Spectators: 7499 (Terracing: 5625, Seating: 1725, VIP seats: 149) Umberto Carneiro started the match with the kick off in front of an excited audience. Róbson Porto's shot was meant for the net just under the crossbar, but Rafael Mota read the situation well and was quickly in position to make a wonderful save in the 4th minute of play. It seemed to be an obvious goal in the 7th minute, but Benê Vale got his fingers on the ball or the save, leaving Galaxy Team hanging dry this time. Samuel Mello blasted a shot towards the goal in the 9th minute, but the shot hit the top of the crossbar and went out without Benê Vale having to make a save. Dedê Pinho fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 11th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Benê Vale having to interfere. Samuel Mello received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 16th minute. Benê Vale tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Armandinho Sá might have been able to make a better finish in the 27th minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Rafael Mota. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Armandinho Sá ran back to his position shaking his head. In the 31st minute, Dedê Pinho left the goalkeeper for dead before tapping the ball into the right side of the net. The SÓCANELA fans were clearly happy with the effort and the scoreboard reflected the new score: 1-0. If Armandinho Sá had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 35th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. 41 minutes into the match, Umberto Carneiro had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Rafael Mota. SÓCANELA's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Umberto Carneiro was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 1-1. Benê Vale made a fantastic save in the 44th minute, when Dedê Pinho sent off a good shot on target. The score stood at 1-1 when the half time whistle went. Both sets of players seemed reasonably pleased with how the match was going.

When the second half was about to start, both teams quickly lined up and Dedê Pinho made a kick off. Benê Vale didn't have a chance when a screaming shot from Dedê Pinho went, in the 54th minute, to the upper right corner, 2-1 was the resulting score. Benê Vale stood for a superb save when he managed to get hold of Dedê Pinho's shot from short distance in the 57th minute. The referee was alert and spotted a serious foul by Wilson Borges during the 59th minute. The player immediately received a yellow card. The supporters of SÓCANELA booed when Galaxy Team was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 59 match minutes in a wonderful position. Wilson Borges didn't get a good kick on the ball. When Dedê Pinho came up free with the goalie in the 60th minute, the SÓCANELA fans jumped to their feet. But the shot missed the goal by a fraction of an inch, and the fans sat back down disappointed that Dedê Pinho couldn't finish the play. In the 66th minute, Samuel Mello 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. 68 minutes into the match, Galaxy Team's goal looked a bit too open when Dedê Pinho came free, but Benê Vale reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Armandinho Sá sent away a hard shot on goal in the 71st minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. After 73 played minutes SÓCANELA got a freekick which was hit by Beto Vasconcelos. SÓCANELA's Rafael Mota played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Umberto Carneiro in the 73rd minute of play. In the 76th minute Dedê Pinho shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Benê Vale saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Samuel Mello fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 79th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Benê Vale having to interfere. SÓCANELA's Rafael Mota proved his good apprehension of play when he, in the 83rd minute of the match, managed to save SÓCANELA from getting a goal against them. Rafinha Pirani hit a great freekick 85 minutes into the match. The referee was alert and spotted a serious foul by Robinho da Cunha during the 92nd minute. The player immediately received a yellow card. A collision led to SÓCANELA getting a freekick after 93 minutes play. Robinho da Cunha hit a great ball. It was no surprise that this one had ended in a win for the home team. SÓCANELA had played much better football throughout.
