Karanba (BRA) – Fässbergs IF (SWE) 1-0 (1-0)
The game started in a quick tempo where both teams had their eyes on the trophy, but soon Karanba took over and showed some individual skills. About halfway in the first half Fässberg came back and was about one inch from scoring the first goal of the match. Instead Karanba took the lead after a mistake in Fässberg’s pass upfield and Patrick Alves Fonseca got the ball and ran about 30 meters before he put the ball under Fässberg’s goalkeeper. An even first half where Karanba managed to take advantage of Fässberg’s mistake.
The second half took by where the first half ended with attacks for both teams but no clear opportunities. Thereafter Fässberg controlled the game and got two freekicks just outside the penalty area but without luck. Karanba on the other hand concentrated on fast counter attacks and almost increased their lead but the ball hit the bar. An entertaining game where both teams played well but Karanba made fewer mistakes.
