After some fancy dribbling in the 4th minute, Thiago Teles managed to get in a good position for a shot. Fluminense di Parma's supporters rose to their feet, but Thiago Teles was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post.

In the 25th minute, Thiago Teles 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. 27 minutes into the match, Fluminense di Parma's goal looked a bit too open when Jano Castro came free, but André Tepedino reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. 39 minutes into the match, Edgard Novaes notched a goal, 1-0, to the right of Real Fantasma's Rômulo Moreno.

In the 44th minute, Tiago Silvar hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Décio de Brito took the ball and in the 47 minute, shot a rapid shot to the right of a surprised André Tepedino.

Tiago Silvar hit a great freekick 89 minutes into the match. A hard shot 91 in the game by Décio de Brito from a close distance when the talented André Tepedino managed to make a qualified save.

Neither set of supporters seemed pleased with the draw, but both teams had played equally well today.
