The referee in charge of tonight's game is Cássio Jardel, who was born in Brasil and belongs to the college of Sergipe. He is a referee in the style of Pierluigi Collina, who does not tolerate foul play, and will not allow player's disputing his decisions or throwing their toys out of the pram!

Min.3, Gooooool !!!, Claudio Bóvio sent a good through ball into the path of Álvaro Epaminondas who instantly fires past the keeper. Now the score is 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.9, Álvaro Caetano can't get away from Flávio Coutinho and loses the ball before he has the chance to send a cross in. Min.18 That was a wasted chance by Júlio Hulk... 1-on-1 with Venâncio Gama and 5 yards from goal, and he's put it right into the stands where the Esporte Clube Pernambuco fans are sitting... you can hear the donkey brays ringing from around the stadium! Min.22, Francismar Boeck opens the pitch up sending Álvaro Caetano towards the left touchline, but before the ball gets to him he gets rugby tackled by Flávio Coutinho and the referee quite rightly gives the foul. Min.23, Álvaro Epaminondas shot in a very wayward manner sending the ball to row z. Min.25, Goal !!!, Claudio Bóvio makes a series of dummy's and turns giving him the space to pass the ball to Danilo Assis who is open. He connects with a beautiful first touch, hitting an unstoppable shot straight towards the goal. The score now stands at 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.30, Cássio Vederson 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.37, 'deviated kick of Júlio Hulk, in a play which started by a great cross from the right side of Ronaille Cardoso and a wonderful head pass of Gilberto Paes right in front of an open goal. He failed ,miserably.'My blind 74-year old grandma would've even scored that'. Min.42, Wilson Conserva shoots from distance, but it will take something special to beat Venâncio Gama who gathers it 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 0-2. The away team had 53 %. possession of the ball.

Min.53, Álvaro Caetano tried a cheeky shot from the outside of the area that was punched by the goalkepeer to the feet of Álvaro Epaminondas, who immediately is the victim a dangerous tackle by Djalma Hulk, and the referee gave the foul. Yellow card for Djalma Hulk, he knew what he was doing there and it worked. He doesn't mind taking one for the team. Min.54, rubbish shot by Álvaro Epaminondas that goes waaaaay over the bar. Min.67, Gilberto Paes sent a long ball towards Júlio Hulk however Venâncio Gama decides to come from his area and calmly hoof it back up the field. Min.70, Luiz Amarildo crosses for Júlio Hulk, his marker Cabelino Clementino 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.77, Felipe Guedes put a cross in towards Luiz Amarildo at the front post, but Venâncio Gama came and made a superb punch out in a difficult position. Min.79, Charles Daud makes a good run in from the right touchline, before going 1-on-1 with Djalma Hulk, who eventually wins the ball and clears it away. Min.85, how rubbish of Danilo Assis. Claudio Bóvio 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 0-2. The away team had 53 %. possession of the ball.
