Spectators: 32 (Terracing: 25, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) Brejatuba SC's Cícero Botelho started the match with a crisp pass. The crowd had been anticipating this game for weeks and the excitement in the stadium was easily visible. The referee blew the whistle for a penalty in the 6th minute of the game. One of MafiosoCLubeEsportivo:s players had nearly got his shirt torn off by an opponent while getting free in front of Brejatuba SC:s goal. When the match had been going on for 7 minutes, Brejatuba SC's Pedro Sena got an opportunity to shoot a penalty. He stayed cool and waited for the goalkeeper to move, before he confidently shot the ball into the goal, to the left of Válter Seco. An unexpectedly hard shot by Cícero Botelho in the 12th minute of play forced MafiosoCLubeEsportivo's goalkeeper Válter Seco to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Válter Seco took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Cícero Botelho, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Cícero Botelho fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 17th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Válter Seco having to interfere. Válter Seco was a little too slow when Cícero Botelho got a fine hit on the ball which went right into the goal in the 20th minute. The score was now 2-0. In the 24th minute, Cícero Botelho hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Luiz Eduardo Perez sent away a hard shot on goal in the 26th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. MafiosoCLubeEsportivo's Válter Seco proved his good apprehension of play when he, in the 32nd minute of the match, managed to save MafiosoCLubeEsportivo from getting a goal against them. In the 34th minute, Cícero Botelho fired away a shot on goal. He put a little to much spin on the ball and sent it just wide of the right post. Cícero Botelho sent away a hard shot on goal in the 38th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. 40 minutes into the match, Luiz Eduardo Perez notched a goal, 3-0, to the right of MafiosoCLubeEsportivo's Válter Seco. Válter Seco was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. Luiz Eduardo Perez came free with the goalkeeper in the 47th minute of the match, and shot straight on target. The shot was a little too simple and Válter Seco could save by the left post. The home fans were very happy to see their team leading 3-0 at half-time.

The wind increased when Samuel de Sena made the kick off in the second half. Cícero Botelho scored 4-0 in the 57th match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Válter Seco, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. The supporters of Brejatuba SC booed when MafiosoCLubeEsportivo was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 59 match minutes in a wonderful position. Carlinhos Soeiro didn't get a good kick on the ball. If Cícero Botelho had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 65th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. In the 83rd minute Samuel de Sena shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Roger Souza saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. After a defensive mix-up in MafiosoCLubeEsportivo's zone, Luiz Eduardo Perez stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Válter Seco came out of the goal and Luiz Eduardo Perez tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. Thanks to some nice foot action and superb ball handling Luiz Eduardo Perez in the 96th minute a chance for a shot on goal. With an extended leg and a bit of luck Válter Seco prevented the ball from getting in the gole. Brejatuba SC were really happy, having secured the victory after a very even contest. They thanked the players of MafiosoCLubeEsportivo for a fine match.
