Spectators: 5000 (Terracing: 4000, Seating: 1000, VIP seats: 0) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Lúcio Marquez took the kick off in the first half of the match. Felippe Maciel 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.

Tiaguinho Brasil didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Esporte Clube Vitória 189. All the noise was coming from the home fans when the whistle went for half-time. The home team had fought hardest to put themselves in a deserved lead.

The players of the away team seemed most concentrated when Elder Bertassi stepped up to make the kick off in the second half. Hamílton Magalhães, 66 minutes into the match, dribbled the ball up the side of the field and decided to take a long shot at the goal. Unfortunately, the ball was poorly hit and landed closer to the corner than to the goal. Orlando Linares took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Elder Bertassi, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side.
