Spectators: 161 (Terracing: 121, Seating: 37, VIP seats: 3) The mood of the audience was pleasant when Pedrinho Hoffmann made the kick off which started today's match. 7 minutes into the match, Luiz Paulo Meirelles had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Oswaldo Paraíba. Atlético-PR's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Luiz Paulo Meirelles was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 0-1. Oswaldo Paraíba showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Gabriel Vidal, who was totally free with the ball in the 23rd minute. In the 28th minute, Pedrinho Hoffmann ran past the defenders and hit a shot which went straight ahead into goal. Caio da Costa was frozen by the shot and now it was 2-1. In the 30th minute, Ambrosio Rayman 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. Pedrinho Hoffmann scored 3-1 in the 32nd match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Caio da Costa, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. In the 37th minute, Tony Passos hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Caio da Costa showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Ambrosio Rayman in the 40th minute of the match. Hong Jian Fan sent away a hard shot on goal in the 42nd minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. 43 minutes into the match, Abutres 2003 FDP's goalkeeper Caio da Costa had to clear away a ball on his right side after a cunning shot by Ambrosio Rayman.

When the second half was about to start, both teams quickly lined up and Gabriel Vidal made a kick off. Caio da Costa took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Hong Jian Fan, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Caio da Costa showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Peng Chao Feng in the 57th minute of the match. Caio da Costa stood for a superb save when he managed to get hold of Donato Sena's shot from short distance in the 63rd minute. In the 67th minute, Hong Jian Fan 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. When Ambrosio Rayman came up free with the goalie in the 74th minute, the Atlético-PR fans jumped to their feet. But the shot missed the goal by a fraction of an inch, and the fans sat back down disappointed that Ambrosio Rayman couldn't finish the play. 75 minutes into the match, Abutres 2003 FDP's goal looked a bit too open when Ambrosio Rayman came free, but Caio da Costa reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. 79 minutes into the match, Atlético-PR's Pedrinho Hoffmann sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that Caio da Costa narrowly saved just below the crossbar. Luiz Paulo Meirelles charged in rather forcefully in the 80th minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Luiz Paulo Meirelles the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. Caio da Costa showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Pedrinho Hoffmann, who was totally free with the ball in the 85th minute. It was no surprise that this one had ended in a win for the home team. Atlético-PR had played much better football throughout.
