Clementina
Spectators: 32 (Terracing: 25, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Luizinho Matorin kicked off to start the match. After 3 played minutes, Piria's Raí Garcia shot from a long distance, and at first it looked like the ball was going into the goal, but the goalkeeper Joélson Urbano 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 Piria reached it. If Rony Cabral had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 7th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. After a defensive mix-up in Piria's zone, Luizinho Matorin stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Ronaldinho França came out of the goal and Luizinho Matorin tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. The referee was alert and spotted a serious foul by Evandro Coutinho during the 12th minute. The player immediately received a yellow card. After a rather tough play, Piria's Evandro Coutinho got a free kick in the 12th minute. 13 minutes into the match, Clementina's Dito Cunha broke free and took a long shot that unfortunately flew wide.

After 33 minutes of play, Piria's Magno Gomes made it 0-1 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net.
