After having played for 57 minutes, Belchior Paranaense managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal.

Tadeu de Souza showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Raimundo Ferraz, who was totally free with the ball in the 62nd minute. Elia Paganelli charged in rather forcefully in the 67th minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Elia Paganelli the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. The supporters of Happy Esporte Clube booed when Minas FC was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 68 match minutes in a wonderful position. Elia Paganelli didn't get a good kick on the ball. A collision led to Minas FC getting a freekick after 73 minutes play. Joel Delgado hit a great ball. Lauro Pires blasted a shot towards the goal in the 78th minute, but the shot hit the top of the crossbar and went out without Cyprian Klawke having to make a save. In the 80th minute, Raimundo Ferraz left the goalkeeper for dead before tapping the ball into the right side of the net. The Minas FC fans were clearly happy with the effort and the scoreboard reflected the new score: 3-0. Cyprian Klawke didn't have a chance when a screaming shot from Lauro Pires went, in the 89th minute, to the upper right corner, 3-1 was the resulting score. Tadeu de Souza took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Raimundo Ferraz, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. For all the effort they put into the match, the Happy Esporte Clube players left disappointed. They had fought hard, but couldn't break down the home team's defense. The match ended in a win for Minas FC.
