Spectators: 7231 (Terracing: 5425, Seating: 1663, VIP seats: 143) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Rodolfo Ramalho started the match with the kick off. Nilson Andrade hit a great freekick 4 minutes into the match. Alfredinho Araújo was in the perfect position, and the defense had done a good job marking him, but Rodolfo Ramalho showcased his skills and made a perfect shot to score 1-0 in the 5 minute of play. Manchester Kings F.C's Walmyr Goiano played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Nuno Linhares in the 9th minute of play. Jararaita AD's Nuno Linhares got a good chance for a goal in the 11th minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. If Nuno Linhares had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 13th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Walmyr Goiano took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Gino Pontes, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. After a rather tough play, Manchester Kings F.C's Natanael Motta got a free kick in the 17th minute. Manchester Kings F.C's Walmyr Goiano played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Nuno Linhares in the 18th minute of play. After 20 minutes, Claudinho Pontes mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Manchester Kings F.C and the Jararaita AD players grew even worse after the yellow card. After 19 minutes of play, the referee blew the whistle. It was a penalty for Manchester Kings F.C! In the 21st minute there was a penalty for Jararaita AD. Matheus Soares stepped forward and shot the ball to the right of a diving Walmyr Goiano. 1-1. Fellipe Gaúcho sent away a hard shot on goal in the 28th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. In the 29th minute, Matheus Soares hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Alfredinho Araújo was a little too slow when Rodolfo Ramalho got a fine hit on the ball which went right into the goal in the 48th minute. The score was now 2-1. Af the end of the first half the score was 2-1. The first half had gone as expected for the home team.

The players of the away team seemed most concentrated when Nuno Linhares stepped up to make the kick off in the second half. Fellipe Gaúcho fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 54th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Alfredinho Araújo having to interfere. After some fancy dribbling in the 56th minute, Rodolfo Ramalho managed to get in a good position for a shot. Manchester Kings F.C's supporters rose to their feet, but Rodolfo Ramalho was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Alfredinho Araújo breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. Luiz Paulo Senna charged in rather forcefully in the 57th minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Luiz Paulo Senna the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. Nuno Linhares sent away a hard shot on goal in the 60th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. The supporters of Jararaita AD booed when Manchester Kings F.C was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 75 match minutes in a wonderful position. Agostinho da Silva didn't get a good kick on the ball. 78 minutes into the match, Manchester Kings F.C's goal looked a bit too open when Nuno Linhares came free, but Walmyr Goiano reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. In the 83rd minute, Fellipe Gaúcho 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. Alfredinho Araújo took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Rodolfo Ramalho, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Gino Pontes might have been able to make a better finish in the 87th minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Walmyr Goiano. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Gino Pontes ran back to his position shaking his head. When the match had gone on for 88 minutes, Nuno Linhares took a quick shot and it went in 2-2 without a chance for Walmyr Goiano to make any attempt to save it. When Natanael Motta came up free with the goalie in the 94th minute, the Manchester Kings F.C 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 Natanael Motta couldn't finish the play. The final whistle blew with the score still tied, and both teams left the pitch thinking about the missed chances that could have given their team the win.
