Spectators: 7201 (Terracing: 5402, Seating: 1656, VIP seats: 143) SuperCampeõesRJ's Doni Sarmento started the match with a crisp pass.

Raimundo Azevedo breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. Baltazar Mendonça's late challenge caught a SuperCampeõesRJ's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain.
