Spectators: 5000 (Terracing: 4000, Seating: 1000, VIP seats: 0) Frechal AD's Pedrão Lopes started the match with a crisp pass. The crowd had been anticipating this game for weeks and the excitement in the stadium was easily visible. After a defensive mix-up in Frechal AD's zone, Serginho Leal stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Didi Cruz came out of the goal and Serginho Leal tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. 4 minutes into the match, Anísio Ribeiro notched a goal, 0-1, to the right of Frechal AD's Didi Cruz. Didi Cruz was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. After having played for 8 minutes, Anísio Ribeiro managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Odono's supporters crossed their fingers, but Anísio Ribeiro was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. The audience was convinced that Serginho Leal's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Didi Cruz was relentless in the 10th minute of the game. An unexpectedly hard shot by Pedrão Lopes in the 13th minute of play forced Odono's goalkeeper Gilson Ortiz to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. The referee was alert and spotted a serious foul by Nildo Domingues during the 14th minute. The player immediately received a yellow card.

A hard shot 22 in the game by Américo Mineiro from a close distance when the talented Gilson Ortiz managed to make a qualified save. Odono's players were relieved. If Serginho Leal had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 25th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead.

In the 38th minute, Dida Ceresso 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.

He then quickly gripped the ball tighter before the forwards in Frechal AD reached it. Disappointed in the 0-1 score, the home team went to the dressing room to adjust tactics for the second half.

The hometeam waved at the audience when it was time for Dida Ceresso to strike the kick off in the second half. Didi Cruz took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Dida Ceresso, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. In the 55th minute Pedrão Lopes shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Gilson Ortiz saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line.
