Spectators: 7180 (Terracing: 5457, Seating: 1673, VIP seats: 50) The sun was shining, the grass was green and the audience cheered when Jacinto Paraense got the match started through his kick off. Américo Penha struck a weak shot in the 2nd minute. Manoel Catarinense didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Cotipora.

Oswaldo Tinoco could have scored with his fast shot on goal in the 22nd minute of the match, but Antônio Simão made a huge save.

When the match had gone on for 33 minutes, Jacinto Paraense put it in 1-2 from a short distance just to the right of Manoel Catarinense. Jacinto Paraense might have been able to make a better finish in the 38th minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Manoel Catarinense. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Jacinto Paraense ran back to his position shaking his head. 40 minutes into the match, Víktor Sena had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Manoel Catarinense. Caixa Prego SC's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Víktor Sena was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 1-3. Manoel Catarinense took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Jacinto Paraense, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Disappointed in the 1-3 score, the home team went to the dressing room to adjust tactics for the second half.

After a defensive mix-up in Caixa Prego SC's zone, Jacinto Paraense stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat.
