Spectators: 5050 (Terracing: 4000, Seating: 1000, VIP seats: 50) The mood of the audience was pleasant when Alessandro Alves made the kick off which started today's match. Gil Ramalho took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Noel Rezende, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. 12 minutes into the match, Ludovico FC's goal looked a bit too open when Sandro Loureiro came free, but Dalmo Almeida reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. After some fancy dribbling in the 19th minute, Alessandro Alves managed to get in a good position for a shot. Fidelis's supporters rose to their feet, but Alessandro Alves was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Dalmo Almeida breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. When the match had gone on for 23 minutes, Aírton Moura took a quick shot and it went in 2-0 without a chance for Dalmo Almeida to make any attempt to save it. Fidelis's Gil Ramalho played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Noel Rezende in the 25th minute of play. Fabinho Alcântara fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 38th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Dalmo Almeida having to interfere. 41 minutes into the match, Noel Rezende had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Gil Ramalho. Fidelis's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Noel Rezende was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 2-1. No-one was surprised that the home team were leading 2-1 at half-time.

Alessandro Alves sent away a hard shot on goal in the 51st minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Gil Ramalho made an important save on a dangerous shot by Noel Rezende in the 56th minute. Pedrão Souto charged in rather forcefully in the 59th minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Pedrão Souto the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. Pedrão Souto kicked well hit freekick during the 60th minute of the match. Alessandro Alves's shot was meant for the net just under the crossbar, but Dalmo Almeida read the situation well and was quickly in position to make a wonderful save in the 70th minute of play. In the 73rd minute, Fabinho Alcântara got an opportunity to score, but he didn't get a solid hit on the ball and ended up kicking it wide of the goal. Dalmo Almeida took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Fabinho Alcântara, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. 89 minutes into the match, Noel Rezende notched a goal, 2-2, to the right of Fidelis's Gil Ramalho. Gil Ramalho was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. Fidelis were disappointed that they only managed a draw, even though they felt themselves to be the better team.
