Estádio Bora
Spectators: 32 (Terracing: 25, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) Dida Dante was in the perfect position, and the defense had done a good job marking him, but Didi Bertassi showcased his skills and made a perfect shot to score 1-0 in the 6 minute of play. Nelsinho Abreu received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 11th minute. Dida Dante tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. 14 minutes into the match, Tibúrcio Passos notched a goal, 1-1, to the right of Bora's Luís Fabiano Velasco.

After having played for 21 minutes, Nelsinho Abreu managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Bora's supporters crossed their fingers, but Nelsinho Abreu was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal.

After some fancy dribbling in the 38th minute, Frank Pirani managed to get in a good position for a shot. Turvo FC's supporters rose to their feet, but Frank Pirani was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Luís Fabiano Velasco breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. Tibúrcio Passos sent away a hard shot on goal in the 41st minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Tibúrcio Passos fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 43rd minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Luís Fabiano Velasco having to interfere.

The hometeam waved at the audience when it was time for Tibúrcio Passos to strike the kick off in the second half. 52 minutes into the match, Bora's goal looked a bit too open when Tibúrcio Passos came free, but Luís Fabiano Velasco reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line.

Nelsinho Abreu sent away a hard shot on goal in the 56th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Nelsinho Abreu scored 4-1 in the 58th match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Dida Dante, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot.

The shot went wide which resulted in a goal kick for Bora. 92 minutes into the match, Bora's goalkeeper Luís Fabiano Velasco had to clear away a ball on his right side after a cunning shot by Frank Pirani.
