Spectators: 7170 (Terracing: 5379, Seating: 1649, VIP seats: 142) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Aníbal de Castro started the match with the kick off. Serafim Matorin received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 8th minute. Luís Prado tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. If Cássio Hermes had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 13th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Ivo Porto hit a great freekick 14 minutes into the match. After 15 played minutes Snowford FC got a freekick which was hit by José Vítor Severo. 16 minutes into the match, Marau Fc's Eduardo Xavier broke free and took a long shot that unfortunately flew wide.

Luís Prado tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere.

Serafim Matorin scored 0-2 in the 27th match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Luís Prado, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. When the match had gone on for 34 minutes, Hugo de Amaral put it in 1-2 from a short distance just to the right of Walmyr Goiano. After a defensive mix-up in Marau Fc's zone, Serafim Matorin stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Luís Prado came out of the goal and Serafim Matorin tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. Walmyr Goiano made an important save on a dangerous shot by Cássio Hermes in the 43rd minute.

Luck had favoured the away team in the first, and they walked off with a 1-2 lead.

Serafim Matorin sent away a hard shot on goal in the 52nd minute, but the ball hit the crossbar and went out. A very good chance for a goal.

Raphael Carvalho's late challenge caught a Snowford FC's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Raphael Carvalho helped the player get up and apologised. After 60 minutes of play, Marau Fc's Hugo de Amaral made it 2-2 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Walmyr Goiano was left in no man's land by his defense there! In the 64th minute Pedro Luís Baiano shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Walmyr Goiano saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. In the 65th minute, Aníbal de Castro reached a very good position and smashed the ball with a huge effort into the net, just to the left of Luís Prado. The goal made the score 2-3. In the 70th minute, Hugo de Amaral 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. Cássio Hermes 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. Snowford FC's Walmyr Goiano played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Hugo de Amaral in the 86th minute of play. Hugo de Amaral might have been able to make a better finish in the 88th minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Walmyr Goiano. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Hugo de Amaral ran back to his position shaking his head. Aníbal de Castro sent away a hard shot on goal in the 90th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance.

When Snowford FC's Aníbal de Castro in the 95th minute got a chance for a shot 95th didn't hesitate and placed the ball to the right of the goalie. A beautiful save bye Marau Fc's goalie prevented a goal. Delfim Meirelles was shown his second yellow card after 95 minutes, following a rather ugly tackle on opponent. That was the end of his participation in the match. The Marau Fc supporters were disappointed that their team didn't take anything from the match, despite matching Snowford FC's performance. The match ended with a win for Snowford FC.
