Tonight's match official is Afonso Vieira, born in Brasil and he belongs to the Minas Gerais association. He has a reputation for letting the game flow, but has been criticized for being too lenient sometimes and there is a chance players will try to get away with a few cheeky fouls.

Min.3, Fabiano Ramalho shoots from distance, but it will take something special to beat Filipe Filho who gathers it with ease. Min.5, Venâncio Pinheiro threads a through ball to Amaury de França 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 Domingos Rosa who hit it instantaneously towards Vinícius Saragosa' goal, but it never stopped rising. Goal kick. Min.12, Jean Paul Gama is unable to get past Moacir Dracena who steals the ball with a great challenge.Jean Paul Gama must have been watching too much boring football lately, he's complaining to the ref about a perfectly legal tackle. Min.14, Alberto Vieira shot from the edge of the area, a pretty timid shot and easily gathered by Vinícius Saragosa, who without any delay, got rid of it with a long throw towards his forwards, starting a counterattack. Min.15, the clearance by the defence was intercepted by Matheus Pererira who tried to go past Vinícius Anderson but he failed miserably and loses possession. Min.22, Goooaaaaaaal !!!, Fabiano Ramalho 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 Matheus Pererira, 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 0-1. The attendance spectators were disappointed, they couldn’t believe how Matheus Pererira scored first for the away team and how things became difficult. Min.26, Arthuro Belletti crosses for Edilio Barrivieira, his marker Vinícius Anderson 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.33, Venâncio Pinheiro sent a probing ball towards Domingos Rosa, who dribbled by his defender but Vinícius Saragosa was having none of it and cheekily tripped him up, a few unpleasantry's followed but the defender was too busy rofling to care. Anyway the ref has given the penalty. Min.34, Goooaaaal !!!, Leandro Valentim hits the penalty perfectly, blasting it into the top righthand corner of the net. Vinícius Saragosa went the right way, but there was no chance of reaching the ball. The scores stand at 1-1 The home fans give the goal scorer a big applause for scoring when his team played remarkably bad.

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 1-1. The home team had 51 %. possession of the ball.

Min.47, Brandon Viana sees space on the byline and he runs into it and crosses towards the head of Matheus Pererira. However, Vinícius Anderson decided he fancied doing his job and cleared it with an assured header. Matheus Pererira, is holding his side on the ground and complaining bitterly about Vinícius Anderson's elbow to his ribs at the same time, what a talent he has there...get up you nancy. Min.51, Jean Paul Gama loses the ball to Moacir Dracena 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.52, the counterattack was led by Matheus Pererira. He tries to lob the keeper who has left his area however the ball goes just wide of the post. Min.59, Brandon Viana is unable to get past Alex Rodrigo Clovis who steals the ball with a great challenge.Brandon Viana must have been watching too much boring football lately, he's complaining to the ref about a perfectly legal tackle. Min.69, Gooooool !!!, Vinícius Anderson made a Titus Bramble-esque error there, allowing Edilio Barrivieira to take the ball off him just outside the box, he then buried the ball past Filipe Filho, who lets the defender know exactly what he thinks of him. The score is now 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.75, high kick of Associação Desportiva Niteroi after a wonderful forward pass through the defense by Venâncio Pinheiro to Domingos Rosa couldn't finish off that great move by Associação Desportiva Niteroi. Domingos Rosa protested about the shirt pulling he was the victim of. The ref is taking no bull today and Domingos Rosa is booked for complaining. Min.83, what an incredible piece of skill by Amaury de França, he cut in from the left and ghosted past one defender before playing a square ball across to Michel Marcelo, who aimed to score, but didnt. Min.85, Leandro Valentim left the defense behind. The moment Domingos Rosa ran straight towards the keeper he should have known that a pass-like ball would be sufficient to hit the net yet he attempts a shot and the as expected the ball flew high and wide right into the stands. Vinícius Saragosa was blatantly laughing after that horrible attempt quite honestly we can only agree.

Min.90, The whistle has been blown, ending the game at 1-2. The home team had 51 %. possession of the ball.


The final score of this cup final between Associação Desportiva Niteroi - Esporte Clube Aracatuba is 1-2, congratulations to Esporte Clube Aracatuba, who pass to the next round of his country Cup.
