In the 7th minute Valdomiro Salgado shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Carlos Alberto Nunes saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. The supporters of ROSÁRIO F.C booed when Horizonte EC was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 18 match minutes in a wonderful position. Felipe Dias didn't get a good kick on the ball. After having played for 19 minutes, Valdomiro Salgado managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. ROSÁRIO F.C's supporters crossed their fingers, but Valdomiro Salgado was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. After a rather tough play, Horizonte EC's Marquinhos Abreu got a free kick in the 22nd minute. Fabrício da Mata, 23 minutes into the match, dribbled the ball up the side of the field and decided to take a long shot at the goal. Unfortunately, the ball was poorly hit and landed closer to the corner than to the goal. 27 minutes into the match, ROSÁRIO F.C's goal looked a bit too open when Váldson Lopez came free, but Márcio Cardozo reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. After a rather tough play, ROSÁRIO F.C's Luís Fábio de Toledo got a free kick in the 28th minute. Váldson Lopez received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 29th minute.

Carlos Alberto Nunes took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Valdomiro Salgado, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. 35 minutes into the match, ROSÁRIO F.C's goal looked a bit too open when Váldson Lopez came free, but Márcio Cardozo reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line.

Germano de Lara kicked well hit freekick during the 44th minute of the match. After a good free kick, Germano de Lara got an opportunity to smash the ball into the goal, but unfortunately, the ball went just outside the goal, which resulted in a goal kick for Horizonte EC. The first half was very even, with the score at 0-0 when the whistle went for half-time. The players welcomed the break and quickly retired to the dressing rooms.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Valdomiro Salgado to make the kick off. Silvinho Romero sent away a hard shot on goal in the 56th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Váldson Lopez struck a weak shot in the 65th minute. Márcio Cardozo didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Horizonte EC. Márcio Cardozo made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Váldson Lopez in the 70th minute of play. Valdomiro Salgado received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 85th minute. Carlos Alberto Nunes tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere.
