Giovani Moura recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 13th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. Diamantino Machado kicked well hit freekick during the 40th minute of the match. After the first half the score was level. The break gave the players a chance to catch their breath, whilst the managers went over the tactics with them again.

The players of the home team were most fresh-looking when they entered the field to play the second half. Giovani Moura was the one to do the kick off. If Laércio Novaes had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 68th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Manoel Vianna 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.
