Spectators: 32 (Terracing: 25, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) In the 6th minute, Estivas EC's José Maria Bastos ran free of his marker and smoothly shot the ball into the goal behind Vitório Senna. Vitório Senna yelled at his defense, as they had left him out to dry. 1-0. Samuel Peres charged in rather forcefully in the 9th minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Samuel Peres the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. Samuel Peres hit a great freekick 10 minutes into the match. In the 13th minute Rafinha de Lima shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Edvaldo Guimarães saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Vitório Senna took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Jardel Moura, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. After some fancy dribbling in the 23rd minute, Rafael Travassos managed to get in a good position for a shot. Estivas EC's supporters rose to their feet, but Rafael Travassos was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Vitório Senna breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. After 25 minutes of play, Estivas EC's Rafael Travassos made it 2-0 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Vitório Senna was left in no man's land by his defense there! Samuel Peres was shown his second yellow card after 28 minutes, following a rather ugly tackle on opponent. That was the end of his participation in the match. After 29 played minutes Estivas EC got a freekick which was hit by Samuel Peres. After a defensive mix-up in Uomaloli AD's zone, Rafael Travassos stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Vitório Senna came out of the goal and Rafael Travassos tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. When Rafael Travassos came up free with the goalie in the 34th minute, the Estivas EC fans jumped to their feet. But the shot missed the goal by a fraction of an inch, and the fans sat back down disappointed that Rafael Travassos couldn't finish the play. 38 minutes into the match, Uomaloli AD's goalkeeper Vitório Senna had to clear away a ball on his right side after a cunning shot by José Maria Bastos. Benê Meireles fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 40th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Edvaldo Guimarães having to interfere. All the noise was coming from the home fans when the whistle went for half-time. The home team had fought hardest to put themselves in a deserved lead.

The wind increased when Rafinha de Lima made the kick off in the second half. Thanks to some nice foot action and superb ball handling José Maria Bastos in the 55th minute a chance for a shot on goal. With an extended leg and a bit of luck Vitório Senna prevented the ball from getting in the gole. 57 minutes into the match, José Maria Bastos notched a goal, 3-0, to the right of Uomaloli AD's Vitório Senna. Vitório Senna was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. 60 minutes into the match, José Maria Bastos had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Vitório Senna. Uomaloli AD's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that José Maria Bastos was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 4-0. Benê Meireles sent away a hard shot on goal in the 67th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. If Jardel Moura had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 74th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Rafa Ferraz's late challenge caught a Estivas EC's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Rafa Ferraz helped the player get up and apologised. After 75 played minutes Uomaloli AD got a freekick which was hit by Rafa Ferraz. José Maria Bastos received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 78th minute. Vitório Senna tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. After having played for 87 minutes, José Maria Bastos managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Estivas EC's supporters crossed their fingers, but José Maria Bastos was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. In the 88th minute, José Maria Bastos made a precise shot to the right of Vitório Senna. Uomaloli AD's defense was at fault, and the scoreboard reflected the new score, 6-0. Rafinha de Lima sent away a hard shot on goal in the 94th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. There was no doubt that Estivas EC were the better team.
