Spectators: 7232 (Terracing: 5426, Seating: 1663, VIP seats: 143) The mood of the audience was pleasant when Josué Vidal made the kick off which started today's match. Ernani Barbosa struck a weak shot in the 3rd minute. Víktor Marques didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Manchester United. Luisão de Sena received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 6th minute. Raimundo da Mata tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. In the 8th minute Sidnei Pereira shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Raimundo da Mata saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Manchester United's Raimundo da Mata played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Sidnei Pereira in the 10th minute of play. 13 minutes into the game, Luisão de Sena cracked a shot to the right of the goalkeeper, 1-0. Raimundo da Mata was not in position, and could only watch the ball fly in. 1º de Maio Futebol Clube's Víktor Marques played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Ernani Barbosa in the 16th minute of play.

After 23 minutes of play, 1º de Maio Futebol Clube's Fernandão da Mata made it 2-1 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Raimundo da Mata was left in no man's land by his defense there! If Sidnei Pereira had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 26th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Luisão de Sena blasted a shot towards the goal in the 28th minute, but the shot hit the top of the crossbar and went out without Raimundo da Mata having to make a save. 1º de Maio Futebol Clube's Víktor Marques played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Ernani Barbosa in the 33rd minute of play.

Luisão de Sena could have scored with his fast shot on goal in the 45th minute of the match, but Raimundo da Mata made a huge save. Sidnei Pereira was extremely unlucky when he, in the 47th minute, took a shot that hit the right post and went out.

The players of the home team were most fresh-looking when they entered the field to play the second half. Ernani Barbosa was the one to do the kick off. With a little luck, 1º de Maio Futebol Clube's Víktor Marques got control of the ball when Richard Ceresso tried to sneak it across the goal line. In the 66th minute Luisão de Sena shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Raimundo da Mata saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. When Vágner Luz fell near the penalty area in the 71st minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Manchester United's protests and gave Vágner Luz a yellow card for diving instead. The supporters of 1º de Maio Futebol Clube booed when Manchester United was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 71 match minutes in a wonderful position. Vágner Luz didn't get a good kick on the ball. Sidnei Pereira sent away a hard shot on goal in the 74th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. 1º de Maio Futebol Clube's Luisão de Sena got a good chance for a goal in the 77th minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. Richard Ceresso could have scored with his fast shot on goal in the 79th minute of the match, but Víktor Marques made a huge save. 81 minutes had been played when some careless play by 1º de Maio Futebol Clube's defense caused the ball to cross the line for a corner. Samuca Ramos was slow to take the kick. During this time Manchester United's players had a chance to rest. Samuca Ramos made a great header on Manchester United's corner, it was just that 1º de Maio Futebol Clube's Víktor Marques managed to reach the ball for a save. Richard Novaes could have scored with his fast shot on goal in the 85th minute of the match, but Víktor Marques made a huge save.

Marco Andrade was astounded when the referee showed him the red card after a seemingly innocent challenge, 93 minutes into the match. After some careless play in the 1º de Maio Futebol Clube defense, Samuca Ramos kicked a shot that curved into the net to the right of Víktor Marques. The 1º de Maio Futebol Clube fans voiced their displeasure as they felt that Víktor Marques should have stopped the shot. In the 100th minute, Richard Ceresso reached a very good position and smashed the ball with a huge effort into the net, just to the left of Víktor Marques. The goal made the score 3-3.
