Estádio Peruanos
Spectators: 32 (Terracing: 25, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) The sun was shining, the grass was green and the audience cheered when Alan Abraão got the match started through his kick off. Jerônimo Prestes's shot straight on target was not completely harmless. The ball had pretty good speed, but Isaltino Baptista firmly grabbed it by the left post. Lúcio Maia received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 5th minute. Jano Coelho tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. With an all-out effort, Peruanos EC's Isaltino Baptista threw himself towards the right post 11 minutes into the match and grabbed hold of the ball from Alex Linhares, which otherwise would have been placed in the net. The supporters of Peruanos EC booed when Barcelona was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 12 match minutes in a wonderful position. Toninho Rosa didn't get a good kick on the ball. Alan Abraão sent away a hard shot on goal in the 16th minute, but the ball hit the crossbar and went out. A very good chance for a goal. 18 minutes into the match, Alan Abraão notched a goal, 0-1, to the right of Peruanos EC's Jano Coelho. Jano Coelho was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. Isaltino Baptista showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from João Reis, who was totally free with the ball in the 21st minute. After 23 minutes of play, the referee blew the whistle. It was a penalty for Barcelona! Isaltino Baptista had in the 26thth minute some difficulties stopping Vladimir Hermes's well aimed penalty as it nearly passed him on his left side, but he still managed to hold the ball. Alessandro Sabóia fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 28th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Jano Coelho having to interfere. With a couple of smart ball manuevers Alex Linhares in the 35th managed to get into a good position. With a left leg Isaltino Baptista saved Barcelona from getting behind. Alessandro Sabóia struck a weak shot in the 38th minute. Jano Coelho didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Barcelona.

Alessandro Sabóia helped the player get up and apologised.

The players of the away team seemed most concentrated when Alex Linhares stepped up to make the kick off in the second half. Barcelona's Isaltino Baptista played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Alex Linhares in the 53rd minute of play. In the 65th minute Benjamin Duarte shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Isaltino Baptista saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. After a defensive mix-up in Peruanos EC's zone, Lúcio Maia stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Jano Coelho came out of the goal and Lúcio Maia tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. After a defensive mix-up in Peruanos EC's zone, Alessandro Sabóia stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat.

An unexpectedly hard shot by Jerônimo Prestes in the 76th minute of play forced Barcelona's goalkeeper Isaltino Baptista to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. When Cléber Dantas fell near the penalty area in the 78th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Barcelona's protests and gave Cléber Dantas a yellow card for diving instead. Cléber Dantas kicked well hit freekick during the 78th minute of the match. Isaltino Baptista took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Jerônimo Prestes, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side.

Peruanos EC's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave Barcelona the free kick. Benjamin Duarte hit a great freekick 88 minutes into the match. Alessandro Sabóia might have been able to make a better finish in the 90th minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Jano Coelho. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Alessandro Sabóia ran back to his position shaking his head. An unexpectedly hard shot by Alex Linhares in the 96th minute of play forced Barcelona's goalkeeper Isaltino Baptista to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball.
