Spectators: 7263 (Terracing: 5449, Seating: 1670, VIP seats: 144) The mood of the audience was pleasant when Joélson Arruda made the kick off which started today's match. After having played for 8 minutes, Teodoro Teles managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Tupiniquins's supporters crossed their fingers, but Teodoro Teles was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. Joélson Souza blasted a shot towards the goal in the 12th minute, but the shot hit the top of the crossbar and went out without Valdir Lopez having to make a save. 19 minutes into the match, Tupiniquins's goal looked a bit too open when Kiko Cabral came free, but Vivaldo Tinoco reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Joélson Souza was extremely unlucky when he, in the 21st minute, took a shot that hit the right post and went out. If Joélson Souza had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 24th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Teodoro Teles received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 28th minute. Valdir Lopez tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Teodoro Teles sent away a hard shot on goal in the 32nd minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. When Joélson Souza came up free with the goalie in the 34th minute, the Tupiniquins 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 Joélson Souza couldn't finish the play. In the 36th minute Joélson Arruda shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Vivaldo Tinoco saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Tupiniquins's Cauã Tepedino got a good chance for a goal in the 37th minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. Valdir Lopez stood for a superb save when he managed to get hold of Joélson Souza's shot from short distance in the 42nd minute.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Joélson Souza to make the kick off. In the 55th minute the ball was on its way in behind Berigui's goalkeeper Valdir Lopez, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. In the 68thth minute of the game Teodoro Teles who was perfectly placed tried to make a shot on goal, but Berigui's Valdir Lopez was lucky and managed to grab hold of the ball. If Joélson Arruda had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 78th minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. Vivaldo Tinoco took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Joélson Arruda, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. When Tupiniquins's Joélson Souza in the 86th minute got a chance for a shot 86th didn't hesitate and placed the ball to the right of the goalie. A beautiful save bye Berigui's goalie prevented a goal. Claudinei Monteiro struck a weak shot in the 88th minute. Valdir Lopez didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Tupiniquins. Valdir Lopez showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Teodoro Teles in the 90th minute of the match. Despite being the better team, Tupiniquins failed to find the winning goal and were forced to settle for a single point.
