Spectators: 7487 (Terracing: 5616, Seating: 1722, VIP seats: 149) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Fulgencio Comas took the kick off in the first half of the match. When Fulgencio Comas came up free with the goalie in the 4th minute, the Zebolla FC 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 Fulgencio Comas couldn't finish the play. If Fulgencio Comas had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 7th minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. With a little luck, Zebolla FC's Zacarias Cotes got control of the ball when Andrézinho Magalhães tried to sneak it across the goal line. Zacarias Cotes made an important save on a dangerous shot by Nelson Cearense in the 10th minute. Fulgencio Comas sent away a hard shot on goal in the 11th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. In the 15th minute, Natanael Bittencourt made a precise shot to the right of Zacarias Cotes. Zebolla FC's defense was at fault, and the scoreboard reflected the new score, 1-0. 18 minutes into the match, Ferreira Lopes MZC's goal looked a bit too open when Ángel Cuellar came free, but Filipe Cruz reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Zacarias Cotes showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Paulo Queirós, who was totally free with the ball in the 20th minute. Ferreira Lopes MZC's Filipe Cruz played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Ángel Cuellar in the 22nd minute of play. After a rather tough play, Zebolla FC's Ángel Cuellar got a free kick in the 27th minute. The audience thought a goal was coming when Paulo Queirós got free with Zacarias Cotes in the 31st minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort. Paulo Queirós received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 33rd minute. Zacarias Cotes tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. If Arnoldo Partearroyo had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 34th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. When Fulgencio Comas fell near the penalty area in the 38th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Zebolla FC's protests and gave Fulgencio Comas a yellow card for diving instead. In the 41st minute Andrézinho Magalhães shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Zacarias Cotes saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. 42 minutes into the match, Zebolla FC's goalkeeper Zacarias Cotes had to clear away a ball on his right side after a cunning shot by Paulo Queirós. 46 minutes into the game, Rafinha de Senna recieved a splendid long ball, split the defenders, and gently placed the ball to the left of Zacarias Cotes. Rafinha de Senna showed that you don't have to tear a hole in the net to score, 3-0. All the noise was coming from the home fans when the whistle went for half-time. The home team had fought hardest to put themselves in a deserved lead.

Zebolla FC's Iigo Limofer was substituted for Arnoldo Partearroyo. After some fancy dribbling in the 54th minute, Natanael Bittencourt managed to get in a good position for a shot. Ferreira Lopes MZC's supporters rose to their feet, but Natanael Bittencourt was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Zacarias Cotes breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. 55 minutes into the game, Zacarias Barriobero was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. Zebolla FC's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave Ferreira Lopes MZC the free kick. 75 minutes into the match, Zebolla FC's goal looked a bit too open when Paulo Queirós came free, but Zacarias Cotes reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Zebolla FC made a substitution. Ordono Siles replaced Tiago Durazno. Andrézinho Magalhães took the ball and in the 89 minute, shot a rapid shot to the right of a surprised Zacarias Cotes. Zacarias Cotes dived to the right, and did manage to get a hand on the shot, but it still went into the right corner making it 7-0. Andrézinho Magalhães sent away a hard shot on goal in the 92nd minute, but the ball hit the crossbar and went out. A very good chance for a goal. There were very few away supporters still in the ground by the end of the match. Most of them had left early, disgusted by the way their team had been torn apart. Ferreira Lopes MZC fully deserved thier win.
