Spectators: 37 (Terracing: 29, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Fabinho Pernambucano took the kick off in the first half of the match. Nico Tasso made an important save on a dangerous shot by Claudio Caniggia in the 5th minute. 8 minutes into the match, Encanto's Léo Travassos sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that David Prada narrowly saved just below the crossbar. David Prada took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Fabinho Pernambucano, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. An unexpectedly hard shot by Zhuang Fan Zhen in the 19th minute of play forced Encanto's goalkeeper Nico Tasso to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Nico Tasso came out of the goal in the 19th minute to try and stop a shot by SANFINS VLP's Zhuang Fan Zhen. But to his dismay, Zhuang Fan Zhen quickly shot the ball in between his legs and into the goal making it 1-0. Fabinho Pernambucano sent away a hard shot on goal in the 22nd minute, but the ball hit the crossbar and went out. A very good chance for a goal. David Prada made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Fabinho Pernambucano in the 22nd minute of play. Basílio Silveira hit a great freekick 24 minutes into the match. When Angelo Nogueira fell near the penalty area in the 46th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored SANFINS VLP's protests and gave Angelo Nogueira a yellow card for diving instead. In the 46th minute, Angelo Nogueira hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field.

When the second half was about to start, both teams quickly lined up and Claudio Caniggia made a kick off. The supporters of Encanto booed when SANFINS VLP was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 55 match minutes in a wonderful position. Angelo Nogueira didn't get a good kick on the ball. Nico Tasso showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Zhuang Fan Zhen in the 57th minute of the match. Bernardinho Paes hit a great freekick 59 minutes into the match. Nico Tasso showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Claudio Caniggia, who was totally free with the ball in the 61st minute. Fabinho Pernambucano received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 64th minute. David Prada tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Angelo Nogueira was shown his second yellow card after 69 minutes, following a rather ugly tackle on opponent. That was the end of his participation in the match. Fabinho Pernambucano's shot straight on target was not completely harmless. The ball had pretty good speed, but David Prada firmly grabbed it by the left post. The audience was convinced that Claudio Caniggia's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Nico Tasso was relentless in the 80th minute of the game. In the 81st minute, Osvaldinho Rocha hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Thanks to some nice foot action and superb ball handling Fabinho Pernambucano in the 90th minute a chance for a shot on goal. With an extended leg and a bit of luck David Prada prevented the ball from getting in the gole. After a rather tough play, SANFINS VLP's Basílio Silveira got a free kick in the 91st minute. Nico Tasso didn't have a chance when a screaming shot from Claudio Caniggia went, in the 94th minute, to the upper right corner, 3-0 was the resulting score. SANFINS VLP were really happy, having secured the victory after a very even contest. They thanked the players of Encanto for a fine match.
