Spectators: 6656 (Terracing: 5000, Seating: 1656, VIP seats: 0) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Ian Prata took the kick off in the first half of the match. After a rather tough play, Ingaseiro's Pedro Augusto Pires got a free kick in the 3rd minute. 7 minutes into the game, Joaquim Penha cracked a shot to the right of the goalkeeper, 1-0.

After 19 played minutes, Ingaseiro's Aírton Pontes shot from a long distance, and at first it looked like the ball was going into the goal, but the goalkeeper Murillo Peres 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 Ingaseiro reached it. Danilo Mello struck a weak shot in the 26th minute. Murillo Peres didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Ingaseiro.
