In the 4th minute, Fabiano Lima hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Felippe Esteves, 5 minutes into the match, dribbled the ball up the side of the field and decided to take a long shot at the goal. Unfortunately, the ball was poorly hit and landed closer to the corner than to the goal. Ademir Ferreira's shot was meant for the net just under the crossbar, but Jean Brito read the situation well and was quickly in position to make a wonderful save in the 6th minute of play. In the 9th minute Adriano da Cunha shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Luisinho Correia saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Luisinho Correia took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Benê Miranda, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Laerte Baiano hit a great freekick 11 minutes into the match. 17 minutes into the match, Cosenza Calcio's goal looked a bit too open when Carlinhos Soeiro came free, but Luisinho Correia reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. After some fancy dribbling in the 19th minute, Ademir Ferreira managed to get in a good position for a shot. Cosenza Calcio's supporters rose to their feet, but Ademir Ferreira was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Jean Brito breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. Rodriguinho Salles sent away a hard shot on goal in the 21st minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. If Benê Miranda had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 22nd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. A collision led to Okay getting a freekick after 24 minutes play. Lino Berger hit a great ball. Ademir Ferreira recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 25th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. A sloppy throw-in by Lino Berger in the 27th minute of the game went astray and was snapped up by Cosenza Calcio's Pedro Luiz Arósio. Benê Miranda scored 0-1 in the 30th match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Luisinho Correia, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. After a defensive mix-up in Cosenza Calcio's zone, Benê Miranda stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Luisinho Correia came out of the goal and Benê Miranda tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. Luisinho Correia took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Adriano da Cunha, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Rodriguinho Salles blasted a shot towards the goal in the 38th minute, but the shot hit the top of the crossbar and went out without Jean Brito having to make a save. In the 41st minute the ball was on its way in behind Cosenza Calcio's goalkeeper Luisinho Correia, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. The Cosenza Calcio players were disheartened as they walked off the pitch after the first half. Okay were winning 0-1.

Juarês Arantes hit a great ball. Okay's Jean Brito played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Rodriguinho Salles in the 79th minute of play. Laerte Baiano's late challenge caught a Okay's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card.
