In the 13th match minute, Ituxi was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Luiz Fábio Pirani to maneuver through the defense. In the 20th minute, Ramada AD's Ronaldinho Linares seemed to kick out at an opponent. The referee saw this and, surprisingly, showed Ronaldinho Linares the red card, dismissing him from the pitch. The coaching staff of Ramada AD protested bitterly, but the referee would have none of it, and Ronaldinho Linares had no choice but to slowly walk off the pitch. Charles Rodrigues shot the penalty kick right outside the post. Adrianinho Furlan scored 0-1 in the 30th match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Cássio Neto, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. The supporters of Ituxi booed when Ramada AD was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 34 match minutes in a wonderful position. Chiquinho Lopez didn't get a good kick on the ball. The referee was alert and spotted a serious foul by Marcinho Ortiz during the 35th minute. The player immediately received a yellow card. Marcinho Ortiz kicked well hit freekick during the 35th minute of the match. Carlos Eduardo Brodel received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 41st minute. Cássio Neto tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. When Adrianinho Furlan came up free with the goalie in the 43rd minute, the Ramada AD 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 Adrianinho Furlan couldn't finish the play. If Carlos Eduardo Brodel had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 44th minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. The crowd was extremely unhappy with the home team's performance in the first half. They were losing 0-1.

When the second half was about to start, both teams quickly lined up and Adrianinho Furlan made a kick off. Adrianinho Furlan sent away a hard shot on goal in the 55th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance.

The referee showed Alexsandro Branco the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. The referee blew the whistle for a penalty in the 63rd minute of the game. One of Ituxi:s players had nearly got his shirt torn off by an opponent while getting free in front of Ramada AD:s goal. The referee gave Ramada AD a penalty, 65 minutes into the game. The penalty shot was made by Nilson Barros, who made a well placed shot into the net to the right of Ituxi's Cássio Neto. 1-2. After a rather tough play, Ituxi's Kauan de Lara got a free kick in the 68th minute. Cássio Neto showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Carlos Eduardo Brodel, who was totally free with the ball in the 71st minute. In the 72nd minute, Adrianinho Furlan 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. Adrianinho Furlan fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 80th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Cássio Neto having to interfere. Ramada AD's Chiquinho Lopez got a good chance for a goal in the 82nd minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. Adrianinho Furlan was really disappointed when he shot the ball just outside the right post instead of scoring a goal in the 84th minute. Ramada AD's manager could be seen on the sidelines shaking his head and muttering to himself as his team had just wasted another chance. The audience was convinced that Carlos Eduardo Brodel's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Cássio Neto was relentless in the 85th minute of the game. Francisco Fontes struck a weak shot in the 89th minute. Cássio Neto didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Ramada AD. A collision led to Ituxi getting a freekick after 90 minutes play. Kauan de Lara hit a great ball. In the 92nd minute, Charles Rodrigues hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. When Chiquinho Lopez fell near the penalty area in the 95th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Ramada AD's protests and gave Chiquinho Lopez a yellow card for diving instead. Chiquinho Lopez hit a great freekick 96 minutes into the match. Ramada AD's players went to the stands to thank the travelling support. The fan's backing had helped spurr the team on to a fine performance that won them the match.
