Fog rolls over the pitch, turning the ground into a misty battlefield. Despite low visibility, both teams push hard, knowing that every try and every kick will count in this tight contest.
In the first half Cavalo-Leão da Fuxica strike early, scoring at the 2‑minute mark and again at 8. Neither conversion lands, so they hold a comfortable 10‑5 lead when the break comes. Leões de Jade Estruinte respond with a try at 16, and a successful conversion by Guilherme at 17 ties the game at 10‑10, but Cavalo keeps a slight edge.
Fog and pressure bite at Cavalo’s kicker, forcing two failed conversions. Their forwards maintain a solid defensive line, stopping the Leões’ back‑line from finding the gaps. Davi Ferreira’s early try gives Leões a taste of victory, yet the lack of conversions keeps the match level.
The second half sees Leões erupt. At 44 a fresh attack finishes with a try, and Evaristo adds a successful conversion at 45, putting Leões 14‑10 ahead. Three minutes later, Aureliano Cruz rockets home another try, pushing the score to 19‑10.
Cavalo answers at 54, with a hard‑charged try that takes the score to 15‑19. Guilherme nails a conversion at 55, trimming the deficit to 17‑19. A pivotal moment arrives at 57 when a red card removes a Leões forward, yet the team holds onto its slim lead despite playing short.
Davi Ferreira proves pivotal for Leões, scoring a try and taking a conversion try but later receives a yellow card at 41. Guilherme and Evaristo secure the two conversions that kept Leões in front. Aureliano Cruz’s try is the match‑decider. Cavalo’s two missed conversions prove costly, and Felipe’s yellow card at 53 leaves Cavalo with less momentum in the final minutes.
