Geovanni Carneiro scored 2-0 in the 46th match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Elder Bertassi, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Danilo Gerber to make the kick off.

After having played for 63 minutes, Anderson Peres managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Lods United's supporters crossed their fingers, but Anderson Peres was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. 73 minutes into the match, Mandiroba's goal looked a bit too open when Geovanni Carneiro came free, but Elder Bertassi reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line.
