A hard shot by Isaltino Mesquita from long distance, 16 minutes into the match, got Edgard Ferraz's attention. Through a fast twist with his body, he could stop the ball from going in on his right side. When the match had gone on for 18 minutes, Pedro Luís Machado took a quick shot and it went in 1-0 without a chance for Edgard Ferraz to make any attempt to save it. After a defensive mix-up in Piaca EC's zone, Pedro Luís Machado stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Edgard Ferraz came out of the goal and Pedro Luís Machado tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. It seemed to be an obvious goal in the 30th minute, but Edgard Ferraz got his fingers on the ball or the save, leaving Piaca EC hanging dry this time. After a rather tough play, Verdadeiros's Edmílson de Almeida got a free kick in the 31st minute. Richard Castro's shot was meant for the net just under the crossbar, but Sebastião Godoi read the situation well and was quickly in position to make a wonderful save in the 33rd minute of play. 35 minutes into the match, Verdadeiros's goal looked a bit too open when Richard Castro came free, but Sebastião Godoi reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. The first half was very even, with the score at 1-1 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. Pedro Luís Machado was the one to do the kick off. Edgard Ferraz showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Severino Breckenfeld in the 53rd minute of the match. Waldir Prado kicked well hit freekick during the 62nd minute of the match. Júnior Carioca fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 65th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Sebastião Godoi having to interfere. The audience was convinced that Júnior Carioca's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Sebastião Godoi was relentless in the 70th minute of the game. In the 71st minute, Rafa de Barros hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Júnior Carioca fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 75th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Sebastião Godoi having to interfere. In the 81st minute, Júnior Carioca 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. Severino Breckenfeld struck a weak shot in the 86th minute. Edgard Ferraz didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Verdadeiros. With a little luck, Verdadeiros's Sebastião Godoi got control of the ball when Richard Castro tried to sneak it across the goal line. The referee blew the whistle for a penalty in the 95th minute of the game. One of Piaca EC:s players had nearly got his shirt torn off by an opponent while getting free in front of Verdadeiros:s goal.
