Spectators: 5000 (Terracing: 4000, Seating: 1000, VIP seats: 0) Marcel Moraes started the match with the kick off in front of an excited audience. When Frédson Dracena came up free with the goalie in the 8th minute, the Itaju 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 Frédson Dracena couldn't finish the play. Raúl Ferraz showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Frédson Dracena in the 11th minute of the match. Frédson Dracena fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 14th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Raúl Ferraz having to interfere. If Erik Valadares had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 19th minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. In the 22nd minute Marcel Moraes shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Cipriano Prestes saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. In the 24th minute, Carlos Alberto Prata made a precise shot to the right of Raúl Ferraz. Barcelona's defense was at fault, and the scoreboard reflected the new score, 0-1. Marcel Moraes sent away a hard shot on goal in the 28th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. In the 31st minute, Marcel Moraes fired away a shot on goal. He put a little to much spin on the ball and sent it just wide of the right post. The supporters of Barcelona booed when Itaju was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 33 match minutes in a wonderful position. Nelsinho Barral didn't get a good kick on the ball. After 33 played minutes, Barcelona's Léo Paulista shot from a long distance, and at first it looked like the ball was going into the goal, but the goalkeeper Cipriano Prestes came through and got his fingers on the ball before it flew over the goal line. He then quickly gripped the ball tighter before the forwards in Barcelona reached it. Luís Guilherme Seco's shot straight on target was not completely harmless. The ball had pretty good speed, but Cipriano Prestes firmly grabbed it by the left post. Frédson Dracena sent away a hard shot on goal in the 43rd minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Disappointed in the 0-1 score, the home team went to the dressing room to adjust tactics for the second half.

The wind increased when Frédson Dracena made the kick off in the second half. In the 54th minute Luís Paulo Bittencourt suffered a thigh injury and had to be helped off the field. 54 minutes into the game, Frédson Dracena was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. Itaju's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave Barcelona the free kick. Frédson Dracena received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 61st minute. Raúl Ferraz tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. The crowd rose to their feet as Itaju's Frédson Dracena slotted home a wonderful shot that went in to the left of Raúl Ferraz. That made the score 0-2 after 68 minutes of play. Luís Guilherme Seco fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 75th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Cipriano Prestes having to interfere.

Romeu Gaúcho struck a weak shot in the 93rd minute. Cipriano Prestes didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Barcelona. In the 95th minute the ball was on its way in behind Barcelona's goalkeeper Raúl Ferraz, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. The away crowd were delighted with the way their team had played and cheered loudly when the final whistle sounded. Itaju walked away with the win, even though the match was close until the end.
