In the 6thth minute of the game Edmund Schoettle who was perfectly placed tried to make a shot on goal, but União Verde FC's Bebeto de Salles was lucky and managed to grab hold of the ball.

Zinédine Stoletzky sent away a hard shot on goal in the 8th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. 11 minutes into the match, União Verde FC's goal looked a bit too open when Fulko Schwaderer came free, but Bebeto de Salles reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Bebeto de Salles didn't succeed to prevent the ball from going into goal when Tiger's Fulko Schwaderer shot an unexpected shot in the crossbar's under edge and made 0-1 in the ordered_time% minute. If Zinédine Stoletzky had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 22nd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Agnaldo Tinoco hit a great freekick 34 minutes into the match. After a defensive mix-up in União Verde FC's zone, Hartmut Weidenhammer stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat.

After 77 played minutes, União Verde FC's Gil Paiva shot from a long distance, and at first it looked like the ball was going into the goal, but the goalkeeper Kristian Willem Neuling came through and got his fingers on the ball before it flew over the goal line. He then quickly gripped the ball tighter before the forwards in União Verde FC reached it. With his leg Bebeto de Salles managed to avoid a goal in the 80thth minute, when Tiger's Ken Raus fired away a shot with a lot of spin towards his right hand side. The supporters of Tiger booed when União Verde FC was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 85 match minutes in a wonderful position. Gilvan Pombal didn't get a good kick on the ball. Edmund Schoettle sent away a hard shot on goal in the 93rd minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance.
