Maurinho Ferraz received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 8th minute. Cássio de Almeida tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. The supporters of Juriti booed when Apore AD was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 10 match minutes in a wonderful position. Maurinho Ferraz didn't get a good kick on the ball. An unexpectedly hard shot by Maurinho Ferraz in the 18th minute of play forced Juriti's goalkeeper Cássio de Almeida to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Arí Pimenta made a fantastic save in the 22nd minute, when Doni Quintal sent off a good shot on target. Luís da Cunha kicked well hit freekick during the 23rd minute of the match. Juriti's Válbson Reis shoveled away a really nice long shot in the 28th minute of play. The shot was stopped by Arí Pimenta but with some difficulty. Luís da Cunha sent away a hard shot on goal in the 31st minute, but the ball hit the crossbar and went out. A very good chance for a goal. Maurinho Ferraz fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 35th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Cássio de Almeida having to interfere. After 37 minutes of play, Apore AD's Luís da Cunha made it 0-1 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Cássio de Almeida was left in no man's land by his defense there! Maurinho Ferraz fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 43rd minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Cássio de Almeida having to interfere. After the first half Apore AD were leading 0-1. They had played with great self confidence throughout the first half and fully deserved their lead.

The hometeam waved at the audience when it was time for Pedrão da Mata to strike the kick off in the second half. After a defensive mix-up in Juriti's zone, Maurinho Ferraz stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Cássio de Almeida came out of the goal and Maurinho Ferraz tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. Maurinho Ferraz sent away a hard shot on goal in the 54th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. An unexpectedly hard shot by Doni Quintal in the 55th minute of play forced Apore AD's goalkeeper Arí Pimenta to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. 56 minutes into the match, Apore AD's goal looked a bit too open when Pedrão da Mata came free, but Arí Pimenta reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Arí Pimenta made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Pedrão da Mata in the 59th minute of play. Juan Pena kicked well hit freekick during the 62nd minute of the match. 1-1 became the score in the 68th minute when Pedrão da Mata elegantly shot the ball into goal just under the crossbar. After some careless play in the Apore AD defense, Mário Quadros kicked a shot that curved into the net to the right of Arí Pimenta. The Apore AD fans voiced their displeasure as they felt that Arí Pimenta should have stopped the shot. In the 77th match minute, Apore AD was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Luís da Cunha to maneuver through the defense. After 78 played minutes, Juriti's Válbson Reis shot from a long distance, and at first it looked like the ball was going into the goal, but the goalkeeper Arí Pimenta 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 Juriti reached it. Mário Quadros scored 3-1 in the 86th match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Arí Pimenta, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. Armando Prado sent away a hard shot on goal in the 95th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. The Juriti support was delighted with a win in a match that could easily have ended differently.
