Vila Nova didn’t need much time to score the first goal. At six minutes, Vinícius Paiva crossed into the box and found Gustavo Pajé unmarked at the edge of the area to finish.

At eight minutes into the second half, João Vieira extended Vila Nova’s lead. The midfielder received the ball at the edge of the penalty area and curled a shot into the top corner past goalkeeper César to score the home side’s second of the match.

Avaí pulled one back with Cléber converting a penalty at the 16-minute mark. The striker missed his first attempt, but the referee ordered a retake due to encroachment. On the second try, he struck powerfully down the middle and scored.

Avaí’s equalizer came at the last minute, at 44 minutes. After a cross into the area, Josmar rose above the defense to head the ball in and level the score.

At 46 minutes, Avaí’s goalkeeper César made a mistake playing out from the back and committed a hard foul on Poveda. He was shown a red card. However, the team had already made all five substitutions, so full-back Raylan had to go in goal.
