If Tales Paiva had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 7th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. If Juvenal Mazza had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 29th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. After some careless play in the Aston Villa F.C defense, Juvenal Mazza kicked a shot that curved into the net to the right of Álvaro Cardozo. The Aston Villa F.C fans voiced their displeasure as they felt that Álvaro Cardozo should have stopped the shot. In the 39th minute, Felipe Vergílio hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. In the 40th minute of the match Mário Corrêa sent off a long shot with destination to the right of the goalkeeper, but Pedro Paulo Simões skillfully saved the ball. Tales Paiva recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 41st minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. After having played for 43 minutes, Sidney Baptista managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Aston Villa F.C's supporters crossed their fingers, but Sidney Baptista was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. Álvaro Cardozo showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Ernani Vander in the 46th minute of the match. Juvenal Mazza received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 48th minute. Álvaro Cardozo tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Even after changing tactics the home team jogged off the field with a 1-2 deficit. They would have to work harder if they wanted to turn things around in the second half.

The players of the away team seemed most concentrated when Juvenal Mazza stepped up to make the kick off in the second half. Luiz Fabiano Pinheiro's shot straight on target was not completely harmless. The ball had pretty good speed, but Pedro Paulo Simões firmly grabbed it by the left post. Sidney Baptista struck a weak shot in the 69th minute. Pedro Paulo Simões didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Aston Villa F.C. Luiz Fabiano Pinheiro sent away a hard shot on goal in the 74th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance.

After some careless play in the Aston Villa F.C defense, Juvenal Mazza kicked a shot that curved into the net to the right of Álvaro Cardozo.

In the 84th minute Sidney Baptista shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Pedro Paulo Simões saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Tales Paiva might have been able to make a better finish in the 85th minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Pedro Paulo Simões. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Tales Paiva ran back to his position shaking his head. The Nacos FC - AWAY support was delighted with a win in a match that could easily have ended differently.
