Spectators: 7140 (Terracing: 5356, Seating: 1642, VIP seats: 142) Natã de Brito started the match with the kick off in front of an excited audience. Beco Futebol Clube's Valério Donatello got a good chance for a goal in the 3rd minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. After having played for 5 minutes, Marcelo Tavares managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Beco Futebol Clube's supporters crossed their fingers, but Marcelo Tavares was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. Kléber Cordeiro struck a weak shot in the 9th minute. Reynaldo Cearense didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Beco Futebol Clube. After some fancy dribbling in the 15th minute, Celso Cunha managed to get in a good position for a shot. Mengol's supporters rose to their feet, but Celso Cunha was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Silvinho Aguiar breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. 25 minutes into the game, Celso Cunha was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. Mengol's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave Beco Futebol Clube the free kick. After 26 played minutes Mengol got a freekick which was hit by Celso Cunha. The audience was convinced that Cícero Capixaba's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Reynaldo Cearense was relentless in the 29th minute of the game. Celso Cunha received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 36th minute. Silvinho Aguiar tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. If Celso Cunha had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 39th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead.

When the second half was about to start, both teams quickly lined up and Cícero Capixaba made a kick off. Mengol's Natã de Brito broke free in the 51st minute of the match and struck a powerful long shot that almost became a goal, but instead the ball went outside the right post. An obvious chance of a goal. After a rather tough play, Mengol's Tales Sabóia got a free kick in the 56th minute. After some careless play in the Mengol defense, Cícero Capixaba kicked a shot that curved into the net to the right of Reynaldo Cearense. The Mengol fans voiced their displeasure as they felt that Reynaldo Cearense should have stopped the shot. When Cícero Capixaba came up free with the goalie in the 71st minute, the Beco Futebol Clube fans jumped to their feet. But the shot missed the goal by a fraction of an inch, and the fans sat back down disappointed that Cícero Capixaba couldn't finish the play. Cícero Capixaba scored 2-0 in the 73rd match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Reynaldo Cearense, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. Reynaldo Cearense took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Kléber Cordeiro, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. 79 minutes into the game, Elano Saraiva was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. Mengol's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave Beco Futebol Clube the free kick. After having played for 81 minutes, Cícero Capixaba managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal.
