Baltazar Luz kicked well hit freekick during the 5th minute of the match. The attack was good, but when Inácio Vides in the 6th minute was about to shoot he didn't kick quite good enough and the ball went high over goal. After a defensive mix-up in Zandonadi FC's zone, Ronaldinho das Neves stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Lucas Paraibano came out of the goal and Ronaldinho das Neves tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play.

After having played for 17 minutes, Inácio Vides managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal.

Inácio Vides sent away a hard shot on goal in the 23rd minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance.

After 31 played minutes BULL FC got a freekick which was hit by César Bastos. Inácio Vides struck a weak shot in the 38th minute. Lucas Paraibano didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for BULL FC. After 43 minutes, Igor Arruda mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the BULL FC and the Zandonadi FC players grew even worse after the yellow card. In the 43rd minute, Igor Arruda hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Magno Campidelis received a nice pass, split the defenders, and ran untouched towards the goal.

Inácio Vides fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 63rd minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Lucas Paraibano having to interfere. Lucas Paraibano showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Inácio Vides, who was totally free with the ball in the 65th minute. 68 minutes into the game, Rômulo Teixeira was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. Zandonadi FC's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave BULL FC the free kick.

Vivaldo Varela recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 69th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. José Vítor Cardoso took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from José Carlos da Mata, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Inácio Vides struck a weak shot in the 82nd minute. Lucas Paraibano didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for BULL FC. In the 85th minute, Zandonadi FC's goalie took a deep sigh of relief after Inácio Vides fired away a hard shot that went just outside the left post. Claudinei de Amorim took the ball and in the 87 minute, shot a rapid shot to the right of a surprised José Vítor Cardoso. José Vítor Cardoso dived to the right, and did manage to get a hand on the shot, but it still went into the right corner making it 3-0. 93 minutes into the match, Claudinei de Amorim notched a goal, 4-0, to the right of BULL FC's José Vítor Cardoso. José Vítor Cardoso was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. Many of BULL FC's supporters were seen to leave the ground early as it became clear their team was going to lose. BULL FC may have spent more time on the ball, but Zandonadi FC were more willing to take their chances and they walked away with the win.
