Spectators: 32 (Terracing: 25, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) The sun was shining, the grass was green and the audience cheered when Delfim do Nascimento got the match started through his kick off. A collision led to Jaguaracu FC getting a freekick after 3 minutes play. Luís Arósio hit a great ball. 4 minutes into the match, Mutum's Washington Lopez broke free and took a long shot that unfortunately flew wide. A fine initiative that could have resulted in a goal. After a rather tough play, Jaguaracu FC's Tiaguinho da Silva got a free kick in the 8th minute. After 11 played minutes Tony da Costa could catch the ball where he stood relatively free a bit outside the goal and without hesitation he completed 1-0 into the left cross. The throw-in from Zé Pedro Ramos in the 18th minute of the game was unfortunally taken care of by Jaguaracu FC's Amadeu Botelho. João Augusto das Neves fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 23rd minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Afonso Velasco having to interfere. When Tony da Costa came up free with the goalie in the 24th minute, the Mutum 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 Tony da Costa couldn't finish the play. João Augusto das Neves could have scored with his fast shot on goal in the 26th minute of the match, but Afonso Velasco made a huge save. After some fancy dribbling in the 29th minute, João Augusto das Neves managed to get in a good position for a shot. Mutum's supporters rose to their feet, but João Augusto das Neves was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Afonso Velasco breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. Tony da Costa fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 30th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Afonso Velasco having to interfere. Afonso Velasco took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Tony da Costa, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. 41 minutes into the game, Artur Tande cracked a shot to the right of the goalkeeper, 2-1. Jefferson Novaes was not in position, and could only watch the ball fly in. João Augusto das Neves received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 45th minute. Afonso Velasco tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere.

Mutum made a substitution. Marcinho Cabral replaced Jonatan Dalkvist. Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Tony da Costa to make the kick off. João Augusto das Neves sent away a hard shot on goal in the 53rd minute, but the ball hit the crossbar and went out. A very good chance for a goal. In the 58th minute, João Augusto das Neves 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. Mutum's Tony da Costa got a good chance for a goal in the 64th minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. 68 minutes into the match, Mutum's goal looked a bit too open when Delfim do Nascimento came free, but Jefferson Novaes reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. A throw-in in the 73rd minute of the game was made by Humberto Furlan with Amadeu Botelho as target, who quickly passed the ball forward. In the 74th minute Delfim do Nascimento shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Jefferson Novaes saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. A collision led to Mutum getting a freekick after 80 minutes play. Adalberto Duarte hit a great ball. Afonso Velasco showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Marcinho Cabral, who was totally free with the ball in the 86th minute. Jaguaracu FC's attacker deliberately struck the ball against an opponent to win a corner for his team. The corner was taken by Luís Arósio in the 90th minute. The corner led Jaguaracu FC's Luís Arósio to fire away a dangerous shot which Jefferson Novaes despite some difficulties managed to get hold on the ball. Afonso Velasco took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Chico Novaes, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. The supporters of Jaguaracu FC booed when Mutum was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 94 match minutes in a wonderful position. Marcinho Cabral didn't get a good kick on the ball. After having played for 98 minutes, João Augusto das Neves managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Mutum's supporters crossed their fingers, but João Augusto das Neves was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. Mutum's supporters were delighted with their team's performance and swarmed onto the pitch at the end of the match to celebrate the victory with the players.
