Spectators: 7482 (Terracing: 5613, Seating: 1720, VIP seats: 149) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Franco Mastantuono started the match with the kick off. After 3 played minutes A.C ALDO BONZI got a freekick which was hit by Ovidio Argina. Elias Goito stood somewhat misplaced when Armando Rosalio came free in front of goal and shot 1-0 to the left of him in the 4 minute. Ramon Tancredo took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Cristian Bembe, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. The referee was alert and spotted a serious foul by Bishen Cholas during the 10th minute. The player immediately received a yellow card. After 10 played minutes Mercado Paulista F.C got a freekick which was hit by Bishen Cholas. Ramon Tancredo came out of the goal in the 12th minute to try and stop a shot by A.C ALDO BONZI's Cristian Bembe. But to his dismay, Cristian Bembe quickly shot the ball in between his legs and into the goal making it 1-1. In the 14th minute, Cristian Bembe ran past the defenders and hit a shot which went straight ahead into goal. Ramon Tancredo was frozen by the shot and now it was 1-2. 17 minutes into the game, A.C ALDO BONZI's Franco Mastantuono nearly tore a hole in the net with a booming shot. Ramon Tancredo made a valiant effort, but he could not reach the ball in time, 1-3. In the 21st minute, Fabricio Tohias hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. After 26 played minutes A.C ALDO BONZI got a freekick which was hit by Genaro Firmo. Mercado Paulista F.C's Ramon Tancredo played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Cristian Bembe in the 40th minute of play. After a rather tough play, Mercado Paulista F.C's Fabricio Tohias got a free kick in the 42nd minute. After some careless play in the Mercado Paulista F.C defense, Cristian Bembe kicked a shot that curved into the net to the right of Ramon Tancredo. The Mercado Paulista F.C fans voiced their displeasure as they felt that Ramon Tancredo should have stopped the shot. Luck had favoured the away team in the first, and they walked off with a 2-5 lead.

The wind increased when Armando Rosalio made the kick off in the second half. Ovidio Argina kicked well hit freekick during the 51st minute of the match. Elias Goito took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Armando Rosalio, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Ramon Tancredo showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Cristian Bembe, who was totally free with the ball in the 60th minute. Albino Asteri sent away a hard shot on goal in the 70th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. A.C ALDO BONZI's Fernando Galindo was substituted for Franco Mastantuono. The referee felt a red card was in order, 73 minutes into the game, when Ovidio Argina put in a rough tackle. In a very dangerous position, a player in A.C ALDO BONZI fell when an opponent tried to get the ball from him in the 73rd minute. Penalty! Elias Goito had in the 75thth minute some difficulties stopping Diego Vargas's well aimed penalty as it nearly passed him on his left side, but he still managed to hold the ball. A.C ALDO BONZI's Fernan Oliveiro managed, thanks to a brazen rush, stole the ball on a throw-in made by Fabricio Tohias in the 77 minute of the game. A throw-in in the 84th minute of the game was made by Inocencio Matai with Diego Vargas as target, who quickly passed the ball forward. After having played for 86 minutes, Jacobo Nicholas managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. A.C ALDO BONZI's supporters crossed their fingers, but Jacobo Nicholas was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. In the 88th minute Ramon Shantala shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Elias Goito saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. When the referee blew the final whistle jeers and boos were heard from the home team's supporters. They were angered to see Mercado Paulista F.C lose a match they had controlled from the kick-off.
