Spectators: 7239 (Terracing: 5431, Seating: 1665, VIP seats: 143) The mood of the audience was pleasant when Marcos de Alcântara made the kick off which started today's match. 8 minutes into the match, Luverdense Esporte Clube's goal looked a bit too open when Paulo Dionísio came free, but Manoel da Mata reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. In the 13th minute, Augusto Bastos hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Marcos de Alcântara sent away a hard shot on goal in the 17th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. After a defensive mix-up in Luverdense Esporte Clube's zone, Augusto Bastos stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Manoel da Mata came out of the goal and Augusto Bastos tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. 23 minutes into the match, Norberto Breckenfeld had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Manoel da Mata. Luverdense Esporte Clube's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Norberto Breckenfeld was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 0-1. Marcos de Alcântara struck a weak shot in the 29th minute. Edmílson Ceresso didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Luverdense Esporte Clube. In the 33rd minute, Norberto Breckenfeld ran past the defenders and hit a shot which went straight ahead into goal. Manoel da Mata was frozen by the shot and now it was 0-2. Luverdense Esporte Clube's Manoel da Mata played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Paulo Dionísio in the 37th minute of play. Paulo Dionísio fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 39th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Manoel da Mata having to interfere. Norberto Breckenfeld sent away a hard shot on goal in the 41st minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. 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 wind increased when Norberto Breckenfeld made the kick off in the second half. Valério Quintal sent away a hard shot on goal in the 53rd minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Paulo Dionísio sent away a hard shot on goal in the 65th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Marcos de Alcântara received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 70th minute. Edmílson Ceresso tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. If Paulo Dionísio had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 75th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Manoel da Mata took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Norberto Breckenfeld, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Augusto Bastos blasted a shot towards the goal in the 81st minute, but the shot hit the top of the crossbar and went out without Manoel da Mata having to make a save. Gigante's Paulo Dionísio got a good chance for a goal in the 90th minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. Edmílson Ceresso made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Marcos de Alcântara in the 92nd minute of play. The Luverdense Esporte Clube fans had already started to leave before the final whistle blew. Gigante were clearly better and deserved to take the win.
