Spectators: 161 (Terracing: 121, Seating: 37, VIP seats: 3) The mood of the audience was pleasant when Luiz Fábio Lima made the kick off which started today's match. After 6 minutes of play, TAQUARI FC's Adriano Soares made it 0-1 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Nestor Carioca was left in no man's land by his defense there! In the 11th minute, Barrenta SC's Yuri Alberto ran free of his marker and smoothly shot the ball into the goal behind Sílvio Zonta. Sílvio Zonta yelled at his defense, as they had left him out to dry. 1-1. In the 13th match minute, Barrenta SC was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Hernani Couto to maneuver through the defense. Sílvio Zonta didn't have a chance when a screaming shot from Luiz Fábio Lima went, in the 16th minute, to the upper right corner, 2-1 was the resulting score. Sílvio Zonta showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Luiz Fábio Lima, who was totally free with the ball in the 23rd minute. Nestor Carioca showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Valdir Peres, who was totally free with the ball in the 24th minute. Barrenta SC's Nestor Carioca played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Adriano Soares in the 32nd minute of play. In the 33rd minute Luís Paulo França shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Nestor Carioca saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. After a rather tough play, Barrenta SC's João Augusto Nunes got a free kick in the 35th minute. An unexpectedly hard shot by Adalberto Damião in the 35th minute of play forced Barrenta SC's goalkeeper Nestor Carioca to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. After 39 played minutes Barrenta SC got a freekick which was hit by Hernani Couto. In the 42nd minute, Adriano Soares ran past the defenders and hit a shot which went straight ahead into goal. Nestor Carioca was frozen by the shot and now it was 2-2. In the 44th minute, João Augusto Nunes hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. After some fancy dribbling in the 45th minute, Luís Paulo França managed to get in a good position for a shot. TAQUARI FC's supporters rose to their feet, but Luís Paulo França was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Nestor Carioca breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. After the first half the score was level. The break gave the players a chance to catch their breath, whilst the managers went over the tactics with them again.

The players of the away team seemed most concentrated when Felipe Queiroz stepped up to make the kick off in the second half. Felipe Queiroz might have been able to make a better finish in the 52nd minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Nestor Carioca. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Felipe Queiroz ran back to his position shaking his head. Luís Paulo França could have scored with his fast shot on goal in the 54th minute of the match, but Nestor Carioca made a huge save. In the 56th minute, João Augusto Nunes hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. If Yuri Alberto had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 64th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. 68 minutes into the match, Yuri Alberto notched a goal, 3-2, to the right of TAQUARI FC's Sílvio Zonta. Sílvio Zonta was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. The supporters of Barrenta SC booed when TAQUARI FC was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 82 match minutes in a wonderful position. Durvalino de Amaral didn't get a good kick on the ball. A collision led to TAQUARI FC getting a freekick after 84 minutes play. Valdir Peres hit a great ball. The audience was convinced that Adriano Soares's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Nestor Carioca was relentless in the 91st minute of the game. Angelo Cabral kicked well hit freekick during the 93rd minute of the match. After some careless play in the TAQUARI FC defense, Yuri Alberto kicked a shot that curved into the net to the right of Sílvio Zonta. The TAQUARI FC fans voiced their displeasure as they felt that Sílvio Zonta should have stopped the shot. For all the effort they put into the match, the TAQUARI FC players left disappointed. They had fought hard, but couldn't break down the home team's defense. The match ended in a win for Barrenta SC.
