Spectators: 33 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Emanuel Gomes took the kick off in the first half of the match. A collision led to Guacu getting a freekick after 2 minutes play. Walmyr Luz hit a great ball. 7 minutes into the match, Emanuel Gomes had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Naldo Bueno.

An unexpectedly hard shot by Delfim Lago in the 24th minute of play forced Margarida's goalkeeper Naldo Bueno to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. If Benjamim Negri had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 31st minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. The audience was convinced that Emanuel Gomes's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Naldo Bueno was relentless in the 35th minute of the game.

A wasted opportunity for Guacu. 72 minutes in the game, Delfim Lago fired away an excellent shot, which passed to the side of the right post without Naldo Bueno having to interfere.

Naldo Bueno made an important save on a dangerous shot by Delfim Lago in the 81st minute. After having played for 83 minutes, Delfim Lago managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Guacu's supporters crossed their fingers, but Delfim Lago was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. With a little luck, Margarida's Naldo Bueno got control of the ball when Delfim Lago tried to sneak it across the goal line. Guacu played a much better game than Margarida and deserved their victory. The Margarida players were clearly disappointed as they left the ground.
