Spectators: 40 (Terracing: 31, Seating: 9, VIP seats: 0) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play.

FSCMZ's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Evair Palmeira was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 2-0. Claudinho Macedo took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Evair Palmeira, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. When the referee blew the final whistle, ITAFUT 4EVER could leave the field as winners, despite Bazar Alegria E.C. FSCMZ having more of the ball for most of the match.
