Spectators: 169 (Terracing: 127, Seating: 39, VIP seats: 3) Grêmio RK75's Harold Tronconi 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. Fabrício Lustosa's shot was meant for the net just under the crossbar, but João Francisco Tinoco read the situation well and was quickly in position to make a wonderful save in the 3rd minute of play. In the 4th minute the ball was on its way in behind Grêmio RK75's goalkeeper João Francisco Tinoco, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. An unexpectedly hard shot by Fabrício Lustosa in the 10th minute of play forced Grêmio RK75's goalkeeper João Francisco Tinoco to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Academia Monte Gordo's Pascual Mouricio quite brazenly broke a throw-in by Rodrigo Abraão, made in the 12th minute of the game. If Fabrício Lustosa had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 12th minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead.
