Spectators: 36 (Terracing: 28, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Vítor Simão started the match with the kick off. Isaltino Vargas took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Jarbas Pombal, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. In the 11th minute, EoDu Uai Sôccer's Angelo Mangueira seemed to kick out at an opponent. The referee saw this and, surprisingly, showed Angelo Mangueira the red card, dismissing him from the pitch. The coaching staff of EoDu Uai Sôccer protested bitterly, but the referee would have none of it, and Angelo Mangueira had no choice but to slowly walk off the pitch. The supporters of Reko-Recko 03™ booed when EoDu Uai Sôccer was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 12 match minutes in a wonderful position. Angelo Mangueira didn't get a good kick on the ball. EoDu Uai Sôccer's Isaltino Vargas played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Giuseppe de Souza in the 13th minute of play. An unexpectedly hard shot by Wiliam Cardoso in the 18th minute of play forced EoDu Uai Sôccer's goalkeeper Isaltino Vargas to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Nico Vidal might have been able to make a better finish in the 20th minute when he tried to place a hard shot over André Abraão. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Nico Vidal ran back to his position shaking his head. In the 21st minute of the match Orlando Guimarães shot from a long distance. The ball could have gone into the goal to the right of the goalkeeper, but André Abraão showed his good shape when he easily got hold of the ball. Vítor Simão struck a weak shot in the 22nd minute. André Abraão didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for EoDu Uai Sôccer. Reko-Recko 03™'s André Abraão played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Vítor Simão in the 25th minute of play. After some fancy dribbling in the 26th minute, Giuseppe de Souza managed to get in a good position for a shot. Reko-Recko 03™'s supporters rose to their feet, but Giuseppe de Souza was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Isaltino Vargas breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. When the match clock showed 26 minutes, the score became 0-1 when Jarbas Pombal sped through EoDu Uai Sôccer's defense and sent away a curving shot that went into the net to the right of Isaltino Vargas. With a little luck, Reko-Recko 03™'s André Abraão got control of the ball when Vítor Simão tried to sneak it across the goal line. In the 32nd minute, Alessandro Moraes hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. André Abraão acted impressively in front of the goal and made a superb save when he, in the 33rd minute, took the ball on the long shot from Leandro Capixaba. After a rather tough play, EoDu Uai Sôccer's Frank Alvarenga got a free kick in the 34th minute. 38 minutes into the match, Vítor Simão notched a goal, 1-1, to the right of Reko-Recko 03™'s André Abraão. André Abraão was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it.

After a rather tough play, EoDu Uai Sôccer's Frank Alvarenga got a free kick in the 52nd minute. Reko-Recko 03™'s André Abraão played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Vítor Simão in the 55th minute of play. Vítor Simão took the ball and in the 63 minute, shot a rapid shot to the right of a surprised André Abraão. André Abraão dived to the right, and did manage to get a hand on the shot, but it still went into the right corner making it 2-1. If Nico Vidal had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 71st minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. Jarbas Pombal who was well placed in front of the goal fired away a dangerous shot that in the 80thth minute tested the skills of Isaltino Vargas when he managed to save the team from getting behind. The supporters of EoDu Uai Sôccer booed when Reko-Recko 03™ was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 81 match minutes in a wonderful position. Ed Mundo didn't get a good kick on the ball. In the 83rd minute Vítor Simão shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but André Abraão saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. 84 minutes into the match, Reko-Recko 03™'s goal looked a bit too open when Vítor Simão came free, but André Abraão reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. André Abraão showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Vítor Simão, who was totally free with the ball in the 86th minute. André Abraão showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Vítor Simão in the 93rd minute of the match. Ed Mundo's late challenge caught a EoDu Uai Sôccer's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Ed Mundo helped the player get up and apologised. In the 97th minute, Ed Mundo hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. EoDu Uai Sôccer were really happy, having secured the victory after a very even contest. They thanked the players of Reko-Recko 03™ for a fine match.
