Spectators: 7655 (Terracing: 5743, Seating: 1760, VIP seats: 152) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Alfredo Salgado started the match with the kick off. After 2 minutes, Adhemar Veloso mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Texugo Futebol Clube and the Patro F C players grew even worse after the yellow card. Alfredo Salgado fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 3rd minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Vitinho Gonçalves having to interfere. 6 minutes into the game, Patro F C's Cesinha Vides nearly tore a hole in the net with a booming shot. Vitinho Gonçalves made a valiant effort, but he could not reach the ball in time, 1-0. In the 11th minute, Alfredo Salgado 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. 13 minutes into the match, Adhemar Veloso notched a goal, 1-1, to the right of Patro F C's Patrick Martins. Patrick Martins was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. In the 16th match minute, Texugo Futebol Clube was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Olavo Tavares to maneuver through the defense. In the 17th minute, Patro F C's Alfredo Salgado ran free of his marker and smoothly shot the ball into the goal behind Vitinho Gonçalves. Vitinho Gonçalves yelled at his defense, as they had left him out to dry. 2-1. Patrick Martins took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Olavo Tavares, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. After 24 minutes of play, Texugo Futebol Clube's Haroldo de Alcântara made it 2-2 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Patrick Martins was left in no man's land by his defense there! An unexpectedly hard shot by Alfredo Salgado in the 32nd minute of play forced Texugo Futebol Clube's goalkeeper Vitinho Gonçalves to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. In the 33rd minute, Olavo Tavares made a precise shot to the right of Patrick Martins. Patro F C's defense was at fault, and the scoreboard reflected the new score, 2-3. Texugo Futebol Clube were furious when Joaquim de Queirós was red carded, 41 minutes into the game, but the referee dismissed their protests. The referee gave Patro F C a penalty, 42 minutes into the game. The penalty shot was made by Sílvio Luís Dracena, who made a well placed shot into the net to the right of Texugo Futebol Clube's Vitinho Gonçalves. 3-3. Betão Valle hit a great freekick 45 minutes into the match. After some fancy dribbling in the 46th minute, Haroldo de Alcântara managed to get in a good position for a shot. Texugo Futebol Clube's supporters rose to their feet, but Haroldo de Alcântara was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Patrick Martins breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick.

When the second half was about to start, both teams quickly lined up and Haroldo de Alcântara made a kick off. Juan Diniz hit a great freekick 60 minutes into the match. Cesinha Vides sent away a hard shot on goal in the 73rd minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. If Cesinha Vides had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 76th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Patrick Martins made an important save on a dangerous shot by Haroldo de Alcântara in the 79th minute. Alfredo Salgado sent away a hard shot on goal in the 84th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance.

Texugo Futebol Clube succeeded in salvaging a draw, even though Patro F C had controlled the match.
