Spectators: 7538 (Terracing: 5655, Seating: 1733, VIP seats: 150) The mood of the audience was pleasant when Tiago Gabriel Brodel made the kick off which started today's match. A collision led to Jardim Botânico getting a freekick after 3 minutes play. Márcio Cruz hit a great ball. In the 5th minute Tiago Gabriel Brodel shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Ademar Leme saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Pedro Paulo Cruz who was well placed in front of the goal fired away a dangerous shot that in the 12thth minute tested the skills of Gianluigi Buffon when he managed to save the team from getting behind. Tiago Gabriel Brodel sent away a hard shot on goal in the 16th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. 18 minutes into the match, Jardim Botânico's Pedro Paulo Cruz sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that Gianluigi Buffon narrowly saved just below the crossbar. 22 minutes into the game, Tiago Gabriel Brodel cracked a shot to the right of the goalkeeper, 0-1. Ademar Leme was not in position, and could only watch the ball fly in. Pedro Paulo Cruz kicked well hit freekick during the 25th minute of the match. In the 25th minute of the match Antônio de Azevedo shot from a long distance. The ball could have gone into the goal to the right of the goalkeeper, but Ademar Leme showed his good shape when he easily got hold of the ball. In the 30th minute, Jardim Botânico's Vladimir Almeida ran free of his marker and smoothly shot the ball into the goal behind Gianluigi Buffon. Gianluigi Buffon yelled at his defense, as they had left him out to dry. 1-1. Nico Alcântara sent away a hard shot on goal in the 34th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. When Gonçalo Valle fell near the penalty area in the 35th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Jardim Botânico's protests and gave Gonçalo Valle a yellow card for diving instead. With his leg Gianluigi Buffon managed to avoid a goal in the 38thth minute, when Jardim Botânico's Pedro Paulo Cruz fired away a shot with a lot of spin towards his right hand side. When Gonçalo Valle was, once again, overly rough in his play he received his second yellow card and was ordered off the ground. 41 minutes had been played. After 43 minutes, Tiago Gabriel Brodel made it 1-2 with a short kick to the right side. Jardim Botânico's Ademar Leme tried to save the shot but he was too slow in reacting to the shot. Jardim Botânico's Ademar Leme played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Tiago Gabriel Brodel in the 47th minute of play. The Jardim Botânico players were disheartened as they walked off the pitch after the first half. Apocalipse FC were winning 1-2.

The wind increased when Vladimir Almeida made the kick off in the second half. The crowd rose to their feet as Tiago Gabriel Brodel kicked a wonderful shot that went in to the left of a diving Ademar Leme. That made the score 1-3 in the 53 minute of play. Nico Alcântara had several of the Jardim Botânico's defenders around him in the penalty area when he, after 57 minutes of play, received a pass and succeeded in some way to shoot a shot which went straight ahead into goal. This resulted in a 1-4 score and a disappointed Ademar Leme as he didn't even see the shot coming. 61 minutes into the game, Tiago Gabriel Brodel was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. Apocalipse FC's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave Jardim Botânico the free kick. The supporters of Jardim Botânico booed when Apocalipse FC was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 61 match minutes in a wonderful position. Tiago Gabriel Brodel didn't get a good kick on the ball. Antônio de Azevedo fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 64th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Ademar Leme having to interfere. Tiago Gabriel Brodel received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 71st minute. Ademar Leme tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. In the 82nd minute, Vladimir Almeida hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Apocalipse FC's Tiago Gabriel Brodel got a good chance for a goal in the 90th minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. In the 91st minute the ball was on its way in behind Jardim Botânico's goalkeeper Ademar Leme, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. When the match was over Apocalipse FC could go home with a victory in their luggage, having controlled the game far better than Jardim Botânico throughout the match.
