Spectators: 7274 (Terracing: 5457, Seating: 1673, VIP seats: 144) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Christiano Lima took the kick off in the first half of the match. After 5 minutes, Zeca Bertassi mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Tormenta EC and the VZB FC players grew even worse after the yellow card. After 4 minutes of play, the referee blew the whistle. It was a penalty for Tormenta EC! In the 7th minute, VZB FC got a penalty, and Nilmar Quaresma placed the ball unsaveable into goal, by the right post. The supporters of VZB FC booed when Tormenta EC was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 9 match minutes in a wonderful position. Zeca Bertassi didn't get a good kick on the ball. In the 32nd minute the ball was on its way in behind Tormenta EC's goalkeeper Luiz Guilherme Magalhães, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. When Nelsinho Tande fell near the penalty area in the 35th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Tormenta EC's protests and gave Nelsinho Tande a yellow card for diving instead. Nelsinho Tande hit a great freekick 36 minutes into the match. Nilmar Quaresma sent away a hard shot on goal in the 40th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance.

Remo Batista was astounded when the referee showed him the red card after a seemingly innocent challenge, 48 minutes into the match. In the 47th minute, one of VZB FC:s players had the ball in front of the goal but got pushed and fell. The referee felt it was an obvious case and blew a penalty for VZB FC. Diamantino Abreu shot the penalty kick right outside the post. All the noise was coming from the home fans when the whistle went for half-time. The home team had fought hardest to put themselves in a deserved lead.

The players of the away team seemed most concentrated when Hortêncio Luz stepped up to make the kick off in the second half. Gilvan Gerber took the ball and in the 59 minute, shot a rapid shot to the right of a surprised Dráusio de Souza. Dráusio de Souza dived to the right, and did manage to get a hand on the shot, but it still went into the right corner making it 2-1. In the 64th minute, Carlos Fernando Paraibano hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Luiz Guilherme Magalhães took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Nilmar Quaresma, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. In the 69th minute Hortêncio Luz shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Luiz Guilherme Magalhães saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. If Hortêncio Luz had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 75th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead.

Most of them had left early, disgusted by the way their team had been torn apart. VZB FC fully deserved thier win.
