Rafa Pitta was frozen by the shot and now it was 0-3. 33 minutes into the match, Yuri Paranaense had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Rafa Pitta. ✪ XV de Umarizal's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Yuri Paranaense was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 0-4.

When Giovanni Pimenta in the 66th play minute got the chance to kick a hard shot on goal from short distance neither the defense or Rafa Pitta kept up with the ball and suddenly the score was 0-6 when the ball slipped into goal inside the left pole. 79 minutes into the game, Sandro Trigo cracked a shot to the right of the goalkeeper, 0-7. Rafa Pitta was not in position, and could only watch the ball fly in.

The match ended with a win for Espigão Steamrollers.
