Corey Taylor's shot straight on target was not completely harmless. The ball had pretty good speed, but Paul Christini firmly grabbed it by the left post. After 71 minutes, 苞 made it 2-2 with a short kick to the right side. Edson Futebol Clube's Paul Christini tried to save the shot but he was too slow in reacting to the shot. 76 minutes had been played when some careless play by Edson Futebol Clube's defense caused the ball to cross the line for a corner. 苞 was slow to take the kick. During this time Gone With the Win's players had a chance to rest. After some careless play in the Edson Futebol Clube defense, Alan Everett kicked a shot that curved into the net to the right of Paul Christini. The Edson Futebol Clube fans voiced their displeasure as they felt that Paul Christini should have stopped the shot.

When the final whistle sounded Gone With the Win left the ground with the victory after a much better performance than Edson Futebol Clube.
