The Nautilus fans were clearly happy with the effort and the scoreboard reflected the new score: 1-0. In the 18th minute Erubiel Jusepe shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Gil de Medeiros saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line.

Gil de Medeiros took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Erubiel Jusepe, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. The supporters of Nautilus booed when CA INCAS was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 34 match minutes in a wonderful position. Feliciano Licerio didn't get a good kick on the ball. Gil de Medeiros showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Erubiel Jusepe, who was totally free with the ball in the 38th minute. 42 minutes into the match, Nautilus's goal looked a bit too open when Erubiel Jusepe came free, but Gil de Medeiros reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line.
