Spectators: 5000 (Terracing: 4000, Seating: 1000, VIP seats: 0) The sun was shining, the grass was green and the audience cheered when Armandinho Tróia got the match started through his kick off. An unexpectedly hard shot by Danilo Vieira in the 5th minute of play forced Alharponi's goalkeeper Tião Leão to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. 6 minutes in the game, the ball went up into the seats when CR Ryzers's Ademar Monteiro fired away a shot that was just a little bit too high. He walked away shaking his head. 8 minutes into the match, CR Ryzers's goal looked a bit too open when Vinícius Paraense came free, but Geovanni Veloso reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. In the 14th minute, Ademar Monteiro 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. Ademar Monteiro's shot straight on target was not completely harmless. The ball had pretty good speed, but Tião Leão firmly grabbed it by the left post. The referee was alert and spotted a serious foul by Oscar Seco during the 19th minute. The player immediately received a yellow card. After some careless play in the Alharponi defense, Ademar Monteiro kicked a shot that curved into the net to the right of Tião Leão.

Geovanni Veloso took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Armandinho Tróia, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Beto Prado charged in rather forcefully in the 32nd minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Beto Prado the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. The supporters of CR Ryzers booed when Alharponi was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 32 match minutes in a wonderful position. Beto Prado didn't get a good kick on the ball. Vinícius Paraense recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 39th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. Ademar Monteiro came free with the goalkeeper in the 45th minute of the match, and shot straight on target. The shot was a little too simple and Tião Leão could save by the left post. In the 47th match minute, CR Ryzers was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Marcelo Barros to maneuver through the defense. In the 48th minute, Genílson Melo sent off a long shot on goal, but the shot was nowhere near the goal and CR Ryzers's Geovanni Veloso didn't even have to move. When the referee blew for the end of the half the home team players were clearly happier, as they went in to the break leading 1-0.

After 53 minutes of play Alharponi's Beto Prado was too eager in his attempt to stop his opponent and brought him down. With that he got his second yellow card and was ordered off the ground.

In the 70th minute, Jacinto de Sena hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Geovanni Veloso made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Oscar Seco in the 73rd minute of play. The audience was convinced that Danilo Vieira's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Tião Leão was relentless in the 81st minute of the game. If Danilo Vieira had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 83rd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead.
