In the 12th minute, Gláuber Valladares 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. If Chico Branco had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 15th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead.

Chico Branco scored 0-1 in the 34th match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Lenílson Mendonça, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. Ronaldinho Faria was in the perfect position, and the defense had done a good job marking him, but Agenor Mesquita showcased his skills and made a perfect shot to score 1-1 in the 43 minute of play. After some careless play in the Furados FC defense, Gláuber Valladares kicked a shot that curved into the net to the right of Lenílson Mendonça. The Furados FC fans voiced their displeasure as they felt that Lenílson Mendonça should have stopped the shot.

The hometeam waved at the audience when it was time for Gláuber Valladares to strike the kick off in the second half. Váldson Cosme's late challenge caught a Furados FC's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Váldson Cosme helped the player get up and apologised. In the 56th minute, one of Itabi:s players had the ball in front of the goal but got pushed and fell. The referee felt it was an obvious case and blew a penalty for Itabi.

When Conrado Cearense fell near the penalty area in the 70th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Furados FC's protests and gave Conrado Cearense a yellow card for diving instead. After a rather tough play, Furados FC's Conrado Cearense got a free kick in the 70th minute. The supporters of Furados FC booed when Itabi was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 71 match minutes in a wonderful position. Gláuber Valladares didn't get a good kick on the ball.

Chico Branco succeeded to score despite a near miss that spronge from right pole into the goal to 2-3 in the 89th playminute.

Edmundo de Alcântara ran back to his position shaking his head.
