Spectators: 5000 (Terracing: 4000, Seating: 1000, VIP seats: 0) The mood of the audience was pleasant when Lino Carneiro made the kick off which started today's match. Evaristo Falcão was really disappointed when he shot the ball just outside the right post instead of scoring a goal in the 3rd minute. Grêmio F.B.P.A's manager could be seen on the sidelines shaking his head and muttering to himself as his team had just wasted another chance. With his leg Jorginho Prata managed to avoid a goal in the 5thth minute, when Grêmio F.B.P.A's Oscar Trigo fired away a shot with a lot of spin towards his right hand side. Hernani Veiga charged in rather forcefully in the 8th minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down.

Jorginho Prata didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Grêmio F.B.P.A. Jorginho Prata took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Evaristo Falcão, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Oscar Trigo sent away a hard shot on goal in the 23rd minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. If Oscar Trigo had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 26th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. After 28 minutes of play, Valente FC's Léo de Souza made it 1-1 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net.
