In the 38th minute, Juan Teixeira left the goalkeeper for dead before tapping the ball into the right side of the net.

An unexpectedly hard shot by Davi Queirós in the 57th minute of play forced Higienopolis's goalkeeper Bruninho Motta to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball.

In the 84th minute Juan Teixeira shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Elias Mendes saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. 86 minutes into the match, Higienopolis's goal looked a bit too open when Alexsandro Tróia came free, but Bruninho Motta reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line.
