Spectators: 32 (Terracing: 25, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) Durval Barral started the match with the kick off in front of an excited audience. In the 5th minute, Teodoro de Mendonça hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. 6 minutes into the match, Rochedo Futebol Clube's goal looked a bit too open when Duarte Brasil came free, but William dos Santos reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Téo Machado might have been able to make a better finish in the 11th minute when he tried to place a hard shot over William dos Santos. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Téo Machado ran back to his position shaking his head. A collision led to Tiririca SC getting a freekick after 17 minutes play. Bruninho Alvarenga hit a great ball. In the 23rdth minute of the game Leonel Macedo who was perfectly placed tried to make a shot on goal, but Tiririca SC's Jonathan Carioca was lucky and managed to grab hold of the ball. Jonathan Carioca came out of the goal in the 30th minute to try and stop a shot by Rochedo Futebol Clube's Leonel Macedo.

William dos Santos made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Téo Machado in the 33rd minute of play. William dos Santos showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Bruninho Alvarenga in the 46th minute of the match. 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 players of the home team were most fresh-looking when they entered the field to play the second half. Leonel Macedo was the one to do the kick off. Rochedo Futebol Clube's attacker deliberately struck the ball against an opponent to win a corner for his team. The corner was taken by Rafa Garcia in the 53rd minute. The corner led Rochedo Futebol Clube's Teodoro de Mendonça to fire away a dangerous shot which Jonathan Carioca despite some difficulties managed to get hold on the ball. In the 54th minute, Leonel Macedo 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. Jonathan Carioca stood for a superb save when he managed to get hold of Leonel Macedo's shot from short distance in the 56th minute. In the 70th match minute, Rochedo Futebol Clube was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Rafa Garcia to maneuver through the defense. Giovani Correia blasted a shot towards the goal in the 71st minute, but the shot hit the top of the crossbar and went out without William dos Santos having to make a save. In the 76th minute, Leonel Macedo 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. 80 minutes into the match, Rochedo Futebol Clube's goalkeeper William dos Santos had to clear away a ball on his right side after a cunning shot by Téo Machado. 82 minutes into the match, Bruninho Alvarenga notched a goal, 3-1, to the right of Rochedo Futebol Clube's William dos Santos. William dos Santos was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. Jonathan Carioca took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from José Augusto Jacinto, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. When Serginho Cerezo came up free with the goalie in the 91st minute, the Rochedo Futebol Clube 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 Serginho Cerezo couldn't finish the play. It was no surprise that this one had ended in a win for the home team. Rochedo Futebol Clube had played much better football throughout.
