He then quickly gripped the ball tighter before the forwards in Esporte Clube Rio Bonito reached it. Tales Vaz kicked well hit freekick during the 24th minute of the match. 29 minutes into the match, Breno Fonseca had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Naldo Montenegro.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Sidnei Pimenta to make the kick off.

Sidnei Pimenta struck a weak shot in the 79th minute. Rubinho Falcão didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Clube de Regatas Flamengo. Breno Fonseca who was well placed in front of the goal fired away a dangerous shot that in the 81stth minute tested the skills of Naldo Montenegro when he managed to save the team from getting behind. After some fancy dribbling in the 82nd minute, Sidnei Pimenta managed to get in a good position for a shot. Clube de Regatas Flamengo's supporters rose to their feet, but Sidnei Pimenta was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Rubinho Falcão breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. In the 92ndth minute of the game Sidnei Pimenta who was perfectly placed tried to make a shot on goal, but Esporte Clube Rio Bonito's Rubinho Falcão was lucky and managed to grab hold of the ball. An unexpectedly hard shot by Sidnei Pimenta in the 96th minute of play forced Esporte Clube Rio Bonito's goalkeeper Rubinho Falcão to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. The Clube de Regatas Flamengo support was delighted with a win in a match that could easily have ended differently.
