A collision led to S.E.Kawasaky getting a freekick after 4 minutes play. Bruno Donatello hit a great ball. If Efrain Ortle had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 6th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. With a little luck, Fortaleza E.C's Cléber Tepedino got control of the ball when Delfim Travassos tried to sneak it across the goal line. With 16 minutes on the clock, Ian Botelho commited a dangerous tackle. The referee had no choice but to show him the red card. Ian Botelho hit a great freekick 17 minutes into the match. In the 21st match minute, Fortaleza E.C was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Bruno Jatsu to maneuver through the defense. Fortaleza E.C's José Carlos Guedes got a good chance for a goal in the 25th minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. In the 30th match minute, S.E.Kawasaky was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Bruno Donatello to maneuver through the defense. Cléber Tepedino made an important save on a dangerous shot by Kiko de Souza in the 35th minute. In the 36th minute, Caetano Ponta hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. After 37 played minutes, S.E.Kawasaky's Fausto do Vale shot from a long distance, and at first it looked like the ball was going into the goal, but the goalkeeper Cléber Tepedino came through and got his fingers on the ball before it flew over the goal line. He then quickly gripped the ball tighter before the forwards in S.E.Kawasaky reached it. After the first half the score was level. The break gave the players a chance to catch their breath, whilst the managers went over the tactics with them again.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Kiko Marquez to make the kick off. In the 55th minute, Bruno Jatsu hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Efrain Ortle might have been able to make a better finish in the 66th minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Anísio Ferraz. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Efrain Ortle ran back to his position shaking his head. An unexpectedly hard shot by Kiko de Souza in the 70th minute of play forced Fortaleza E.C's goalkeeper Cléber Tepedino to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. In the 73rd minute, Efrain Ortle 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. Anísio Ferraz made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from José Carlos Guedes in the 80th minute of play. The supporters of Fortaleza E.C booed when S.E.Kawasaky was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 80 match minutes in a wonderful position. Alberto Lucas didn't get a good kick on the ball. With a little luck, S.E.Kawasaky's Anísio Ferraz got control of the ball when Efrain Ortle tried to sneak it across the goal line.
