The No 19 set off at speed and hit the ball past goalkeeper Lelê. However, in the 33rd minute Vic Albuquerque scored with a great header to make it all square and force a penalty shoot-out.
In the penalty shoot-out, the Brabas of Timão were more efficient than the Gurias Coloradas to close out the match 4-3 and secure their place in the final.
