Po-de-arroz jumped all over Mengao. Fluminense scored in the 14^th minute. Diguinho threaded the needle to mate Alan. Mengao keeper Bruno was helpless to stop the shot. Fluminense was up 1-0.

Things got worse for Rubro-Negro in the 41^st minute. Defender Ronaldo Angelim pulled down Alan in the box. This was a dumb play.  Alan nailed the PK to make it 2-0 Po-de-Arroz.

Mengao drew close when Diguinho tackled Juan in the box. The Emperor calmly nailed the PK to cut the Fluminense lead to 2-1 in the 43^rd minute.

Po-de-Arroz increased the lead to 3-1 three minutes later (46^th minute) when Cassio struck for gold on a wild and crazy scramble ball in front of the Mengao net.

Enter the second half and oh, what a relief it is. Rubro-Negro struck for four goals to slap this puppy away.

Flamengo must have gotten their butts chewed out by Andrade at halftime.

Mengao came out breathing fire.

In the 53^rd minute Adriano literally took the ball away from a Fluminense defender. The Emperor fed Vagner Love a perfect ball. Bamo end of this discussion. Goal for Love. It was now 3-2 Fluminense.

Two minutes later (55^th minute) Petkovic laid a great crossing ball into the box. All Kleberson had to do was walk the ball into the net.

This baby was tied up at three all.

Adriano showed why he is the one of the top players in Brasil. He scored the final two goals for Mengao thus killing Po-de-Arroz dream of beating cross-town rival Flamengo.

Mengao wins 5-3.

Both of the Emperors goals were nothing short of amazing. The first in the 82^nd minute Adriano rammed the ball into the back of the net off a wicked counter attack.

In the 89^th minute, the Emperor made Po-de-Arroz keeper Rafael look stupid.

Game, set, and match to Rubro-Negro.

Yes, the Birds started out like crap but when Adriano nailed the PK kick, this opened the floodgates.

It was Katie bar the door baby.
