Spectators: 6726 (Terracing: 5000, Seating: 1726, VIP seats: 0) The mood of the audience was pleasant when Jonas Carneiro made the kick off which started today's match. The supporters of ACD Potiguar booed when Mendonca was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 4 match minutes in a wonderful position. Edgar Queirós didn't get a good kick on the ball. After some fancy dribbling in the 13th minute, Romeu de Almeida managed to get in a good position for a shot. ACD Potiguar's supporters rose to their feet, but Romeu de Almeida was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Dino Valle breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. If Rolf Tangemann had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 14th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Dino Valle came out of the goal in the 17th minute to try and stop a shot by ACD Potiguar's Jonas Carneiro. But to his dismay, Jonas Carneiro quickly shot the ball in between his legs and into the goal making it 0-1. Olavo Pitta hit a great freekick 27 minutes into the match. Mendonca's Cristiano Sousa got a good chance for a goal in the 30th minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. Dino Valle showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Jonas Carneiro in the 33rd minute of the match. Jonas Carneiro scored 0-2 in the 38th match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Dino Valle, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot.

The wind increased when Clemente Montenegro made the kick off in the second half. With a couple of smart ball manuevers Jonas Carneiro in the 52nd managed to get into a good position. With a left leg Dino Valle saved Mendonca from getting behind. During the 60th minute of the match Dalibor Takáč completely mistimed his tackle and brought down his opponent. The referee gave Dalibor Takáč a yellow card, his second in the match, which meant he could no longer take part in the game. Dalibor Takáč hit a great freekick 61 minutes into the match. A collision led to ACD Potiguar getting a freekick after 63 minutes play. Efrain Harkaitz hit a great ball. Ronaldo Tepedino struck a weak shot in the 66th minute. Dino Valle didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for ACD Potiguar. If Clemente Montenegro had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 73rd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Dino Valle made an important save on a dangerous shot by Romeu de Almeida in the 77th minute. Romeu de Almeida received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 78th minute. Dino Valle tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Dino Valle didn't have a chance when a screaming shot from Romeu de Almeida went, in the 85th minute, to the upper right corner, 0-3 was the resulting score. After 89 minutes, Rolando Domenec mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the ACD Potiguar and the Mendonca players grew even worse after the yellow card. In the 89th match minute, ACD Potiguar was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Rolando Domenec to maneuver through the defense. Romeu de Almeida's shot straight on target was not completely harmless. The ball had pretty good speed, but Dino Valle firmly grabbed it by the left post. 96 minutes into the game, Edgar Queirós threw the ball into play from the sideline. ACD Potiguar's Rolando Domenec quickly snatched the ball and retained possesion. ACD Potiguar played a much better game than Mendonca and deserved their victory. The Mendonca players were clearly disappointed as they left the ground.
