After some careless play in the Play Hard defense, Tony da Costa kicked a shot that curved into the net to the right of Mário Teles.

The ball went over the crossbar and out instead.

Jefferson Novaes showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Marcel Carvalho in the 77th minute of the match. Vinícius Ortiz took the ball and in the 78 minute, shot a rapid shot to the right of a surprised Mário Teles. Mário Teles dived to the right, and did manage to get a hand on the shot, but it still went into the right corner making it 3-0. An unexpectedly hard shot by Marcel Carvalho in the 86th minute of play forced Mutum's goalkeeper Jefferson Novaes to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. 88 minutes into the game, Mutum's Vinícius Ortiz nearly tore a hole in the net with a booming shot.

Mário Teles made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Chico Novaes in the 100th minute of play. Mutum walked away with a well-earned victory that was much celebrated by the crowd.
