Dinei Lopez started the match with the kick off. Eriberto Tande recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 6th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. The long shot by Jean Prado in the 15th minute really tested Luiz Fernando Luz's skills. The ball was on its way into the goal to the left of him when he managed to stretch himself and save the shot and avoid a goal.

An unexpectedly hard shot by Hélder Xavier in the 39th minute of play forced Comandante's goalkeeper Luiz Fernando Luz to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball.

Dinei Lopez sent away a hard shot on goal in the 52nd minute, but the ball hit the crossbar and went out. A very good chance for a goal.

The referee showed Amadeu Valladares the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. 92 minutes in the game, the ball went up into the seats when Macaiba SC's Hélder Xavier fired away a shot that was just a little bit too high. He walked away shaking his head. After some fancy dribbling in the 95th minute, Eriberto Tande managed to get in a good position for a shot. Macaiba SC's supporters rose to their feet, but Eriberto Tande was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Luiz Fernando Luz breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. Comandante's Luiz Fernando Luz played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Hélder Xavier in the 97th minute of play. The Comandante players were the happier at the end of the match as they had prevented Macaiba SC from taking control. The game ends in a draw.
