Spectators: 32 (Terracing: 25, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) The sun was shining, the grass was green and the audience cheered when Tião Meira got the match started through his kick off. 7 minutes into the match, Diogo Moreno notched a goal, 0-1, to the right of DG.F.CLUBE's Carlos Fernando Fernandez. Carlos Fernando Fernandez was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. After 10 played minutes, Itaitinga's Diogo Moreno shot from a long distance, and at first it looked like the ball was going into the goal, but the goalkeeper Carlos Fernando Fernandez came through and got his fingers on the ball before it flew over the goal line. He then quickly gripped the ball tighter before the forwards in Itaitinga reached it. 13 minutes into the match, DG.F.CLUBE's Joel Peixoto sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that Marco Pinheiro narrowly saved just below the crossbar. Carlos Fernando Fernandez made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Belchior Maranhense in the 14th minute of play. Itaitinga's Marco Pinheiro played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Cristian de Queiroz in the 17th minute of play. The supporters of DG.F.CLUBE booed when Itaitinga was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 20 match minutes in a wonderful position. Geovânio Tróia didn't get a good kick on the ball. With his leg Marco Pinheiro managed to avoid a goal in the 22ndth minute, when DG.F.CLUBE's Thiago Faria fired away a shot with a lot of spin towards his right hand side. Carlos Fernando Fernandez came out of the goal in the 37th minute to try and stop a shot by Itaitinga's Belchior Maranhense. But to his dismay, Belchior Maranhense quickly shot the ball in between his legs and into the goal making it 1-2. Carlos Fernando Fernandez took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Tião Meira, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. The referee was alert and spotted a serious foul by Eusébio Eger during the 47th minute. The player immediately received a yellow card. Thiago Faria's shot was meant for the net just under the crossbar, but Marco Pinheiro read the situation well and was quickly in position to make a wonderful save in the 48th minute of play. The score stood at 2-2 when the half time whistle went. Both sets of players seemed reasonably pleased with how the match was going.

When the second half was about to start, both teams quickly lined up and Thiago Faria made a kick off. Thiago Faria recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 52nd minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. A collision led to DG.F.CLUBE getting a freekick after 53 minutes play. Claudinho Breckenfeld hit a great ball. After some careless play in the Itaitinga defense, Thiago Faria kicked a shot that curved into the net to the right of Marco Pinheiro. The Itaitinga fans voiced their displeasure as they felt that Marco Pinheiro should have stopped the shot. Cristian de Queiroz sent away a hard shot on goal in the 60th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. In the 65th minute the ball was on its way in behind Itaitinga's goalkeeper Marco Pinheiro, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. After a rather tough play, DG.F.CLUBE's Claudinho Breckenfeld got a free kick in the 67th minute. In the 72nd minute Joel Peixoto shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Marco Pinheiro saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Thiago Faria recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 73rd minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. After 80 minutes of play, the referee blew the whistle. It was a penalty for Itaitinga! 85 minutes into the match, Thiago Faria had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Marco Pinheiro. Itaitinga's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Thiago Faria was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 5-2. The supporters of DG.F.CLUBE booed when Itaitinga was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 88 match minutes in a wonderful position. Tião Meira didn't get a good kick on the ball. Joel Peixoto sent away a hard shot on goal in the 91st minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. A long shot from Diogo Moreno in the 96th minute of play was well struck, but Carlos Fernando Fernandez made a really good save at the right post. It was no surprise that this one had ended in a win for the home team. DG.F.CLUBE had played much better football throughout.
