In the 17th minute of the match, Marcelinho Pirani tried to roll the ball into the goal by the right post, but Daniel Souto saw his intentions and got control of the ball before it passed the line.

But the shot missed the goal by a fraction of an inch, and the fans sat back down disappointed that Marcelinho Pirani couldn't finish the play. An unexpectedly hard shot by Marcelinho Pirani in the 22nd minute of play forced Bahia's goalkeeper Daniel Souto to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball.

Bahia's supporters crossed their fingers, but Gildo Lopes was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. If Válter Sá had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 35th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead.
