Duarte Neiva kicked well hit freekick during the 3rd minute of the match. The supporters of Itaguacu booed when CasaHolanda was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 4 match minutes in a wonderful position. Duarte Neiva didn't get a good kick on the ball. The audience was convinced that Quiróz Arozamena's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Thiago Neto was relentless in the 6th minute of the game. CasaHolanda's Thiago Neto played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Quiróz Arozamena in the 7th minute of play. If Quiróz Arozamena had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 11th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Thiago Neto took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Quiróz Arozamena, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. An unexpectedly hard shot by Quiróz Arozamena in the 17th minute of play forced CasaHolanda's goalkeeper Thiago Neto to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball.

In the 22nd match minute, Itaguacu was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Quiróz Arozamena to maneuver through the defense.

Thiago Neto stood for a superb save when he managed to get hold of Quiróz Arozamena's shot from short distance in the 40th minute. Luck had favoured the away team in the first, and they walked off with a 0-1 lead.

After some fancy dribbling in the 54th minute, Quiróz Arozamena managed to get in a good position for a shot. Itaguacu's supporters rose to their feet, but Quiróz Arozamena was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Thiago Neto breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. 57 minutes into the match, Wilian Zanette had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Romário Britto. Itaguacu's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Wilian Zanette was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 1-1. Thiago Neto made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Quiróz Arozamena in the 63rd minute of play. Itaguacu's Alfredinho Andrade managed, thanks to a brazen rush, stole the ball on a throw-in made by Ezequiel Pinho in the 65 minute of the game. 66 minutes into the match, CasaHolanda's goal looked a bit too open when Quiróz Arozamena came free, but Thiago Neto reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line.

After a defensive mix-up in CasaHolanda's zone, Alfredinho Andrade stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Thiago Neto came out of the goal and Alfredinho Andrade tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play.
