Spectators: 5000 (Terracing: 4000, Seating: 1000, VIP seats: 0) Tabuleirao's Rony Paes started the match with a crisp pass. The crowd had been anticipating this game for weeks and the excitement in the stadium was easily visible. In the 3rd minute Geovanni Amaral shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Dida Medeiros saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Tabuleirao's Wellington Moreno suffered a concussion after 7 minutes and had to leave the field. Zé Carlos Teixeira's late challenge caught a Tabuleirao's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Zé Carlos Teixeira helped the player get up and apologised. Zé Carlos Teixeira kicked well hit freekick during the 9th minute of the match. Valdo Pirani kicked well hit freekick during the 10th minute of the match. An unexpectedly hard shot by Álvaro Garcia in the 15th minute of play forced Tabuleirao's goalkeeper Dida Medeiros to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. If Rony Paes had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 24th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Rony Paes who was well placed in front of the goal fired away a dangerous shot that in the 28thth minute tested the skills of Pedro Luiz Sena when he managed to save the team from getting behind. A hard shot 30 in the game by Rony Paes from a close distance when the talented Pedro Luiz Sena managed to make a qualified save. Pejeu FC's players were relieved. Tabuleirao's Emanuel Cosme suffered a sprained foot after 32 minutes and couldn't finish the game. 32 minutes into the game, Álvaro Garcia was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. Pejeu FC's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave Tabuleirao the free kick. Tabuleirao made a substitution. Rubens Mattos replaced Emanuel Cosme. After 34 played minutes Pejeu FC got a freekick which was hit by Álvaro Garcia. After a rather tough play, Tabuleirao's Adalberto Toledo got a free kick in the 36th minute. Geovanni Amaral received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 38th minute. Dida Medeiros tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. 40 minutes into the match, Valdo Pirani notched a goal, 0-1, to the right of Tabuleirao's Dida Medeiros. Dida Medeiros was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. After the first half Pejeu FC were leading 0-1. They had played with great self confidence throughout the first half and fully deserved their lead.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Geovanni Amaral to make the kick off. An unexpectedly hard shot by Geovanni Amaral in the 56th minute of play forced Tabuleirao's goalkeeper Dida Medeiros to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. The audience thought a goal was coming when Álvaro Garcia got free with Dida Medeiros in the 58th minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort. Orlando Koehler might have been able to make a better finish in the 65th minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Pedro Luiz Sena. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Orlando Koehler ran back to his position shaking his head. The audience was convinced that Rony Paes's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Pedro Luiz Sena was relentless in the 69th minute of the game. Pedro Luiz Sena made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Rony Paes in the 73rd minute of play. Rony Paes sent away a hard shot on goal in the 77th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. If Wilton Borges had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 79th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. The supporters of Tabuleirao booed when Pejeu FC was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 81 match minutes in a wonderful position. Róbson Quintal didn't get a good kick on the ball. Rony Paes fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 83rd minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Pedro Luiz Sena having to interfere. When the match had gone on for 85 minutes, Rubens Mattos put it in 2-1 from a short distance just to the right of Pedro Luiz Sena. When the match had gone on for 92 minutes, Geovanni Amaral took a quick shot and it went in 2-3 without a chance for Dida Medeiros to make any attempt to save it.
