Spectators: 7272 (Terracing: 5456, Seating: 1672, VIP seats: 144) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Luiz Eduardo Marinho kicked off to start the match. Pedro Luís Pernambucano sent away a hard shot on goal in the 4th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Chiquinho Lima charged in rather forcefully in the 7th minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Chiquinho Lima the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. The supporters of Bora Bahêa Minha P booed when Itahum was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 7 match minutes in a wonderful position. Chiquinho Lima didn't get a good kick on the ball. If Cássio do Valle had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 11th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Aílton Tavares sent away a hard shot on goal in the 16th minute, but the ball hit the crossbar and went out. A very good chance for a goal. After 25 played minutes, Bora Bahêa Minha P's Chiquinho Gaspar shot from a long distance, and at first it looked like the ball was going into the goal, but the goalkeeper Manuel Rosa 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 Bora Bahêa Minha P reached it. Pedro Luís Pernambucano received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 29th minute. Cacá Magalhães tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. After 37 played minutes, Bora Bahêa Minha P's Chiquinho Gaspar shot from a long distance, and at first it looked like the ball was going into the goal, but the goalkeeper Manuel Rosa 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 Bora Bahêa Minha P reached it. When Ivo Costa fell near the penalty area in the 40th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Itahum's protests and gave Ivo Costa a yellow card for diving instead. An unexpectedly hard shot by Aílton Tavares in the 42nd minute of play forced Itahum's goalkeeper Manuel Rosa to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. In the 45th minute, Aílton Tavares got an opportunity to score, but he didn't get a solid hit on the ball and ended up kicking it wide of the goal. 47 minutes into the match, Itahum's Pedro Luís Pernambucano sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that Cacá Magalhães narrowly saved just below the crossbar. Luiz Eduardo Marinho fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 49th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Cacá Magalhães having to interfere.

The audience was convinced that Luiz Eduardo Marinho's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Cacá Magalhães was relentless in the 54th minute of the game. Manuel Rosa showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Cássio do Valle in the 69th minute of the match. Manuel Rosa took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Aílton Tavares, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. If Pedro Luís Pernambucano had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 86th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Cacá Magalhães made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Luiz Eduardo Marinho in the 88th minute of play. The away crowd were delighted with the way their team had played and cheered loudly when the final whistle sounded. Itahum walked away with the win, even though the match was close until the end.
