Spectators: 5050 (Terracing: 4000, Seating: 1000, VIP seats: 50) Yuri Mineiro made the kick off and thus started the match. Telmo Baiano fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 6th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Gil Ramalho having to interfere. 8 minutes into the match, Fidelis's goal looked a bit too open when Telmo Baiano came free, but Gil Ramalho reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Luís Fábio de Carvalho might have been able to make a better finish in the 10th minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Gil Ramalho. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Luís Fábio de Carvalho ran back to his position shaking his head. After 12 minutes of play, Fidelis's Kaká Lopes made it 1-0 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Raí da Mata was left in no man's land by his defense there! After having played for 18 minutes, Cristian Moraes managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Fidelis's supporters crossed their fingers, but Cristian Moraes was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. In the 26th minute Telmo Baiano shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Gil Ramalho saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. In the 27th minute, Mário Tinoco hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. 34 minutes into the match, Cristian Moraes had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Raí da Mata. Palestra Itália's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Cristian Moraes was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 2-0. If Luís Fábio de Carvalho had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 42nd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead.

When the second half was about to start, both teams quickly lined up and Luís Fábio de Carvalho made a kick off. If Luís Fábio de Carvalho had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 54th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. After 56 minutes of play, Fidelis's Yuri Mineiro made it 3-0 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Raí da Mata was left in no man's land by his defense there! Luís Fábio de Carvalho received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 61st minute. Gil Ramalho tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Telmo Baiano succeeded to score despite a near miss that spronge from right pole into the goal to 3-1 in the 73rd playminute. When Cristian Moraes came up free with the goalie in the 80th minute, the Fidelis 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 Cristian Moraes couldn't finish the play. Palestra Itália's Raí da Mata played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Cristian Moraes in the 80th minute of play. Luisinho Ceresso kicked well hit freekick during the 81st minute of the match. Josué Moreira took a chance and fired a shot far from the goal in the 82nd minute, but it turned out to be a dangerous situation for Raí da Mata. Palestra Itália's goalkeeper really had to stretch himself to stop the ball from crossing the goal line. After some fancy dribbling in the 84th minute, Luís Fábio de Carvalho managed to get in a good position for a shot. Palestra Itália's supporters rose to their feet, but Luís Fábio de Carvalho was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Gil Ramalho breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. Telmo Baiano sent away a hard shot on goal in the 91st minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. In the 94th minute, Yuri Mineiro got an opportunity to score, but he didn't get a solid hit on the ball and ended up kicking it wide of the goal. The referee blew his whistle, and the match came to a close. The players exchanged shirts and headed down the tunnel. The Fidelis fans cheered their team off the field, for while Palestra Itália had put up a good fight, they were unable to come out of the game with any points to show for their effort.
