Spectators: 7202 (Terracing: 5403, Seating: 1656, VIP seats: 143) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Bebeto Bittencourt kicked off to start the match. The PraçaUnited fans' excitement grew in the 3rd match minute when PraçaUnited's Serafim França looked to have a clear shot with the ball near the goal. The shot wasn't hard, but the ball still rolled over the goal line to make it 0-1 before the goalkeeper had a chance to intervene. Olívio Sergipano showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Bebeto Bittencourt, who was totally free with the ball in the 6th minute. If Marco Abraão had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 11th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Bebeto Bittencourt sent away a hard shot on goal in the 13th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance.

Luís Guilherme Branco showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Virgílio Brodel in the 25th minute of the match. When Virgílio Brodel came up free with the goalie in the 27th minute, the PraçaUnited 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 Virgílio Brodel couldn't finish the play. Falcão do Vale might have been able to make a better finish in the 32nd minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Luís Guilherme Branco. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Falcão do Vale ran back to his position shaking his head. Adhemar Montenegro blasted a shot towards the goal in the 43rd minute, but the shot hit the top of the crossbar and went out without Luís Guilherme Branco having to make a save.

Luís Guilherme Branco was not in position, and could only watch the ball fly in. Disappointed in the 0-2 score, the home team went to the dressing room to adjust tactics for the second half.
