Spectators: 7177 (Terracing: 5385, Seating: 1650, VIP seats: 142) When Luís Gustavo Matos came up free with the goalie in the 4th minute, the Joga 10 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 Luís Gustavo Matos couldn't finish the play. Nilton Vides made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Giovanni Costa in the 14th minute of play. Guto de Azevedo might have been able to make a better finish in the 17th minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Ruy Prado. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Guto de Azevedo ran back to his position shaking his head. After a rather tough play, Felicidale FC's Giovanni Costa got a free kick in the 19th minute. In the 21st minute the ball was on its way in behind Felicidale FC's goalkeeper Ruy Prado, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. Ruy Prado took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Guto de Azevedo, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Guto de Azevedo sent away a hard shot on goal in the 26th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. 27 minutes into the match, Felicidale FC's goal looked a bit too open when Luís Gustavo Matos came free, but Ruy Prado reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Thomás de Moraes recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 32nd minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. Eduardo Salles fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 35th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Nilton Vides having to interfere. After 36 played minutes Joga 10 got a freekick which was hit by Luís Gustavo Matos. Thomás de Moraes could have scored with his fast shot on goal in the 41st minute of the match, but Nilton Vides made a huge save. 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 Guto de Azevedo to make the kick off. After having played for 60 minutes, Duarte Massa managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Joga 10's supporters crossed their fingers, but Duarte Massa was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. A collision led to Felicidale FC getting a freekick after 61 minutes play. Giovanni Costa hit a great ball. Felicidale FC's Ruy Prado proved his good apprehension of play when he, in the 63rd minute of the match, managed to save Felicidale FC from getting a goal against them. In the 65th minute of the match Joga 10 got a corner. Felicidale FC's goalie ran out to the linesman to protest the call, but the linesman resolutely pointed his flag at the cornerflag. Edgar Almeida ran over to the corner to take the kick. Duarte Massa charged in rather forcefully in the 66th minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Duarte Massa the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. After 66 played minutes Joga 10 got a freekick which was hit by Duarte Massa. Nilton Vides made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Eduardo Salles in the 74th minute of play. Guto de Azevedo received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 78th minute. Ruy Prado tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Thomás de Moraes blasted a shot towards the goal in the 83rd minute, but the shot hit the top of the crossbar and went out without Nilton Vides having to make a save. William Netto hit a great freekick 89 minutes into the match. The supporters of Joga 10 booed when Felicidale FC was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 92 match minutes in a wonderful position. Giovanni Costa didn't get a good kick on the ball. Many of Joga 10's supporters were seen to leave the ground early as it became clear their team was going to lose. Joga 10 may have spent more time on the ball, but Felicidale FC were more willing to take their chances and they walked away with the win.
