Edu Louzada will be the referee of today's match, he is born in Brasil and a member of the Ceará association. To be honest, this guy is a bot of a soft touch, and some players will be looking to get away with a bit of funny business tonight. Let's hope no one gets hurt, unlike the last time he whistled a match.

Min.3, Filipe García has headed over from 4 yards out, after a pin point cross from Renato Boeck. Wasted opportunity. Min.7, miss for Grêmio Foot-Ball Ceará. Cross by Heraldo Pernambucano from the left wing towards Aurélio de Sousa , who gets his head on it, but there's no real power on it and Emerson Ronaldinho Gaúcho has no trouble catching that. Min.15, Frederico Moura sends a lovely pass to the feet of Aurélio de Sousa 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. Aurélio de Sousa 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.27, Filipe García of Sociedade Esportiva Manaus shoots but hits the bar. He's got a crack at the rebound all alone in front of Agostinho Martelo... how did he miss that?! Unbelievable. Min.38, shot by Humberto Heleno that beat Agostinho Martelo who was unsighted with the melee of players in front of him, fortunately the post has saved him on this occasion. Min.42, slightly mistimed tackle by Jorge Santos there, which sent Filipe García sprawling. Free-kick. Min.43, Marinho Marcelo spannered that completely, much to the amusement of the opposition fans. Min.44, Elidiano Pinto shoots from distance, but it will take something special to beat Emerson Ronaldinho Gaúcho who gathers it with ease.

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 56 %. possession of the ball.

Min.47, what an incredible piece of skill by Paulo Renato, he cut in from the left and ghosted past one defender before playing a square ball across to Humberto Heleno, who aimed to score, but didnt. Min.65, Gooooool !!!, Kléber Gallon sent a good through ball into the path of Juliano Belletti who instantly fires past the keeper. Now the score is 0-1. The attendance spectators were disappointed, they couldn’t believe how Juliano Belletti scored first for the away team and how things became difficult. Min.76, Paulo Renato can't get away from Alexandre Diniz and loses the ball before he has the chance to send a cross in. Min.83 That was a wasted chance by Marinho Marcelo... 1-on-1 with Agostinho Martelo and 5 yards from goal, and he's put it right into the stands where the Grêmio Foot-Ball Ceará fans are sitting... you can hear the donkey brays ringing from around the stadium! Min.86, 'deviated kick of Aurélio de Sousa, in a play which started by a great cross from the right side of Kléber Gallon and a wonderful head pass of Frederico Moura right in front of an open goal. He failed ,miserably.'My blind 74-year old grandma would've even scored that'. Min.88, Renato Boeck sees space on the byline and he runs into it and crosses towards the head of Marinho Marcelo. However, Jorge Santos decided he fancied doing his job and cleared it with an assured header. Marinho Marcelo, is holding his side on the ground and complaining bitterly about Jorge Santos'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 Marinho Marcelo is booked for complaining.

Min.90, The whistle has been blown, ending the game at 0-1. The home team had 56 %. possession of the ball.
