After having played for 8 minutes, Zé Mendes managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Luverdense Esporte Clube's supporters crossed their fingers, but Zé Mendes was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. Horácio de Medeiros was out of position in the 12 minute of play, and Paulinho Mangueira capitalized on the mistake with a soft shot into the goal. Paulinho Mangueira really showed his touch with that goal: 1-0. 15 minutes into the match, Luverdense Esporte Clube's goal looked a bit too open when Paulinho Mangueira came free, but Horácio de Medeiros reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line.

The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. 26 minutes into the match, Luverdense Esporte Clube's goalkeeper Horácio de Medeiros had to clear away a ball on his right side after a cunning shot by Enio da Silva.

In the 41st minute Zé Mendes shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Dário Saldanha saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Luverdense Esporte Clube's Horácio de Medeiros proved his good apprehension of play when he, in the 45th minute of the match, managed to save Luverdense Esporte Clube from getting a goal against them.

The referee showed Zé Mendes the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play.
