Spectators: 32 (Terracing: 25, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) Luizinho Coutinho recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 2nd minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. In the 5th minute, Erivaldo de Alcântara fired away a killer shot towards the goal that, to the delight of Jano Porto, passed just outside the right post. Hélio Arósio might have been able to make a better finish in the 19th minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Naldo Leão. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Hélio Arósio ran back to his position shaking his head. 21 minutes into the match, Cauan Soeiro notched a goal, 0-1, to the right of Jacaracanga SS's Naldo Leão. Naldo Leão was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. MEDRADOS FC's Cauan Soeiro got a good chance for a goal in the 24th minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. An unexpectedly hard shot by Hélio Arósio in the 26th minute of play forced Jacaracanga SS's goalkeeper Naldo Leão to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Naldo Leão didn't have a chance when a screaming shot from Cauan Soeiro went, in the 27th minute, to the upper right corner, 0-2 was the resulting score. After some fancy dribbling in the 31st minute, Cauan Soeiro managed to get in a good position for a shot. MEDRADOS FC's supporters rose to their feet, but Cauan Soeiro was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Naldo Leão breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. The referee was alert and spotted a serious foul by Edinho Pena during the 32nd minute. The player immediately received a yellow card. Edinho Pena kicked well hit freekick during the 32nd minute of the match. Hélio Arósio struck a weak shot in the 34th minute. Naldo Leão didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for MEDRADOS FC. MEDRADOS FC's Cauan Soeiro got a good chance for a goal in the 35th minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. If Cauan Soeiro had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 38th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. 47 minutes into the match, Jacaracanga SS's goal looked a bit too open when Hélio Arósio came free, but Naldo Leão reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line.

The wind increased when Erivaldo de Alcântara made the kick off in the second half. The audience thought a goal was coming when Celedonio Abeijon got free with Naldo Leão in the 52nd minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort. Antônio Carlos de Barros charged in rather forcefully in the 53rd minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Antônio Carlos de Barros the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. In the 53rd minute, Antônio Carlos de Barros hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Jano Porto took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Erivaldo de Alcântara, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. If Cauan Soeiro had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 65th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. The supporters of MEDRADOS FC booed when Jacaracanga SS was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 72 match minutes in a wonderful position. Charles Lago didn't get a good kick on the ball. After 74 minutes of play, MEDRADOS FC's Cauan Soeiro made it 0-3 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Naldo Leão was left in no man's land by his defense there! A collision led to Jacaracanga SS getting a freekick after 77 minutes play. Antônio Carlos de Barros hit a great ball. After a defensive mix-up in Jacaracanga SS's zone, Celedonio Abeijon stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Naldo Leão came out of the goal and Celedonio Abeijon tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. When Celedonio Abeijon came up free with the goalie in the 81st minute, the MEDRADOS FC 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 Celedonio Abeijon couldn't finish the play. 83 minutes into the match, Jacaracanga SS's Erivaldo de Alcântara sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that Jano Porto narrowly saved just below the crossbar. After 87 played minutes Jacaracanga SS got a freekick which was hit by Erivaldo de Alcântara. Celedonio Abeijon sent away a hard shot on goal in the 92nd minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance.
