The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. After having played for 9 minutes, Ciro das Neves managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal.

Armandinho Carvalho fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 12th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without João Adolfo Cordeiro having to interfere. In the 23rd minute of the match Maurício Duarte shot from a long distance. The ball could have gone into the goal to the right of the goalkeeper, but Yan Soeiro showed his good shape when he easily got hold of the ball. Anderson Zanette hit a great freekick 24 minutes into the match. Yan Soeiro showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Ciro das Neves, who was totally free with the ball in the 27th minute. If Armandinho Carvalho had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 28th minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. In the 31st minute Ciro das Neves shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Yan Soeiro saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. With his leg Yan Soeiro managed to avoid a goal in the 37thth minute, when Mucuna AD's Felipe da Costa fired away a shot with a lot of spin towards his right hand side. Forkcity F. C.'s Yan Soeiro played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Ciro das Neves in the 39th minute of play. 43 minutes into the match, Forkcity F. C.'s goal looked a bit too open when Ciro das Neves came free, but Yan Soeiro reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. No-one was surprised that the home team were leading 1-0 at half-time.

Dráuzio de Queiroz hit a great freekick 52 minutes into the match. In the 58th minute the ball was on its way in behind Forkcity F. C.'s goalkeeper Yan Soeiro, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. After some careless play in the Forkcity F. C. defense, Felipe da Costa kicked a shot that curved into the net to the right of Yan Soeiro. The Forkcity F. C. fans voiced their displeasure as they felt that Yan Soeiro should have stopped the shot. Abelardo Varela recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 78th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. João Adolfo Cordeiro made an important save on a dangerous shot by Armandinho Carvalho in the 79th minute. In the 87th minute, Zé Roberto Cunha hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. In the 92ndth minute of the game Samuca Dante who was perfectly placed tried to make a shot on goal, but Forkcity F. C.'s Yan Soeiro was lucky and managed to grab hold of the ball. An unexpectedly hard shot by Felipe da Costa in the 93rd minute of play forced Forkcity F. C.'s goalkeeper Yan Soeiro to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Ciro das Neves struck a weak shot in the 95th minute. Yan Soeiro didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Mucuna AD.
