Cássio Cearense was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. After a defensive mix-up in Amaraji's zone, César de Souza stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Cássio Cearense came out of the goal and César de Souza tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play.
