Everson Coimbra, 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 Piauí association, will be able to compensate for the linesmen, who have been described in the local press as "complete muppets".
Min.6, Edmundo Dirnei is desperate for movement from his colleagues, but none comes so he shot towards the goal from outside the area. Easily gathered by Eliomar Rosa.
Min.8, Aymoré Grohe sees space on the byline and he runs into it and crosses towards the head of Breno Larangera. However, Fredson Marcón decided he fancied doing his job and cleared it with an assured header. Breno Larangera, is holding his side on the ground and complaining bitterly about Fredson Marcón'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 Breno Larangera is booked for complaining.
Min.11, Vitorino Gobatto 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, Brandon de Araújo and the referee gave the foul.
Min.12, Nacional Atlético Recife came very close to scoring. It was a dipping freekickby Breno Larangera but it didnt quite do enough and hit the bar after beating Cabelino de Paula and his despairing dive.
Min.14, Oswaldo Caetano spots Thiago Barrivieira breaking free from his marker, but his attempted pass into the space in front is easily intercepted by the defence.
Min.16, miss for Nacional Atlético Recife. Cross by Diego Carioca from the left wing towards Adriano Danilo , who gets his head on it, but there's no real power on it and Cabelino de Paula has no trouble catching that.
Min.25, Alberto de Bonfim 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.38, Oswaldo Caetano tried a long ball into the box, but the defence are on top atm and the ball was cleared by Alberto de Bonfim towards the corner and in fact it went out for a corner kick.
Min.39, Vitorino Gobatto comes to the rescue to prevent Grêmio Foot-Ball Salvador from scoring, clearing that one off the line after a great corner by Thiago Barrivieira.
Min.43,the ref has halted proceeding whilst Leandro Diniz receives treatment for what looks like a painful injury.
Min.44, Leandro Diniz is up and running again after a bit of help from the magic sponge. No sub needed here.
Min.45, half time here, with the score at 0-0, as they say, it's not over til the fat lady sings, so lets see what the second half brings us.
The home team had 57 %. possession of the ball.
Min.48, great run down the left wing by Danilo Belletti who spots Alberto de Bonfim in acres of space and tries to pick him out, but that was just naff.
Min.52, Vitorino Gobatto spots Breno Larangera breaking free from his marker, but his attempted pass into the space in front is easily intercepted by the defence.
Min.54, Caio Pato makes a good run in from the right touchline, before going 1-on-1 with Michel Barrivieira, who eventually wins the ball and clears it away.
Min.63, 'deviated kick of Breno Larangera, in a play which started by a great cross from the right side of Aymoré Grohe and a wonderful head pass of Vitorino Gobatto right in front of an open goal. He failed ,miserably.'My blind 74-year old grandma would've even scored that'.
Min.70 That was a wasted chance by Breno Larangera... 1-on-1 with Cabelino de Paula and 5 yards from goal, and he's put it right into the stands where the Grêmio Foot-Ball Salvador fans are sitting... you can hear the donkey brays ringing from around the stadium!
Min.75, Diego Carioca cannot free himself from Matheus Maior and loses the ball before he has the chance to send a cross in. Brandon de Araújo takes advantage of the situation to start a counter attack down the touchline. This could end up in a good scoring opportunity...
Min.76, the counterattack was led by Edmundo Dirnei. He tries to lob the keeper who has left his area however the ball goes just wide of the post.
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 0-0.
The home team had 57 %. possession of the ball.
After the alloted 90 minutes we still have a draw here, so the match goes to extra-time with two halves of 15 minutes.
Min.97, disastrous pass by Gökçek Peres who tries to pick out Aymoré Grohe, but the receiver could do nothing to control the ball. They will not create too many chances with that sort of slap dashery.
Min.100, shot by Dermival Paes that beat Eliomar Rosa who was unsighted with the melee of players in front of him, fortunately the post has saved him on this occasion.
Min.105, It's the end of the first halfof the extra-time here. The players are clearly tired now, with both teams getting sloppy they have to be careful not to give away a stupid penalty. As the players return to the pitch for a final effort, the score stands at 0-0.
Min.109, Gökçek Peres tried a long ball into the box, but the defence are on top atm and the ball was cleared by Brandon de Araújo towards the corner and in fact it went out for a corner kick.
Min.110, corner put in by Breno Larangera, it's not a very good one though, high and straight, an easy one for a keeper of Cabelino de Paula's calibre.
Min.117, Gooooool !!!, goal scored by Grêmio Foot-Ball Salvador. Great inside pass by Thiago Barrivieira to Edmundo Dirnei, who tried to dribble past Eliomar Rosa inside the area but the keeper of Nacional Atlético Recife cleared it. In the clearance, very careful, Amílcar de Mórais appeared and made the 0-1.
The attendance spectators were disappointed, they couldn’t believe how Amílcar de Mórais scored first for the away team and how things became difficult.
Min.120, Diego Carioca can't get away from Matheus Maior and loses the ball before he has the chance to send a cross in.
Min.120, there's the full time whistle and the game has finished 0-1.
The final score of this cup final between Nacional Atlético Recife - Grêmio Foot-Ball Salvador is 0-1, congratulations to Grêmio Foot-Ball Salvador, who pass to the next round of his country Cup.
