After some fancy dribbling in the 9th minute, Caetano Dante managed to get in a good position for a shot. Convento's supporters rose to their feet, but Caetano Dante was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Nildo Arósio breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. If Válbson de Sousa had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 12th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead.

After 32 played minutes, Palmeiras's Leopoldo de Almeida shot from a long distance, and at first it looked like the ball was going into the goal, but the goalkeeper Diego de Andrade 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 Palmeiras reached it. With splendid footwork Caetano Dante arrived in front of goal to shoot 1-0 by the left pole in the game's 47th minute. Af the end of the first half the score was 1-0. The first half had gone as expected for the home team.

Enrique Vergílio charged in rather forcefully in the 59th minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Enrique Vergílio the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. A collision led to Convento getting a freekick after 59 minutes play.

In the 61st minute the ball was on its way in behind Convento's goalkeeper Diego de Andrade, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. Luan Camargo sent away a hard shot on goal in the 64th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance.
