Spectators: 7479 (Terracing: 5611, Seating: 1719, VIP seats: 149) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when João Vítor do Vale kicked off to start the match. After some fancy dribbling in the 3rd minute, Wiliam de Mendonça managed to get in a good position for a shot. Regina Apostolorum's supporters rose to their feet, but Wiliam de Mendonça was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post.
