Spectators: 36 (Terracing: 28, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Victor de Sena kicked off to start the match. 3 minutes into the match, Christiano Ramalho notched a goal, 1-0, to the right of Clube do Remo MZ's Cléber Pinho. Cléber Pinho was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. Christiano Ramalho took the ball and in the 8 minute, shot a rapid shot to the right of a surprised Cléber Pinho. Cléber Pinho dived to the right, and did manage to get a hand on the shot, but it still went into the right corner making it 2-0. In the 11th match minute, Sprite Star Football was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Jean da Silva to maneuver through the defense. After 15 played minutes Sprite Star Football got a freekick which was hit by Renatinho Lucas. The supporters of Sprite Star Football booed when Clube do Remo MZ was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 16 match minutes in a wonderful position. Victor de Sena didn't get a good kick on the ball. Jean da Silva could have scored with his fast shot on goal in the 20th minute of the match, but Cléber Pinho made a huge save. Wanderson Cordeiro might have been able to make a better finish in the 23rd minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Betão Paraíba. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Wanderson Cordeiro ran back to his position shaking his head. Sprite Star Football's Betão Paraíba played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Mário Maia in the 26th minute of play. Betão Paraíba showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Mário Maia, who was totally free with the ball in the 36th minute. Mário Maia fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 38th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Betão Paraíba having to interfere. In the 40th minute Pedro Augusto Pinho shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Cléber Pinho saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. With a little luck, Clube do Remo MZ's Cléber Pinho got control of the ball when Christiano Ramalho tried to sneak it across the goal line. When the referee blew for the end of the half the home team players were clearly happier, as they went in to the break leading 2-0.

The players of the away team seemed most concentrated when Pedro Augusto Pinho stepped up to make the kick off in the second half. After some careless play in the Clube do Remo MZ defense, Pedro Augusto Pinho kicked a shot that curved into the net to the right of Cléber Pinho. The Clube do Remo MZ fans voiced their displeasure as they felt that Cléber Pinho should have stopped the shot. Cléber Pinho came out of the goal in the 57th minute to try and stop a shot by Sprite Star Football's Pedro Augusto Pinho. But to his dismay, Pedro Augusto Pinho quickly shot the ball in between his legs and into the goal making it 4-0. Durval Pitta's late challenge caught a Sprite Star Football's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Durval Pitta helped the player get up and apologised. Christiano Ramalho received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 64th minute. Cléber Pinho tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Cléber Pinho took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Pedro Augusto Pinho, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Betão Paraíba made an important save on a dangerous shot by Victor de Sena in the 70th minute. After a defensive mix-up in Sprite Star Football's zone, Victor de Sena stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Betão Paraíba came out of the goal and Victor de Sena tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. In the 78th play minute Victor de Sena came free and shot an unsuspected shot which went into goal from the right pole behind a surprised Betão Paraíba. 4-1. Victor de Sena's shot when he came free in front of the goal in the 82ndth minute, Betão Paraíba skillfully showed off with a save to what seemed to be an obvious goal. After some fancy dribbling in the 83rd minute, Victor de Sena managed to get in a good position for a shot. Clube do Remo MZ's supporters rose to their feet, but Victor de Sena was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Betão Paraíba breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. Mário Maia received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 85th minute. Betão Paraíba tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Cléber Pinho took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Pedro Augusto Pinho, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Mário Maia scored 4-2 in the 93rd match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Betão Paraíba, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot.
