Spectators: 5000 (Terracing: 4000, Seating: 1000, VIP seats: 0) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Leonardo Bertassi took the kick off in the first half of the match. In the 5th minute, Waldemar Pontes fired away a shot on goal. He put a little to much spin on the ball and sent it just wide of the right post. Betinho Donatello fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 7th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Ian Maranhense having to interfere. After 9 minutes, Waldemar Pontes made it 1-0 with a short kick to the right side. Martirio AD's Ian Maranhense tried to save the shot but he was too slow in reacting to the shot. After having played for 12 minutes, Betinho Donatello managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Ermidinha's supporters crossed their fingers, but Betinho Donatello was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. An unexpectedly hard shot by Flávio da Silveira in the 16th minute of play forced Ermidinha's goalkeeper Hamílton Rosa to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Martirio AD's Charles Romero got a good chance for a goal in the 25th minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. After some fancy dribbling in the 27th minute, Elói Toscano managed to get in a good position for a shot. Martirio AD's supporters rose to their feet, but Elói Toscano was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Hamílton Rosa breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. A collision led to Martirio AD getting a freekick after 29 minutes play. Christian Viana hit a great ball. Thanks to some nice moves Betinho Donatello could shoot a difficult shot in the 30th minute, which Ian Maranhense however easily saved by the left post. With a couple of smart ball manuevers Leonardo Bertassi in the 36th managed to get into a good position. With a left leg Hamílton Rosa saved Ermidinha from getting behind. Flávio da Silveira received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 37th minute.

After a rather tough play, Ermidinha's Sílvio Luís Félix got a free kick in the 40th minute. With a little luck, Martirio AD's Ian Maranhense got control of the ball when Betinho Donatello tried to sneak it across the goal line. When Sílvio Luís Félix was, once again, overly rough in his play he received his second yellow card and was ordered off the ground. 44 minutes had been played. 45 minutes into the game, Martirio AD's Bruninho da Mata nearly tore a hole in the net with a booming shot. Hamílton Rosa made a valiant effort, but he could not reach the ball in time, 1-1. After a very even first half the match was still tied. The players went to their respective dressing rooms to discuss the tactics for the second half.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Betinho Donatello to make the kick off. In the 51st minute, Luiz Eduardo Alvarenga hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Ian Maranhense showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Márcio Garcia in the 55th minute of the match. Hamílton Rosa came out of the goal in the 64th minute to try and stop a shot by Martirio AD's Elói Toscano. But to his dismay, Elói Toscano quickly shot the ball in between his legs and into the goal making it 1-2. If Betinho Donatello had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 68th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. A hard shot 74 in the game by Leonardo Bertassi from a close distance when the talented Hamílton Rosa managed to make a qualified save. Ermidinha's players were relieved. The crowd rose to their feet as Bruninho da Mata kicked a wonderful shot that went in to the left of a diving Hamílton Rosa. That made the score 1-3 in the 80 minute of play. The crowd rose to their feet as Martirio AD's Leonardo Bertassi slotted home a wonderful shot that went in to the left of Hamílton Rosa.

Ian Maranhense made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Betinho Donatello in the 92nd minute of play. Leonardo Bertassi struck a weak shot in the 96th minute. Hamílton Rosa didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Martirio AD. The Ermidinha fans had already started to leave before the final whistle blew. Martirio AD were clearly better and deserved to take the win.
