Unfortunately, the ball was poorly hit and landed closer to the corner than to the goal. Marquinhos de Senna struck a weak shot in the 17th minute.

The wind increased when Deivid Vergílio made the kick off in the second half. Caio Gonçalves recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 52nd minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. If Marquinhos de Senna had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 55th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. The attack was good, but when Marquinhos de Senna in the 58th minute was about to shoot he didn't kick quite good enough and the ball went high over goal. Marcus de Souza received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 59th minute. Evandro Queiroz tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. When Marquinhos de Senna came up free with the goalie in the 61st minute, the Farinha 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 Marquinhos de Senna couldn't finish the play. 64 minutes into the game, Telmo Porto was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. CP MZF's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave Farinha the free kick.
