Spectators: 7331 (Terracing: 5500, Seating: 1686, VIP seats: 145) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Lauro de Barros started the match with the kick off. In the 5th minute Lauro de Barros shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Horácio Peres saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Horácio Peres didn't have a chance when a screaming shot from Fabinho Fernandes went, in the 12th minute, to the upper right corner, 1-1 was the resulting score. An unexpectedly hard shot by Romário Marques in the 15th minute of play forced TUBARÃO DIGITAL's goalkeeper Carlos Neto to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. A collision led to TUBARÃO DIGITAL getting a freekick after 17 minutes play. Lauro de Barros hit a great ball. The supporters of TUBARÃO DIGITAL booed when Tunui was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 19 match minutes in a wonderful position. Kléber Garcia didn't get a good kick on the ball. With a couple of smart ball manuevers Kléber Garcia in the 26th managed to get into a good position. With a left leg Carlos Neto saved TUBARÃO DIGITAL from getting behind. 1-2 became the score in the 33rd minute when Kléber Garcia elegantly shot the ball into goal just under the crossbar. When Fabinho Fernandes came up free with the goalie in the 36th minute, the TUBARÃO DIGITAL fans jumped to their feet. But the shot missed the goal by a fraction of an inch, and the fans sat back down disappointed that Fabinho Fernandes couldn't finish the play. In the 41stth minute of the game Romário Marques who was perfectly placed tried to make a shot on goal, but TUBARÃO DIGITAL's Carlos Neto was lucky and managed to grab hold of the ball. The long shot by Henrique Quintal in the 43rd minute really tested Horácio Peres's skills. The ball was on its way into the goal to the left of him when he managed to stretch himself and save the shot and avoid a goal. Disappointed in the 1-2 score, the home team went to the dressing room to adjust tactics for the second half.

The players of the home team were most fresh-looking when they entered the field to play the second half. Romário Marques was the one to do the kick off. After a rather tough play, TUBARÃO DIGITAL's Cauã Peixoto got a free kick in the 53rd minute. Kléber Garcia was really disappointed when he shot the ball just outside the right post instead of scoring a goal in the 54th minute. Tunui's manager could be seen on the sidelines shaking his head and muttering to himself as his team had just wasted another chance. The audience was convinced that Romário Marques's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Carlos Neto was relentless in the 57th minute of the game. Kléber Garcia received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 59th minute. Carlos Neto tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Romário Marques sent away a hard shot on goal in the 63rd minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. With a little luck, TUBARÃO DIGITAL's Carlos Neto got control of the ball when Kléber Garcia tried to sneak it across the goal line. After 66 played minutes TUBARÃO DIGITAL got a freekick which was hit by Váldson Amaral. In the 67th minute, Kléber Garcia 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. In the 68th minute, Váldson Amaral hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Cléberson Recife kicked well hit freekick during the 74th minute of the match. Romário Marques might have been able to make a better finish in the 77th minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Carlos Neto. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Romário Marques ran back to his position shaking his head. With his leg Carlos Neto managed to avoid a goal in the 86thth minute, when Tunui's Kléber Garcia fired away a shot with a lot of spin towards his right hand side. 89 minutes into the match, TUBARÃO DIGITAL's goal looked a bit too open when Romário Marques came free, but Carlos Neto reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Romário Marques struck a weak shot in the 91st minute. Carlos Neto didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Tunui. If Romário Marques had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 93rd minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. Kléber Garcia sent away a hard shot on goal in the 96th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. The TUBARÃO DIGITAL fans had already started to leave before the final whistle blew. Tunui were clearly better and deserved to take the win.
