Estádio BARRIGA VERD
Spectators: 7175 (Terracing: 5383, Seating: 1650, VIP seats: 142) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Paulo Machado kicked off to start the match. Nilson Leão made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Alex Barral in the 9th minute of play. If Alex Barral had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 17th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. After a rather tough play, ITAJAI SC's Álvaro Loyola got a free kick in the 26th minute. If Dito Lara had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 29th minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. Dito Lara fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 32nd minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Nilson Leão having to interfere. If Alex Barral had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 36th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. 42 minutes into the match, ITAJAI SC's goal looked a bit too open when Dito Lara came free, but Nilson Leão reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. In the 45th minute, Alex Barral left the goalkeeper for dead before tapping the ball into the right side of the net. The Esporte Clube Vitória fans were clearly happy with the effort and the scoreboard reflected the new score: 0-1. Disappointed in the 0-1 score, the home team went to the dressing room to adjust tactics for the second half.

The hometeam waved at the audience when it was time for Matheus Galvão to strike the kick off in the second half. When Matheus Galvão came up free with the goalie in the 55th minute, the Esporte Clube Vitória 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 Matheus Galvão couldn't finish the play. ITAJAI SC's Nilson Leão played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Alex Barral in the 67th minute of play. In the 71st minute, Esporte Clube Vitória's Matheus Galvão dribbled the ball into the box and hit a shot with the outside of his foot, sending the keeper the wrong way. 0-2. After a rather tough play, ITAJAI SC's Thomás de Lima got a free kick in the 80th minute. With a little luck, ITAJAI SC's Nilson Leão got control of the ball when Matheus Galvão tried to sneak it across the goal line. When the match was over Esporte Clube Vitória could go home with a victory in their luggage, having controlled the game far better than ITAJAI SC throughout the match.
