The crowd had been anticipating this game for weeks and the excitement in the stadium was easily visible. Glauco Amaral sent away a hard shot on goal in the 3rd minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. When Ivo Senna came up free with the goalie in the 5th minute, the Holandés Volador F.C fans jumped to their feet. But the shot missed the goal by a fraction of an inch, and the fans sat back down disappointed that Ivo Senna couldn't finish the play. Cássio Sarmento hit a great freekick 6 minutes into the match. 13 minutes into the match, São Paulo F.C's goal looked a bit too open when Narciso Domingues came free, but Luciano Sampaio reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Cipriano Lima's late challenge caught a Holandés Volador F.C's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Cipriano Lima helped the player get up and apologised. Juan de Castro was extremely unlucky when he, in the 21st minute, took a shot that hit the right post and went out. After having played for 23 minutes, Jonathan Berger managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. São Paulo F.C's supporters crossed their fingers, but Jonathan Berger was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal.

Glauco Amaral scored 0-1 in the 44th match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Luciano Sampaio, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Ivo Senna to make the kick off.

The referee showed Cássio Sarmento the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. Cássio Sarmento hit a great freekick 52 minutes into the match.

After a defensive mix-up in São Paulo F.C's zone, Ivo Senna stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Luciano Sampaio came out of the goal and Ivo Senna tried to chip the ball over his head.
