Spectators: 7034 (Terracing: 5409, Seating: 1575, VIP seats: 50) The mood of the audience was pleasant when Dalmo Tavares made the kick off which started today's match. When Alex de Toledo came up free with the goalie in the 10th minute, the Gois 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 Alex de Toledo couldn't finish the play. Dalmo Tavares fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 20th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without João Pedro Moraes having to interfere. Caio Meira sent away a hard shot on goal in the 23rd minute, but the ball hit the crossbar and went out. A very good chance for a goal. Edmundo Braga sent away a hard shot on goal in the 25th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. In the 27th minute, Caio Meira ran past the defenders and hit a shot which went straight ahead into goal. Acácio Paes was frozen by the shot and now it was 1-0. After having played for 31 minutes, Caio Meira managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Gois's supporters crossed their fingers, but Caio Meira was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. 38 minutes into the match, Valparaiba SC's goalkeeper Acácio Paes had to clear away a ball on his right side after a cunning shot by Caio Meira. When the referee blew for the end of the half the home team players were clearly happier, as they went in to the break leading 1-0.

The players of the away team seemed most concentrated when Caio Meira stepped up to make the kick off in the second half. Alex de Toledo sent away a hard shot on goal in the 53rd minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Edmundo Braga sent away a hard shot on goal in the 55th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. After 59 minutes, Edmundo Braga mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Gois and the Valparaiba SC players grew even worse after the yellow card. A collision led to Gois getting a freekick after 59 minutes play. Edmundo Braga hit a great ball. After some fancy dribbling in the 60th minute, Toninho França managed to get in a good position for a shot. Valparaiba SC's supporters rose to their feet, but Toninho França was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. João Pedro Moraes breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. Alex de Toledo fired away a difficult shot at goal in the 70th minute. He almost succeeded, but the ball went over. It was a very nice shot. Edmundo Braga struck a weak shot in the 71st minute. Acácio Paes didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Gois. If Kauan Madureira had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 84th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. In the 89th minute Alex de Toledo shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Acácio Paes saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. If Dalmo Tavares had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 94th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Edmundo Braga kicked well hit freekick during the 96th minute of the match. It was no surprise that this one had ended in a win for the home team. Gois had played much better football throughout.
