Spectators: 35 (Terracing: 27, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) FIEL TUPÃ's Cacá Carioca started the match with a crisp pass. The crowd had been anticipating this game for weeks and the excitement in the stadium was easily visible. In a very dangerous position, a player in FIEL TUPÃ fell when an opponent tried to get the ball from him in the 2nd minute. Penalty! FIEL TUPÃ:s Geovanni Arruda showed great skill when he stopped Vito de Toledo:s penalty. The audience was convinced that Robert Kasemaa's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Geovanni Arruda was relentless in the 6th minute of the game. César Duarte kicked well hit freekick during the 11th minute of the match. Geovanni Arruda took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Vitinho Galvão, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Vito de Toledo might have been able to make a better finish in the 21st minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Geovanni Arruda. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Vito de Toledo ran back to his position shaking his head. In the 22nd minute Otávio Falcão shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Geovanni Arruda saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Cacá Cariocas short, quick shot in the 24thth minute got Doriva Teixeira to make great effort and bar the ball away from getting in. In the 26th minute Vito de Toledo shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Geovanni Arruda saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. In the 28th minute Quico Sánchez shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Doriva Teixeira saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. In the 30th minute Robert Kasemaa shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Geovanni Arruda saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. In the 31st minute Otávio Falcão shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Geovanni Arruda saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. In the 32nd match minute, FIEL TUPÃ was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Cacá Carioca to maneuver through the defense. A collision led to AC☆Golden Eagle Team☆ getting a freekick after 36 minutes play. Valdemar Vasconcelos hit a great ball. Doriva Teixeira acted impressively in front of the goal and made a superb save when he, in the 37th minute, took the ball on the long shot from Birol Refet. Doriva Teixeira was out of position in the 38 minute of play, and Göran Ekberg capitalized on the mistake with a soft shot into the goal. Göran Ekberg really showed his touch with that goal: 1-1. Doriva Teixeira made an important save on a dangerous shot by Cacá Carioca in the 47th minute.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Robert Kasemaa to make the kick off. Doriva Teixeira showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Quico Sánchez in the 54th minute of the match. Otávio Falcão sent away a hard shot on goal in the 61st minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. If Otávio Falcão had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 70th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. After some fancy dribbling in the 71st minute, Göran Ekberg managed to get in a good position for a shot. FIEL TUPÃ's supporters rose to their feet, but Göran Ekberg was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Doriva Teixeira breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. 75 minutes into the match, FIEL TUPÃ's goalkeeper Geovanni Arruda had to clear away a ball on his right side after a cunning shot by Robert Kasemaa. With a little luck, FIEL TUPÃ's Geovanni Arruda got control of the ball when Vitinho Galvão tried to sneak it across the goal line. 81 minutes into the match, Göran Ekberg notched a goal, 2-1, to the right of AC☆Golden Eagle Team☆'s Doriva Teixeira. Doriva Teixeira was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. 84 minutes into the game, Cacá Carioca cracked a shot to the right of the goalkeeper, 3-1. Doriva Teixeira was not in position, and could only watch the ball fly in. Quico Sánchez charged in rather forcefully in the 86th minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Quico Sánchez the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. After a rather tough play, FIEL TUPÃ's Quico Sánchez got a free kick in the 86th minute. 89 minutes into the game, Ciro Maia was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. FIEL TUPÃ's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave AC☆Golden Eagle Team☆ the free kick. Ciro Maia hit a great freekick 89 minutes into the match. FIEL TUPÃ's supporters were highly satisfied with the result. They cheered their team of the pitch, having watched them win a very even match.
