Spectators: 7375 (Terracing: 5532, Seating: 1696, VIP seats: 147) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Carlos Augusto Leme started the match with the kick off. OFF's André Luís Toscano proved his good apprehension of play when he, in the 4th minute of the match, managed to save OFF from getting a goal against them. Caetano Eger had several of the OFF's defenders around him in the penalty area when he, after 7 minutes of play, received a pass and succeeded in some way to shoot a shot which went straight ahead into goal. This resulted in a 1-0 score and a disappointed André Luís Toscano as he didn't even see the shot coming. Remo Gonçalves received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 10th minute. André Luís Toscano tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere.

In the 36th match minute, Faca na Caveira FC was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Dário Botelho to maneuver through the defense. When Manoel Botelho came up free with the goalie in the 37th minute, the OFF 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 Manoel Botelho couldn't finish the play.
