Luís Rezende's shot when he came free in front of the goal in the 18thth minute, Tomé Nóbrega skillfully showed off with a save to what seemed to be an obvious goal.

Tomé Nóbrega didn't have a chance when a screaming shot from Luís Rezende went, in the 37th minute, to the upper right corner, 2-0 was the resulting score. Luisinho de Amorim hit a great freekick 40 minutes into the match. 42 minutes into the game, Luís Rezende was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. Falcon FC's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave Travessada SS the free kick. Eduardo Vieira might have been able to make a better finish in the 45th minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Frederico Cerezo. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Eduardo Vieira ran back to his position shaking his head. 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 hometeam waved at the audience when it was time for Pedrinho Medeiros to strike the kick off in the second half. Tomé Nóbrega showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Pedrinho Medeiros in the 57th minute of the match.

Paulo José Schmidt sent away a hard shot on goal in the 71st minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Frederico Cerezo took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Paulo José Schmidt, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. An unexpectedly hard shot by Luís Rezende in the 78th minute of play forced Travessada SS's goalkeeper Tomé Nóbrega to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. 83 minutes into the match, Travessada SS's goal looked a bit too open when Pedrinho Medeiros came free, but Tomé Nóbrega reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. 90 minutes into the match, Falcon FC's goalkeeper Frederico Cerezo had to clear away a ball on his right side after a cunning shot by Eduardo Vieira. After a rather tough play, Falcon FC's Víktor Faria got a free kick in the 91st minute. Paulo José Schmidt received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 93rd minute.
