With an all-out effort, Benevenuto's Denílson Gonçalves threw himself towards the right post 47 minutes into the match and grabbed hold of the ball from Délio Mazza, which otherwise would have been placed in the net.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Osmar de Barros to make the kick off.
