Spectators: 5000 (Terracing: 4000, Seating: 1000, VIP seats: 0) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Marcelo de Mendonça started the match with the kick off. A hard shot 3 in the game by Doni Sampaio from a close distance when the talented Lauro Santos managed to make a qualified save. LordMadara's players were relieved. Lauro Santos showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Giovani Brito in the 4th minute of the match. Doni Sampaio sent away a hard shot on goal in the 6th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out.

Vânderson Montenegro kicked well hit freekick during the 24th minute of the match. If Décio Abraão had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 25th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. When the match clock showed 28 minutes, the score became 1-1 when Doni Sampaio sped through LordMadara's defense and sent away a curving shot that went into the net to the right of Lauro Santos.

Décio Abraão scored 3-2 in the 77th match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Kiko Breckenfeld, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. Kiko Breckenfeld took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Marcelo de Mendonça, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. If Marcelo de Mendonça had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 82nd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead.
