After 36 played minutes, Itapetinga's Erik Nunes shot from a long distance, and at first it looked like the ball was going into the goal, but the goalkeeper Cido de Castro came through and got his fingers on the ball before it flew over the goal line. He then quickly gripped the ball tighter before the forwards in Itapetinga reached it. After having played for 37 minutes, Renatinho Faustino managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. OnePieceFC's supporters crossed their fingers, but Renatinho Faustino was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal.

With an extended leg and a bit of luck Cássio Bezerra prevented the ball from getting in the gole. Guga Matos struck a weak shot in the 43rd minute.
