Silvério Santos received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 19th minute. Ivo Abraão tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. After some fancy dribbling in the 21st minute, Egídio Seco managed to get in a good position for a shot. MackBio FC's supporters rose to their feet, but Egídio Seco was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Ivo Abraão breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. João Coutinho kicked well hit freekick during the 22nd minute of the match. Nelson Barros could have scored with his fast shot on goal in the 25th minute of the match, but Ivo Abraão made a huge save. Silvinho Pinho made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Anselmo Lara in the 31st minute of play. MackBio FC's Silvinho Pinho played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Wanderson Valladares in the 32nd minute of play. 40 minutes into the game, Wanderson Valladares was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. Romaria's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave MackBio FC the free kick. After 40 played minutes Romaria got a freekick which was hit by Wanderson Valladares. 46 minutes into the game, Romaria's Wanderson Valladares nearly tore a hole in the net with a booming shot. Silvinho Pinho made a valiant effort, but he could not reach the ball in time, 1-1. The score stood at 1-1 when the half time whistle went. Both sets of players seemed reasonably pleased with how the match was going.

The players of the home team were most fresh-looking when they entered the field to play the second half. Anselmo Lara was the one to do the kick off. Wanderson Valladares fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 57th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Silvinho Pinho having to interfere. Wanderson Valladares sent away a hard shot on goal in the 63rd minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. After a rather tough play, MackBio FC's Breno Paiva got a free kick in the 66th minute. In the 71st minute, Egídio Seco left the goalkeeper for dead before tapping the ball into the right side of the net. The MackBio FC fans were clearly happy with the effort and the scoreboard reflected the new score: 2-1. Silvinho Pinho showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Anselmo Lara in the 75th minute of the match. The throw-in from Sílvio Luiz Prestes in the 78th minute of the game was unfortunally taken care of by MackBio FC's Ricardo Lago. An unexpectedly hard shot by Anselmo Lara in the 86th minute of play forced MackBio FC's goalkeeper Silvinho Pinho to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. With a little luck, MackBio FC's Silvinho Pinho got control of the ball when Wanderson Valladares tried to sneak it across the goal line. In the 97th match minute, Romaria was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by João Coutinho to maneuver through the defense. The second half was just like the first, even and exciting. The match ended in a draw.
