Spectators: 32 (Terracing: 25, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Reinaldo Cearense kicked off to start the match. After a defensive mix-up in Pinschers FC's zone, Raphael Cordeiro stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Cláudio Mendonça came out of the goal and Raphael Cordeiro tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play.

In the 7th minute, Virgílio Queirós hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Dráusio Mazza sent away a hard shot on goal in the 9th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance.

Patrick da Costa's late challenge caught a Pinschers FC's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Patrick da Costa helped the player get up and apologised. The supporters of Pinschers FC booed when Major EC was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 22 match minutes in a wonderful position. Patrick da Costa didn't get a good kick on the ball. After having played for 25 minutes, Reinaldo Cearense managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Pinschers FC's supporters crossed their fingers, but Reinaldo Cearense was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. In the 27th minute, Enrique Campidelis 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. 30 minutes into the match, Pinschers FC's goal looked a bit too open when Enrique Campidelis came free, but Cláudio Mendonça reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Fernandão Almeida kicked well hit freekick during the 30th minute of the match. Dráusio Mazza received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 38th minute. Ulysses Fonseca tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere.

Enrique Campidelis sent away a hard shot on goal in the 46th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance.

The wind increased when Enrique Campidelis made the kick off in the second half. In the 56th minute, Dráusio Mazza left the goalkeeper for dead before tapping the ball into the right side of the net. The Pinschers FC fans were clearly happy with the effort and the scoreboard reflected the new score: 1-1.

Major EC's supporters rose to their feet, but Enrique Campidelis was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post.
