Spectators: 5000 (Terracing: 4000, Seating: 1000, VIP seats: 0) The mood of the audience was pleasant when Naldo Soares made the kick off which started today's match. After 7 minutes of play, Muricizinho's Michel Soares made it 0-1 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Váldson Montenegro was left in no man's land by his defense there! José Paulo Loureiros short, quick shot in the 13thth minute got José Maria Azevedo to make great effort and bar the ball away from getting in. Naldo Soares's shot was meant for the net just under the crossbar, but Váldson Montenegro read the situation well and was quickly in position to make a wonderful save in the 22nd minute of play. Váldson Montenegro took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Naldo Soares, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. In the 26th minute Michel Soares shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Váldson Montenegro saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. 29 minutes into the game, José Paulo Loureiro recieved a splendid long ball, split the defenders, and gently placed the ball to the left of José Maria Azevedo.

In the 51st minute the ball was on its way in behind Sem Experiencia FC's goalkeeper Váldson Montenegro, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. Sem Experiencia FC's Leonel Alcântara got a good chance for a goal in the 53rd minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. Leonel Alcântara struck a weak shot in the 60th minute. José Maria Azevedo didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Sem Experiencia FC.

In the 65th minute, Vitório Tande hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Muricizinho's José Maria Azevedo played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Leonel Alcântara in the 65th minute of play.

Naldo Soares showed that you don't have to tear a hole in the net to score, 1-2. 84 minutes into the game, Gino Dias was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. Muricizinho's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave Sem Experiencia FC the free kick. Gino Dias kicked well hit freekick during the 85th minute of the match. After a defensive mix-up in Muricizinho's zone, José Paulo Loureiro stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat.

To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. 87 minutes into the game, Leonel Alcântara cracked a shot to the right of the goalkeeper, 2-2. José Maria Azevedo was not in position, and could only watch the ball fly in. An unexpectedly hard shot by José Paulo Loureiro in the 94th minute of play forced Muricizinho's goalkeeper José Maria Azevedo to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. If Michel Soares had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 95th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Júlio Botelho charged in rather forcefully in the 96th minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Júlio Botelho the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. Júlio Botelho hit a great freekick 96 minutes into the match.
