Spectators: 32 (Terracing: 25, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) The sun was shining, the grass was green and the audience cheered when Aníbal França got the match started through his kick off. Raí Paranaense came out of the goal in the 5th minute to try and stop a shot by Campelina SC's Evandro Souto. But to his dismay, Evandro Souto quickly shot the ball in between his legs and into the goal making it 0-1. In the 8th minute Claudinei Mesquita shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Raí Paranaense saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Raí Paranaense stood for a superb save when he managed to get hold of Claudinei Mesquita's shot from short distance in the 12th minute. Claudinei Mesquita sent away a hard shot on goal in the 14th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. 17 minutes into the match, Policarpo FC's goal looked a bit too open when Evandro Souto came free, but Raí Paranaense reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Evandro Souto blasted a shot towards the goal in the 19th minute, but the shot hit the top of the crossbar and went out without Raí Paranaense having to make a save. In the 22ndth minute of the game Claudinei Mesquita who was perfectly placed tried to make a shot on goal, but Policarpo FC's Raí Paranaense was lucky and managed to grab hold of the ball. An unexpectedly hard shot by Evandro Souto in the 25th minute of play forced Policarpo FC's goalkeeper Raí Paranaense to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. The audience was convinced that Evandro Souto's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Raí Paranaense was relentless in the 31st minute of the game. Raí Paranaense showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Evandro Souto in the 43rd minute of the match. The crowd was extremely unhappy with the home team's performance in the first half. They were losing 0-1.

The hometeam waved at the audience when it was time for Claudinei Mesquita to strike the kick off in the second half. After 51 minutes, Ismael Maia mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Campelina SC and the Policarpo FC players grew even worse after the yellow card. Luisinho de Salles came out of the goal in the 52nd minute to try and stop a shot by Policarpo FC's Aníbal França. But to his dismay, Aníbal França quickly shot the ball in between his legs and into the goal making it 1-1. After 55 played minutes Policarpo FC got a freekick which was hit by Bernardo Tinoco. When Ismael Maia was, once again, overly rough in his play he received his second yellow card and was ordered off the ground. 57 minutes had been played. After a rather tough play, Campelina SC's Ismael Maia got a free kick in the 58th minute. After having played for 65 minutes, Aníbal França managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Policarpo FC's supporters crossed their fingers, but Aníbal França was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. Luisinho de Salles made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Lauro Santana in the 69th minute of play. Aníbal França received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 70th minute. Luisinho de Salles tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Wilson Coelho kicked well hit freekick during the 76th minute of the match. In the 77th minute Lauro Santana shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Luisinho de Salles saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Policarpo FC's Aníbal França got a good chance for a goal in the 82nd minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. Evandro Souto might have been able to make a better finish in the 85th minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Raí Paranaense. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Evandro Souto ran back to his position shaking his head. Evandro Souto struck a weak shot in the 88th minute. Raí Paranaense didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Campelina SC. If Nando Fonseca had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 89th minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. After a defensive mix-up in Policarpo FC's zone, Nando Fonseca stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Raí Paranaense came out of the goal and Nando Fonseca tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. Raí Paranaense made an important save on a dangerous shot by Evandro Souto in the 94th minute. Lauro Santana fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 95th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Luisinho de Salles having to interfere.
