Spectators: 6804 (Terracing: 5404, Seating: 1300, VIP seats: 100) The mood of the audience was pleasant when Luan Custódio made the kick off which started today's match. An unexpectedly hard shot by Tiago Catarinense in the 4th minute of play forced Imaculada AD's goalkeeper Edson Amorim to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. After a rather tough play, Imaculada AD's Edinho de Brito got a free kick in the 9th minute. Narciso Fontes might have been able to make a better finish in the 14th minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Edson Amorim. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Narciso Fontes ran back to his position shaking his head. Amadeu Hermes sent away a hard shot on goal in the 19th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. In the 20th minute the ball was on its way in behind Gremio's goalkeeper César Amaral, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. César Amaral showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Luan Custódio in the 23rd minute of the match. If Laércio de Medeiros had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 25th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Edson Amorim showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Tiago Catarinense in the 31st minute of the match. When Kaká Paiva fell near the penalty area in the 33rd minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Gremio's protests and gave Kaká Paiva a yellow card for diving instead. In the 33rd match minute, Gremio was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Kaká Paiva to maneuver through the defense. In the 40th minute of the match, Laércio de Medeiros got a very nice opportunity to score, but Edson Amorim was well-placed and pushed the ball away from the goal at the left post. 44 minutes into the game, Amadeu Hermes was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. Imaculada AD's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave Gremio the free kick. A collision led to Imaculada AD getting a freekick after 44 minutes play. Amadeu Hermes hit a great ball. Imaculada AD's Edson Amorim played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Tiago Catarinense in the 47th minute of play. The first half was very even, with the score at 0-0 when the whistle went for half-time. The players welcomed the break and quickly retired to the dressing rooms.

The players of the home team were most fresh-looking when they entered the field to play the second half. Tiago Catarinense was the one to do the kick off. The referee was alert and spotted a serious foul by Oscar Rosado during the 54th minute. The player immediately received a yellow card. In the 54th minute, Oscar Rosado hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. After some fancy dribbling in the 66th minute, Tiago Catarinense managed to get in a good position for a shot. Gremio's supporters rose to their feet, but Tiago Catarinense was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Edson Amorim breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. After 71 played minutes Imaculada AD got a freekick which was hit by César Falcão. Tiago Catarinense's shot was meant for the net just under the crossbar, but Edson Amorim read the situation well and was quickly in position to make a wonderful save in the 75th minute of play. Imaculada AD's Edson Amorim played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Tiago Catarinense in the 87th minute of play.

Gremio had played much better football throughout.
