it never stopped rising. Goal kick.
Min.23, Gooooool !!! scored by Djalma Bernhardt. João Sotilli couldnt do anything about that one, 0-1.
You can hear a pin drop in this stadium after the away team opened the score board. Have the home fans had cold water poured over their heads? Even the hooligans are quiet now, amazing!
Min.29, César Neymar missed the ball completely, but he got his man, Júlio Lopes is not happy with that challenge at all.
Min.30, 'an almost goal by Sport Club Governador Celso Ramos. Foul shot of Djalma Bernhardt that was sent near the left post of João Sotilli.' Gracias Manuel, now go get me a brew.
Min.35, Júlio Lopes is desperate for movement from his colleagues, but none comes so he shot towards the goal from outside the area. Easily gathered by João Sotilli.
Min.38, William Caetano has a pop, but Alberto Teixeira takes that one with ease.
Min.45,it's the end of the first half. The teams make their way to dressing rooms. The scoreboard of this 45 minutes is 0-1.
The home team had 52 %. possession of the ball.
Min.52, Kerlon Sóbis loses the ball to Alcides Leite who takes advantage of the situation and charges down the field in opening up a scoring opportunity. Oh and he's wasted what could have been a real chance there.
Min.53, João Sotilli has to the corner to challenge Alex Caipo for the ball but erm, he failed. Fortunately for him, Ricardo Daniel Alves of Grêmio Foot-Ball Morro de Sao Paulo has got across to cover him and plays it safe and gives away the corner.
Min.55, Hugo Biurrun sent a long ball towards Djalma Bernhardt however João Sotilli decides to come from his area and calmly hoof it back up the field.
Min.59, Gooooool !!!, Alex Caipo scored and is now smiling lots. 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.67, huge play of Júlio Lopes from the right side which finishes with a 'death' back pass, but Ricardo Daniel Alves very watchful cuts down the pass in the small area when it looked like it would be a shouted goal. Incredible play of Júlio Lopes, who did all well but his pass didn't find a striker.
Min.74, Ricardo Daniel Alves put a cross in towards Lúcio Bastos at the front post, but Alberto Teixeira came and made a superb punch out in a difficult position.
Min.84 That was a wasted chance by Edivaldo Barbosa... 1-on-1 with Alberto Teixeira and 5 yards from goal, and he's put it right into the stands where the Sport Club Governador Celso Ramos fans are sitting... you can hear the donkey brays ringing from around the stadium!
