Spectators: 5000 (Terracing: 4000, Seating: 1000, VIP seats: 0) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Jhon Rabelo kicked off to start the match. Válter Furtado fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 6th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Luiz Fernando Souza having to interfere. U18 Cruzeiro's attentive Raí Sá managed to snatch the ball when Fábio Recife made a throw-in in the 9th minute of the game. In the 19th minute Robinho Guerra shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Cipriano Catarinense saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. When Robinho Guerra fell near the penalty area in the 22nd minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored U18 Cruzeiro's protests and gave Robinho Guerra a yellow card for diving instead. Robinho Guerra kicked well hit freekick during the 23rd minute of the match. If Válter Furtado had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 29th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. If Álvaro Souza had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 35th minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. Álvaro Souza received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 47th minute. Luiz Fernando Souza tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. The score stood at 0-0 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 André Jacinto made a kick off. 63 minutes into the match, André Jacinto notched a goal, 2-0, to the right of U18 Cruzeiro's Luiz Fernando Souza. Luiz Fernando Souza was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. U18 Cruzeiro's Luiz Fernando Souza played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by André Jacinto in the 74th minute of play. Luiz Fernando Souza took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from André Jacinto, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. After some careless play in the Arabela defense, Jhon Rabelo kicked a shot that curved into the net to the right of Cipriano Catarinense. The Arabela fans voiced their displeasure as they felt that Cipriano Catarinense should have stopped the shot. In the 84th minute, Jhon Rabelo ran past the defenders and hit a shot which went straight ahead into goal. Cipriano Catarinense was frozen by the shot and now it was 2-2. 89 minutes into the game, Jhon Rabelo recieved a splendid long ball, split the defenders, and gently placed the ball to the left of Cipriano Catarinense. Jhon Rabelo showed that you don't have to tear a hole in the net to score, 2-3. After some fancy dribbling in the 95th minute, Válter Furtado managed to get in a good position for a shot. Arabela's supporters rose to their feet, but Válter Furtado was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Luiz Fernando Souza breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. If André Jacinto had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 97th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead.
