Spectators: 7443 (Terracing: 5583, Seating: 1712, VIP seats: 148) Mala FC's Washington Berger started the match with a crisp pass. The crowd had been anticipating this game for weeks and the excitement in the stadium was easily visible. If Gogo Lopez had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 7th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. The supporters of EL TITAN M.P. booed when Mala FC was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 8 match minutes in a wonderful position. Maurinho Jacinto didn't get a good kick on the ball. Thanks to some nice foot action and superb ball handling Gogo Lopez in the 9th minute a chance for a shot on goal. With an extended leg and a bit of luck Vladimir Neves prevented the ball from getting in the gole. Washington Bergers short, quick shot in the 12thth minute got Pablo Rutenio to make great effort and bar the ball away from getting in. In the 16th minute Gogo Lopez shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Vladimir Neves saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Gogo Lopez blasted a shot towards the goal in the 19th minute, but the shot hit the top of the crossbar and went out without Vladimir Neves having to make a save. Vladimir Neves took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Gogo Lopez, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Jairo Ler made in the 24th minute of the game a quick throw-in and Gogo Lopez immediately put the ball in play. After some fancy dribbling in the 42nd minute, Gogo Lopez managed to get in a good position for a shot. EL TITAN M.P.'s supporters rose to their feet, but Gogo Lopez was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Vladimir Neves breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. After having played for 43 minutes, Washington Berger managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Mala FC's supporters crossed their fingers, but Washington Berger was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. Guaberto Celino struck a weak shot in the 46th minute. Vladimir Neves didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for EL TITAN M.P.. The first half was very even, with the score at 0-0 when the whistle went for half-time. The players welcomed the break and quickly retired to the dressing rooms.

In the 54th match minute, Mala FC was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Christiano de Souza to maneuver through the defense. Christiano de Souza kicked well hit freekick during the 64th minute of the match. EL TITAN M.P. were clearly unhappy with the draw, as they felt they had done enough to earn themselves a victory.
