Spectators: 7220 (Terracing: 5416, Seating: 1661, VIP seats: 143) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Manoel de Azevedo kicked off to start the match. After 4 minutes of play, the referee blew the whistle. It was a penalty for Centauros! The goalkeeper, Miguel Barbosa, was totally fooled by Só No Tranco F.C.'s Adrianinho Cabral, who 6 minutes into the game made a penalty shot that went in on the goalkeeper's left side. Diego Palmeira's shot was meant for the net just under the crossbar, but Guto Negri read the situation well and was quickly in position to make a wonderful save in the 14th minute of play. Cássio dos Santos received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 17th minute. Miguel Barbosa tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. In the 36th match minute, Só No Tranco F.C. was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Belmiro Azevedo to maneuver through the defense. Centauros's attacker deliberately struck the ball against an opponent to win a corner for his team. The corner was taken by Juninho Dias in the 39th minute. The corner ended in Juninho Dias almost managing to get the ball behind the net, but Só No Tranco F.C.'s Guto Negri did a great save. Matías Mendonça fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 45th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Miguel Barbosa having to interfere. With a couple of smart ball manuevers Manoel de Azevedo in the 48th managed to get into a good position. With a left leg Guto Negri saved Só No Tranco F.C. from getting behind.

Centauros's Diego Palmeira got a good chance for a goal in the 72nd minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. After 74 minutes, Diogo da Rocha mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Centauros and the Só No Tranco F.C. players grew even worse after the yellow card.

After having played for 89 minutes, Hugo Diniz managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Só No Tranco F.C.'s supporters crossed their fingers, but Hugo Diniz was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. Só No Tranco F.C.'s Cássio dos Santos got a good chance for a goal in the 94th minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar.
