The crowd had been anticipating this game for weeks and the excitement in the stadium was easily visible. After some fancy dribbling in the 19th minute, Mário Novaes managed to get in a good position for a shot. Jaraguary AD's supporters rose to their feet, but Mário Novaes was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Waldemar de Medeiros breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. After 26 minutes, Luís Fabiano Mendes mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Jaraguary AD and the Carnaubal players grew even worse after the yellow card. In the 27th minute of the match Conrado Novaes sent off a long shot with destination to the right of the goalkeeper, but José Maria Nunes skillfully saved the ball. An unexpectedly hard shot by Sandrinho da Costa in the 29th minute of play forced Jaraguary AD's goalkeeper José Maria Nunes to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. In the 30th minute Sandrinho da Costa shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but José Maria Nunes saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. The audience was convinced that Mário Novaes's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Waldemar de Medeiros was relentless in the 38th minute of the game. After a rather tough play, Carnaubal's Paulo Faria got a free kick in the 39th minute. With a little luck, Carnaubal's Waldemar de Medeiros got control of the ball when Nando Moreira tried to sneak it across the goal line. Geovanni Quadros's late challenge caught a Carnaubal's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Geovanni Quadros helped the player get up and apologised. The Jaraguary AD players were disheartened as they walked off the pitch after the first half. Carnaubal were winning 0-1.

The players of the away team seemed most concentrated when Paulinho de Lima stepped up to make the kick off in the second half. In the 60th minute, Mário Novaes got an opportunity to score, but he didn't get a solid hit on the ball and ended up kicking it wide of the goal. Mário Novaes recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 64th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. Waldemar de Medeiros didn't have a chance when a screaming shot from Mário Novaes went, in the 66th minute, to the upper right corner, 1-1 was the resulting score. Sandrinho da Costa came free with the goalkeeper in the 74th minute of the match, and shot straight on target. The shot was a little too simple and José Maria Nunes could save by the left post. After some fancy dribbling in the 79th minute, Paulinho de Lima managed to get in a good position for a shot. Carnaubal's supporters rose to their feet, but Paulinho de Lima was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. José Maria Nunes breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. Nando Moreira received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 83rd minute. Waldemar de Medeiros tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Sandrinho da Costa came free with the goalkeeper in the 85th minute of the match, and shot straight on target. The shot was a little too simple and José Maria Nunes could save by the left post. A collision led to Carnaubal getting a freekick after 86 minutes play. Paulinho de Lima hit a great ball. After a defensive mix-up in Carnaubal's zone, Mário Novaes stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Waldemar de Medeiros came out of the goal and Mário Novaes tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. Jaraguary AD's José Maria Nunes proved his good apprehension of play when he, in the 93rd minute of the match, managed to save Jaraguary AD from getting a goal against them. If Pedro Augusto Matos had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 97th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Neither set of supporters seemed pleased with the draw, but both teams had played equally well today.
