Manuel Palmeira charged in rather forcefully in the 7th minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Manuel Palmeira the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. Manuel Palmeira hit a great freekick 7 minutes into the match.

Luiz Fabiano Simão received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 14th minute. Reinaldo Matos tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. After having played for 15 minutes, Beto de Sousa managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Caresalzinho FC's supporters crossed their fingers, but Beto de Sousa was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. An unexpectedly hard shot by Luiz Fabiano Simão in the 22nd minute of play forced Gremio RB's goalkeeper Reinaldo Matos to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. 25 minutes into the game, Renan Quintal was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. Gremio RB's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave Caresalzinho FC the free kick. In the 25th minute, Renan Quintal hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Caresalzinho FC's Orlando Prata couldn't find anyone to pass the ball to, so he shot a long shot towards the goal in the 26th minute. The shot went wide which resulted in a goal kick for Gremio RB. Luiz Fabiano Simão might have been able to make a better finish in the 28th minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Reinaldo Matos. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Luiz Fabiano Simão ran back to his position shaking his head. After 30 played minutes Caresalzinho FC got a freekick which was hit by Manuel Palmeira. An unexpectedly hard shot by Beto de Sousa in the 35th minute of play forced Gremio RB's goalkeeper Reinaldo Matos to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. João Vítor Tavares struck a weak shot in the 46th minute. Mathias Cabral didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Gremio RB.

In the 63rd minute the ball was on its way in behind Caresalzinho FC's goalkeeper Mathias Cabral, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. After a defensive mix-up in Caresalzinho FC's zone, João Vítor Tavares stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Mathias Cabral came out of the goal and João Vítor Tavares tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play.

Luiz Fabiano Simão fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 75th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Reinaldo Matos having to interfere. If Toninho Ferreira had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 79th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. When Kléber Lima fell near the penalty area in the 82nd minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Caresalzinho FC's protests and gave Kléber Lima a yellow card for diving instead. Kléber Lima hit a great freekick 82 minutes into the match. The audience thought a goal was coming when Beto de Sousa got free with Reinaldo Matos in the 87th minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort. When the match clock showed 88 minutes, the score became 1-1 when João Vítor Tavares sped through Caresalzinho FC's defense and sent away a curving shot that went into the net to the right of Mathias Cabral. João Vítor Tavares sent away a hard shot on goal in the 92nd minute, but the ball hit the crossbar and went out. A very good chance for a goal.
