The audience thought a goal was coming when Guilherme Goiano got free with Murilo Alvarenga in the 7th minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort.

After some fancy dribbling in the 19th minute, Doriva Toledo managed to get in a good position for a shot.

Juvenal Linares breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. Ronaldinho Leme struck a weak shot in the 27th minute. Juvenal Linares didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Sevilha EC.

Juvenal Linares made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Doriva Toledo in the 30th minute of play. If Benê Queirós had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 33rd minute.

Sevilha EC were winning 0-1.

The players of the away team seemed most concentrated when Doriva Toledo stepped up to make the kick off in the second half. An unexpectedly hard shot by Guilherme Goiano in the 55th minute of play forced Sevilha EC's goalkeeper Murilo Alvarenga to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball.
