Spectators: 32 (Terracing: 25, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Oséas de Carvalho kicked off to start the match. 3 minutes into the match, VASCO DA GAMA's goal looked a bit too open when Oséas de Carvalho came free, but Perivaldo Schmidt reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. In the 6th minute, Alfredinho Vasconcelos 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. The supporters of VASCO DA GAMA booed when Muriae was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 7 match minutes in a wonderful position. Dorival de Queiroz didn't get a good kick on the ball. In the 10th minute the ball was on its way in behind Muriae's goalkeeper Hélder Zonta, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. When Zé Pedro Gomes fell near the penalty area in the 13th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Muriae's protests and gave Zé Pedro Gomes a yellow card for diving instead. Ciro de Brito sent away a hard shot on goal in the 17th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. After some fancy dribbling in the 20th minute, Oséas de Carvalho managed to get in a good position for a shot. Muriae's supporters rose to their feet, but Oséas de Carvalho was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Perivaldo Schmidt breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. If Ciro de Brito had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 21st minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Perivaldo Schmidt showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Oséas de Carvalho in the 28th minute of the match. When Sandro Xavier fell near the penalty area in the 36th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored VASCO DA GAMA's protests and gave Sandro Xavier a yellow card for diving instead. After 36 played minutes VASCO DA GAMA got a freekick which was hit by Sandro Xavier.

When the second half was about to start, both teams quickly lined up and Alfredinho Vasconcelos made a kick off. In the 60th minute, Enéas Toscano hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. In the 64th minute, Genílson Azevedo hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Perivaldo Schmidt took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Oséas de Carvalho, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. In the 65th minute, Zeca Pena hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Oséas de Carvalho fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 67th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Perivaldo Schmidt having to interfere. Alfredinho Vasconcelos sent away a hard shot on goal in the 72nd minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. 77 minutes into the match, Muriae's goal looked a bit too open when Sandro Xavier came free, but Hélder Zonta reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. If Alfredinho Vasconcelos had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 81st minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. In the 86th minute, Ciro de Brito left the goalkeeper for dead before tapping the ball into the right side of the net. The VASCO DA GAMA fans were clearly happy with the effort and the scoreboard reflected the new score: 4-1. In the 95th minute Ciro de Brito shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Hélder Zonta saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. After 96 minutes, Chico da Cunha mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Muriae and the VASCO DA GAMA players grew even worse after the yellow card.
