Spectators: 32 (Terracing: 25, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) The mood of the audience was pleasant when Narciso Moreira made the kick off which started today's match. 4 minutes into the match, MACUMBA's goalkeeper Renatinho Reis had to clear away a ball on his right side after a cunning shot by Gualter de Salles. Renatinho Reis made a fantastic save in the 6th minute, when Gualter de Salles sent off a good shot on target. After 7 minutes, Tiago do Vale mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Aos Trancos E Barrancos and the MACUMBA players grew even worse after the yellow card. In the 11th minute, Wilfredo Pelagius got an opportunity to score, but he didn't get a solid hit on the ball and ended up kicking it wide of the goal. In the 14th minute, Ademar Neves ran past the defenders and hit a shot which went straight ahead into goal. Paulinho Antunes was frozen by the shot and now it was 0-1. In the 17th minute, Gualter de Salles left the goalkeeper for dead before tapping the ball into the right side of the net. The Aos Trancos E Barrancos fans were clearly happy with the effort and the scoreboard reflected the new score: 1-1. Thanks to some nice foot action and superb ball handling Ademar Neves in the 23rd minute a chance for a shot on goal. With an extended leg and a bit of luck Paulinho Antunes prevented the ball from getting in the gole. After a rather tough play, Aos Trancos E Barrancos's Luís Fabiano Barros got a free kick in the 24th minute. Tiago do Vale took a chance and fired a shot far from the goal in the 30th minute, but it turned out to be a dangerous situation for Renatinho Reis. MACUMBA's goalkeeper really had to stretch himself to stop the ball from crossing the goal line. Ademar Neves struck a weak shot in the 33rd minute. Paulinho Antunes didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for MACUMBA. Norberto Branco received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 36th minute. Paulinho Antunes tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Tiago do Vale was shown his second yellow card after 38 minutes, following a rather ugly tackle on opponent. That was the end of his participation in the match. Ademar Neves sent away a hard shot on goal in the 42nd minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. After fighting hard for a draw in the first half, the players were able to take a much needed rest.

Narciso Moreira tried in the game's 51st match minute to clear up in front of his own goal but it went so bad that he put the ball into the goal to the left of an unhappy Paulinho Antunes. An annoying self made goal, 1-2. Luís Fabiano Barros fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 60th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Renatinho Reis having to interfere. After a defensive mix-up in Aos Trancos E Barrancos's zone, Wilfredo Pelagius stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Paulinho Antunes came out of the goal and Wilfredo Pelagius tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. Ademar Neves might have been able to make a better finish in the 70th minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Paulinho Antunes. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Ademar Neves ran back to his position shaking his head. Ademar Neves recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 71st minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. Luís Fabiano Barros kicked well hit freekick during the 76th minute of the match. Ademar Neves received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 90th minute. Paulinho Antunes tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. When Norberto Branco came up free with the goalie in the 92nd minute, the MACUMBA 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 Norberto Branco couldn't finish the play. Paulinho Antunes was a little too slow when Ademar Neves got a fine hit on the ball which went right into the goal in the 94th minute. The score was now 1-5. MACUMBA's fans were overjoyed with their teams well-earned victory and stayed in the stadium long after the final whistle to celebrate the win.
