BotafogoJLFF 4 - 1 Futebol (360538300)

Weather conditions were fairly good for football, and Engenhão saw a crowd turnout of 5748. BotafogoJLFF decided to use a 4-4-2 set up. The following players had been chosen: Vasconcelos - Barroso, Rios, Prestes, Brossard - Silva Ramos, Lopes Couto, de Moraes, Sarau - Mazza, Bracha.

A 3-5-2 alignment was the formation of choice for Futebol. Starters: Formentini - Oetliker, Albach, de Buijzer - Baião, Cantagalo, Stinghen, Rosa Silva, Arrieiro - Rozental, Huicab.

Futebol immediately set off using their skill at pressing their opponents. With 5 minutes played, the home side managed to get a 1 - 0 lead as P. Lopes Couto flipped the ball in after a cross from the right. After 12 minutes, BotafogoJLFF sent a free kick in high over the penalty box. In what looked like a well-rehearsed move, the ball was headed backwards and reached R. Bracha, who had plenty of space to place a well aimed shot - 2 - 0. BotafogoJLFF's W. Barroso had an excellent opportunity after 18 minutes, shooting after receiving a pass from the right hand side, but he missed the goal by miles! A well-executed free kick by B. Mazza after 21 minutes made it 3 - 0 for BotafogoJLFF. After this, you could see that the players of BotafogoJLFF were more interested in killing time than scoring more goals. After several obvious shirt pulling incidents, C. Sarau got himself booked. The manager of BotafogoJLFF was not happy. A corner kick created great disorder in the penalty area with a goal nearly scored by C. Sarau. At last, BotafogoJLFF's S. Silva Ramos was able to backheel the ball in. 4 - 0. Halftime score was 4 - 0. BotafogoJLFF claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 54 percent.

After 62 minutes, BotafogoJLFF's S. Brossard fell awkwardly, but was determined to stay in the match. That's the spirit! At this time in the match, Futebol were using their skill at pressing to successfully stifle the game. With 66 minutes played, M. Rosa Silva of Futebol fell dramatically just outside the penalty area. However, the referee was unimpressed, and booked him for diving. The visitors got one back when M. Rosa Silva finished off a pass from the left and scored after 67 minutes. 4 - 1 was the score. P. Lopes Couto of BotafogoJLFF was booked for kicking the ball away after the whistle. 78 minutes into the game, J. Baião had to leave the pitch due to a knee injury. In came I. Castro. Possession in this half belonged to Futebol, who controlled the ball 52 percent of the time.

BotafogoJLFF's top performer was clearly B. Mazza. L. Vasconcelos was a disappointment, however. The most dominating Futebol player was without a doubt E. Arrieiro. On the other hand, I. Castro's play was disheartening. The match ends 4 - 1.
