The match official for today's game is Kléber de Paula, born in Brasil, who normally plies his trade with the Bahia association. He is a hugely experienced referee and we can expect a tightly controlled game tonight

Min.4, Lúcio de França spots Toninho Iarley breaking free from his marker, but his attempted pass into the space in front is easily intercepted by the defence. Min.9,the ref has halted proceeding whilst Willian Barros receives treatment for what looks like a painful injury. Min.10 Willian Barros has gone down injured, but it looks like he will run it off. Min.14, disastrous pass by Marcos Sotilli who tries to pick out Tiago Coutinho, but the receiver could do nothing to control the ball. They will not create too many chances with that sort of slap dashery. Min.18, 40 yard effort by Willian Barros that wasnt too bad actually, Clederson Biurrun plays it safe and puts it out towards the corner. Esporte Clube Ipojuca are starting to play some decent football now. Min.19, corner put in by Toninho Iarley, it's not a very good one though, high and straight, an easy one for a keeper of Clederson Biurrun's calibre. Min.22, Tiago Coutinho makes a good run in from the right touchline, before going 1-on-1 with Cabelino Gallon, who eventually wins the ball and clears it away. Min.26, huge play of Alberto Clementino from the right side which finishes with a 'death' back pass, but Marcinho Fernandes very watchful cuts down the pass in the small area when it looked like it would be a shouted goal. Incredible play of Alberto Clementino, who did all well but his pass didn't find a striker. Min.30,'the defence of Sociedade Esportiva e Recreativa Armasao Dos Buzios has cut the long ball towards the right touchline of Esporte Clube Ipojuca, Lúcio de França fought like a young wild boar but he could not leave with the ball.' Thanks for that Manuel. Min.32, Marcos Sotilli sent a long ball towards Alexandre José Tiuí however Rafael De Lima decides to come from his area and calmly hoof it back up the field. Min.40, Josué Eller has gone down, with pain written all over his face. Min.41, Josué Eller is up and running again after a bit of help from the magic sponge. No sub needed here.

Min.45, the refs blown up for half time before the allocated injury time has been played and now he's sprinting off down the tunnel, guess he's been caught short. The current score is 0-0. The home team had 57 %. possession of the ball.

Min.46, Donato Rivelino 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, Marcinho Fernandes and the referee gave the foul. Yellow card for Marcinho Fernandes after an unneccessary foul Min.47, Toninho Iarley shot in a very wayward manner sending the ball to row z. Min.53, Willian Barros crosses for Toninho Iarley, his marker Josué Belletti 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.54, Marcos Sotilli has a pop, but Rafael De Lima takes that one with ease. Min.68, Goooaaaaaaal !!!, Lúcio de França 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 Toninho Iarley, 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 1-0. The supporters are now behaving like complete hooligans after the first goal. Min.71, Josué Belletti put a cross in towards Arthuro Caipo at the front post, but Rafael De Lima came and made a superb punch out in a difficult position. Min.77, Donato Rivelino threads a through ball to Willian Barros 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 Ilson Ken who hit it instantaneously towards Clederson Biurrun' goal, but it never stopped rising. Goal kick. Min.79 That was a wasted chance by Toninho Iarley... 1-on-1 with Clederson Biurrun and 5 yards from goal, and he's put it right into the stands where the Sociedade Esportiva e Recreativa Armasao Dos Buzios fans are sitting... you can hear the donkey brays ringing from around the stadium! Min.82, high kick of Sociedade Esportiva e Recreativa Armasao Dos Buzios after a wonderful forward pass through the defense by Hugo Dirnei to Claudio Blumer couldn't finish off that great move by Sociedade Esportiva e Recreativa Armasao Dos Buzios. Claudio Blumer protested about the shirt pulling he was the victim of. The ref is taking no bull today and Claudio Blumer is booked for complaining.

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 1-0. The home team had 57 %. possession of the ball.
