After 11 played minutes Boliche SC got a freekick which was hit by Dorival Alves. When Emílio Novaes came up free with the goalie in the 14th minute, the Apody fans jumped to their feet. But the shot missed the goal by a fraction of an inch, and the fans sat back down disappointed that Emílio Novaes couldn't finish the play. When Apody's Evandro Gomes in the 16th minute got a chance for a shot 16th didn't hesitate and placed the ball to the right of the goalie. A beautiful save bye Boliche SC's goalie prevented a goal.

Apody were awarded a corner in the 46th minute after Boliche SC's defender lost control of the ball, allowing it to roll out over the line. Válter de Carvalho took the corner. Apody's Válter de Carvalho was first on the ball when the corner was shot and he dangerously headed the ball towards goal, but Silas Carneiro in the goal jumped up to prevent it from getting in. Emílio Novaes recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 48th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. After the first half the score was level. The break gave the players a chance to catch their breath, whilst the managers went over the tactics with them again.

The players of the away team seemed most concentrated when Evandro Gomes stepped up to make the kick off in the second half. Boliche SC's Silas Carneiro played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Evandro Gomes in the 54th minute of play. In the 56th minute, Evandro Gomes got an opportunity to score, but he didn't get a solid hit on the ball and ended up kicking it wide of the goal. Claudinho Pimenta's shot was meant for the net just under the crossbar, but Silas Carneiro read the situation well and was quickly in position to make a wonderful save in the 58th minute of play.
