Spectators: 5000 (Terracing: 4000, Seating: 1000, VIP seats: 0) The sun was shining, the grass was green and the audience cheered when Wellington Tasso got the match started through his kick off. Andrézinho Dracena showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Wellington Tasso, who was totally free with the ball in the 4th minute. Wellington Tasso blasted a shot towards the goal in the 13th minute, but the shot hit the top of the crossbar and went out without Andrézinho Dracena having to make a save. The Salgueiro fans' excitement grew in the 18th match minute when Salgueiro's Wellington Tasso looked to have a clear shot with the ball near the goal. The shot wasn't hard, but the ball still rolled over the goal line to make it 0-1 before the goalkeeper had a chance to intervene. After a rather tough play, SKINAS M.V.'s Frédson Abreu got a free kick in the 24th minute. In the 33rd minute, Frédson Abreu hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. After having played for 39 minutes, Arlindo Gomes managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Salgueiro's supporters crossed their fingers, but Arlindo Gomes was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. Wellington Tasso might have been able to make a better finish in the 40th minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Andrézinho Dracena. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Wellington Tasso ran back to his position shaking his head. In the 43rd minute, Allan Batista 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. Even after changing tactics the home team jogged off the field with a 0-2 deficit. They would have to work harder if they wanted to turn things around in the second half.

The players of the away team seemed most concentrated when Raphael Proença stepped up to make the kick off in the second half. Wellington Tasso sent away a hard shot on goal in the 55th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Arlindo Gomes received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 62nd minute. Andrézinho Dracena tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Arlindo Gomes struck a weak shot in the 65th minute. Andrézinho Dracena didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Salgueiro. Wellington Tasso fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 68th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Andrézinho Dracena having to interfere. 70 minutes into the match, Salgueiro's goal looked a bit too open when Ian Linares came free, but Célio Sena reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. 70 minutes into the match, Ian Linares had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Célio Sena. Salgueiro's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Ian Linares was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 1-3. After 73 played minutes, SKINAS M.V.'s Alfredinho de Mendonça shot from a long distance, and at first it looked like the ball was going into the goal, but the goalkeeper Célio Sena came through and got his fingers on the ball before it flew over the goal line. He then quickly gripped the ball tighter before the forwards in SKINAS M.V. reached it. In the 77thth minute of the game Wellington Tasso who was perfectly placed tried to make a shot on goal, but SKINAS M.V.'s Andrézinho Dracena was lucky and managed to grab hold of the ball. If Arlindo Gomes had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 78th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. The Salgueiro fans' excitement grew in the 80th match minute when Salgueiro's Wellington Tasso looked to have a clear shot with the ball near the goal. The shot wasn't hard, but the ball still rolled over the goal line to make it 1-4 before the goalkeeper had a chance to intervene. Thanks to some nice foot action and superb ball handling Wellington Tasso in the 84th minute a chance for a shot on goal. With an extended leg and a bit of luck Andrézinho Dracena prevented the ball from getting in the gole. Wellington Tasso's shot when he came free in front of the goal in the 88thth minute, Andrézinho Dracena skillfully showed off with a save to what seemed to be an obvious goal. Wellington Tassos short, quick shot in the 90thth minute got Andrézinho Dracena to make great effort and bar the ball away from getting in. When the final whistle sounded Salgueiro left the ground with the victory after a much better performance than SKINAS M.V..
