Spectators: 7198 (Terracing: 5400, Seating: 1655, VIP seats: 143) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Zé Augusto Silva started the match with the kick off. Sílvio Luís das Neves struck a weak shot in the 2nd minute. Cristóvão Queirós didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Fuma. Joel Quintal in the 5thth minute had a little luck and got a chance for a shot in front of the goal. Without hesitation aimed to the right of Doni Torres, who managed to lunge to the right direction and made a save. 8 minutes into the game, Mathias Alagoano was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. Fuma's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave C.R. Legião the free kick. In the 9th minute, Mathias Alagoano hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. After some fancy dribbling in the 10th minute, Joel Quintal managed to get in a good position for a shot. C.R. Legião's supporters rose to their feet, but Joel Quintal was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Doni Torres breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. If Zé Augusto Silva had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 14th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. In the 15th minute, Oswaldo Chaves hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. In the 18th minute, Gilberto de Amaral hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. The audience was convinced that Zé Augusto Silva's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Doni Torres was relentless in the 21st minute of the game. Joel Quintal blasted a shot towards the goal in the 24th minute, but the shot hit the top of the crossbar and went out without Doni Torres having to make a save. An unexpectedly hard shot by Sílvio Luís das Neves in the 31st minute of play forced C.R. Legião's goalkeeper Cristóvão Queirós to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Diego Prado received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 32nd minute. Cristóvão Queirós tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Sílvio Luís das Neves struck a weak shot in the 34th minute. Cristóvão Queirós didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Fuma. In the 46th minute, Diego Prado ran past the defenders and hit a shot which went straight ahead into goal. Cristóvão Queirós was frozen by the shot and now it was 0-1. After the first half Fuma were leading 0-1. They had played with great self confidence throughout the first half and fully deserved their lead.

When the second half was about to start, both teams quickly lined up and Diego Prado made a kick off. After some fancy dribbling in the 53rd minute, Zé Augusto Silva managed to get in a good position for a shot. C.R. Legião's supporters rose to their feet, but Zé Augusto Silva was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Doni Torres breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. Doni Torres showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Zé Augusto Silva, who was totally free with the ball in the 56th minute. 75 minutes into the match, Joel Quintal had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Doni Torres. Fuma's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Joel Quintal was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 1-1. Zé Augusto Silva fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 81st minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Doni Torres having to interfere. In the 86th minute Zé Augusto Silva shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Doni Torres saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Cristóvão Queirós made an important save on a dangerous shot by Sílvio Luís das Neves in the 97th minute. Jeers came from both ends of the stadium when the final whistle went. Neither team had looked impressive and the draw seeemd a fair result.
