Spectators: 32 (Terracing: 25, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) Eugênio Velasco scored 0-1 in the 7th match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Cristian de Amorim, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. A collision led to Nova Esperança Soccer getting a freekick after 12 minutes play. Nuno Ferraz hit a great ball. If Adilson Tavares had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 20th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Adilson Tavares recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 29th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. After 34 minutes of play, Macaé esporte clube's Júlio Pinho made it 0-2 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Cristian de Amorim was left in no man's land by his defense there! After a rather tough play, Macaé esporte clube's Bruninho Costa got a free kick in the 42nd minute. 43 minutes into the match, Nova Esperança Soccer's Durval Rossi broke free and took a long shot that unfortunately flew wide. A fine initiative that could have resulted in a goal. Even after changing tactics the home team jogged off the field with a 0-2 deficit. They would have to work harder if they wanted to turn things around in the second half.

Eugênio Velasco who was well placed in front of the goal fired away a dangerous shot that in the 52ndth minute tested the skills of Cristian de Amorim when he managed to save the team from getting behind. The audience was convinced that Eugênio Velasco's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Cristian de Amorim was relentless in the 53rd minute of the game. Adilson Tavares received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 58th minute. Valdo Lara tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. In the 68th minute, Serginho Cabral hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. After a defensive mix-up in Nova Esperança Soccer's zone, Eugênio Velasco stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat.
