Spectators: 32 (Terracing: 25, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Erik Nóbrega started the match with the kick off. Murillo Fernandez made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Erik Nóbrega in the 13th minute of play. Nicolas de Salles sent away a hard shot on goal in the 14th minute, but the ball hit the crossbar and went out. A very good chance for a goal. After 15 played minutes Fausto Castro rounded Folheta's defense and shot a beautiful shot into goal via left pole - 1-0. After a defensive mix-up in Folheta's zone, Nicolas de Salles stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Fabiano Torres came out of the goal and Nicolas de Salles tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. After having played for 25 minutes, Vicente Lopez managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Mariluz AD's supporters crossed their fingers, but Vicente Lopez was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. Fabiano Torres showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Nicolas de Salles, who was totally free with the ball in the 29th minute. Nicolas de Salles blasted a shot towards the goal in the 32nd minute, but the shot hit the top of the crossbar and went out without Fabiano Torres having to make a save. Vicente Lopez received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 34th minute. Fabiano Torres tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. In the 35th match minute, Folheta was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Isaltino de Toledo to maneuver through the defense. Vicente Lopez's shot was meant for the net just under the crossbar, but Fabiano Torres read the situation well and was quickly in position to make a wonderful save in the 38th minute of play. Vicente Lopez succeeded to score despite a near miss that spronge from right pole into the goal to 2-0 in the 44th playminute. When the referee blew for the end of the half the home team players were clearly happier, as they went in to the break leading 2-0.

The wind increased when Nicolas de Salles made the kick off in the second half. Manoel Tróia kicked well hit freekick during the 54th minute of the match. If Nicolas de Salles had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 60th minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. 60 minutes into the match, Vicente Lopez had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Fabiano Torres. Folheta's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Vicente Lopez was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 4-0. The referee blew the whistle for a penalty in the 74th minute of the game. One of Folheta:s players had nearly got his shirt torn off by an opponent while getting free in front of Mariluz AD:s goal.

Fabiano Torres dived to the right, and did manage to get a hand on the shot, but it still went into the right corner making it 6-0. Nicolas de Salles received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 87th minute. Fabiano Torres tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere.
