Spectators: 32 (Terracing: 25, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Walmyr Neiva took the kick off in the first half of the match. Nelson Bertassi hit a great freekick 5 minutes into the match. Vila Izabel Futebol Clube's Gerson Siqueira managed to work through INTER's defense and was going for an easy goal, but he hit the shot with his toe and the ball flew outside the goal. Gerson Siqueira dejectedly held out his arms as if to ask why the ball hadn't gone in. Walmyr Neiva received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 25th minute. Dário Cosme tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere.
