Spectators: 7524 (Terracing: 5644, Seating: 1730, VIP seats: 150) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Reynaldo Travassos took the kick off in the first half of the match. Gabriel Travassos made in the 6th minute of the game a fairly good throw-in which was taken care of by Válbson Medeiros. 17 minutes into the game, Ronaldo Guimarães cracked a shot to the right of the goalkeeper, 0-1. Cléber Arantes was not in position, and could only watch the ball fly in. Reynaldo Travassos recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 21st minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. Reynaldo Travassos blasted a shot towards the goal in the 25th minute, but the shot hit the top of the crossbar and went out without Enéas Borges having to make a save. In the 25th minute of the match, Reynaldo Travassos tried to roll the ball into the goal by the right post, but Enéas Borges saw his intentions and got control of the ball before it passed the line. In the 27th minute Bebeto Mendes shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Cléber Arantes saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Enéas Borges made an important save on a dangerous shot by Reynaldo Travassos in the 32nd minute. When Perivaldo Oliveira fell near the penalty area in the 34th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored H4K.BR's protests and gave Perivaldo Oliveira a yellow card for diving instead. The audience was convinced that Ronaldo Guimarães's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Cléber Arantes was relentless in the 36th minute of the game. After 39 minutes H4K.BR's defender was forced to head the ball over the line for a corner. It was Ronaldo Guimarães who took care of the corner kick. The corner led Pesqueira City's Ronaldo Guimarães to fire away a dangerous shot which Cléber Arantes despite some difficulties managed to get hold on the ball. Charles de Mendonça thought of kicking away a contribution in front of goal but messed it up so badly that the ball went to the right of an astonished Cléber Arantes, a very annoying self made goal in the 39th minute which led to 0-2. The crowd was extremely unhappy with the home team's performance in the first half. They were losing 0-2.

When the second half was about to start, both teams quickly lined up and Ronaldo Guimarães made a kick off. H4K.BR's Cléber Arantes proved his good apprehension of play when he, in the 54th minute of the match, managed to save H4K.BR from getting a goal against them. Luizão Pesqueira hit a great freekick 58 minutes into the match. An unexpectedly hard shot by Reynaldo Travassos in the 60th minute of play forced Pesqueira City's goalkeeper Enéas Borges to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. In the 64th minute, Bebeto Mendes made a precise shot to the right of Cléber Arantes. H4K.BR's defense was at fault, and the scoreboard reflected the new score, 0-3. 67 minutes into the match, H4K.BR's goalkeeper Cléber Arantes had to clear away a ball on his right side after a cunning shot by Ronaldo Guimarães. The throw-in from Orlando Ortiz in the 73rd minute of the game was unfortunally taken care of by H4K.BR's Rodriguinho Cavalcante. If Reynaldo Travassos had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 74th minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. An unexpectedly hard shot by Reynaldo Travassos in the 74th minute of play forced Pesqueira City's goalkeeper Enéas Borges to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Adrianinho Carneiro charged in rather forcefully in the 80th minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Adrianinho Carneiro the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. Adrianinho Carneiro hit a great freekick 80 minutes into the match. Elano Ortiz was astounded when the referee showed him the red card after a seemingly innocent challenge, 90 minutes into the match. 92 minutes into the match, Luizão Pesqueira notched a goal, 0-4, to the right of H4K.BR's Cléber Arantes. Cléber Arantes was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. In the 94th minute, Ronaldo Guimarães ran past the defenders and hit a shot which went straight ahead into goal. Cléber Arantes was frozen by the shot and now it was 0-5.
