Spectators: 32 (Terracing: 25, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) Lucas Esteves, 4 minutes into the match, dribbled the ball up the side of the field and decided to take a long shot at the goal. Unfortunately, the ball was poorly hit and landed closer to the corner than to the goal. In the 6th minute the ball was on its way in behind Alvacao's goalkeeper Tiaguinho da Costa, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. Igor Pereira showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Juninho Batista in the 7th minute of the match. In the 12th minute Ronaldinho de Amorim shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Tiaguinho da Costa saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. An unexpectedly hard shot by Juninho Batista in the 14th minute of play forced Leitner's goalkeeper Igor Pereira to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Waldemar Cabral recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 17th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. The supporters of Alvacao booed when Leitner was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 21 match minutes in a wonderful position. Douglas Godoi didn't get a good kick on the ball. After 22 played minutes, Alvacao's Kléber Prado shot from a long distance, and at first it looked like the ball was going into the goal, but the goalkeeper Igor Pereira came through and got his fingers on the ball before it flew over the goal line. He then quickly gripped the ball tighter before the forwards in Alvacao reached it. When Júnior Leite fell near the penalty area in the 23rd minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Alvacao's protests and gave Júnior Leite a yellow card for diving instead. In the 23rd minute, Júnior Leite hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. After a defensive mix-up in Alvacao's zone, Waldemar Cabral stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Tiaguinho da Costa came out of the goal and Waldemar Cabral tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. After a rather tough play, Leitner's Douglas Godoi got a free kick in the 28th minute. In the 31st minute Ronaldinho de Amorim shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Tiaguinho da Costa saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. 34 minutes into the match, Leitner's goal looked a bit too open when Cláudio Guerra came free, but Igor Pereira reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Juninho Batista charged in rather forcefully in the 35th minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Juninho Batista the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. Leitner's Igor Pereira played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Cláudio Guerra in the 38th minute of play. A collision led to Leitner getting a freekick after 39 minutes play. Cléberson Brasil hit a great ball. If Cláudio Guerra had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 42nd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. In the 44th minute, Douglas Godoi hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Kléber Prado was probably a little too eager to shoot when he, in the 45th played minute, shot the ball from way out. The shot was hard, but the ball flew wide of the goal.

The hometeam waved at the audience when it was time for Ronaldinho de Amorim to strike the kick off in the second half. Tiaguinho da Costa didn't have a chance when a screaming shot from Douglas Godoi went, in the 52nd minute, to the upper right corner, 1-0 was the resulting score. Tiaguinho da Costa showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Ronaldinho de Amorim in the 63rd minute of the match. After 65 minutes Alvacao's defender was forced to head the ball over the line for a corner. It was Lucas Esteves who took care of the corner kick. A well-hit corner resulted in Douglas Godoi heading the ball towards the goal, but to his dismay he misdirected it and missed the goal completely. In the 69th play minute Cláudio Guerra came free and shot an unsuspected shot which went into goal from the right pole behind a surprised Igor Pereira. 1-1. Igor Pereira came out of the goal in the 79th minute to try and stop a shot by Alvacao's Juninho Batista. But to his dismay, Juninho Batista quickly shot the ball in between his legs and into the goal making it 1-2. In the 81st minute, Fernandão Mattos hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. When Virgílio Cruz fell near the penalty area in the 83rd minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick.

In the 88th minute, Juninho Batista got an opportunity to score, but he didn't get a solid hit on the ball and ended up kicking it wide of the goal. Tiaguinho da Costa didn't have a chance when a screaming shot from Waldemar Cabral went, in the 95th minute, to the upper right corner, 2-2 was the resulting score.
