After a rather tough play, S.C. Eagles Fire's Paulo José Barros got a free kick in the 5th minute.

Emílio Veloso showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Célio Brasil in the 12th minute of the match. Zé Roberto Marinho scored 0-1 in the 15th match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Paulo Dantas, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. S.C. Eagles Fire's Paulo Dantas played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Zé Roberto Marinho in the 25th minute of play.

Eagles Fire's protests and gave Célio Brasil a yellow card for diving instead. Célio Brasil hit a great freekick 31 minutes into the match. Célio Brasil sent away a hard shot on goal in the 40th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance.
