Spectators: 6653 (Terracing: 5000, Seating: 1653, VIP seats: 0) The sun was shining, the grass was green and the audience cheered when Tiaguinho Salgado got the match started through his kick off. After 5 minutes, Valdomiro da Silveira mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Elyahu Palmerense Campeao and the Eleuterio AD players grew even worse after the yellow card. Valdomiro da Silveira hit a great freekick 5 minutes into the match. In the 15th minute, Albertinho Paulista 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. Paulo Toledo sent away a hard shot on goal in the 18th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. After 22 minutes, Albertinho Paulista made it 0-1 with a short kick to the right side. Eleuterio AD's José Carlos Terra tried to save the shot but he was too slow in reacting to the shot. Ulysses Fernandez hit a great freekick 25 minutes into the match. Dinei Velasco sent away a hard shot on goal in the 28th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance.

Ulysses Fernandez's late challenge caught a Eleuterio AD's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Ulysses Fernandez helped the player get up and apologised. The supporters of Eleuterio AD booed when Elyahu Palmerense Campeao was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 35 match minutes in a wonderful position. Ulysses Fernandez didn't get a good kick on the ball. In the 37th minute of the match Eleuterio AD got a corner. Elyahu Palmerense Campeao's goalie ran out to the linesman to protest the call, but the linesman resolutely pointed his flag at the cornerflag. Narciso do Nascimento ran over to the corner to take the kick. The corner ended in Narciso do Nascimento almost managing to get the ball behind the net, but Elyahu Palmerense Campeao's Baltazar Tróia did a great save. In the 41st minute, Albertinho Paulista 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. Tiaguinho Salgado might have been able to make a better finish in the 44th minute when he tried to place a hard shot over José Carlos Terra. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Tiaguinho Salgado ran back to his position shaking his head. Disappointed in the 0-1 score, the home team went to the dressing room to adjust tactics for the second half.

Dinei Velasco fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 53rd minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Baltazar Tróia having to interfere. 55 minutes into the game, Ronaldo Porto was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. Eleuterio AD's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave Elyahu Palmerense Campeao the free kick. Ronaldo Porto kicked well hit freekick during the 55th minute of the match. The audience thought a goal was coming when Albertinho Paulista got free with José Carlos Terra in the 65th minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort. After some fancy dribbling in the 67th minute, Albertinho Paulista managed to get in a good position for a shot. Elyahu Palmerense Campeao's supporters rose to their feet, but Albertinho Paulista was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. José Carlos Terra breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. Tiaguinho Salgado received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 77th minute. José Carlos Terra tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. José Carlos Terra showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Tiaguinho Salgado in the 79th minute of the match. Baltazar Tróia showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Dinei Velasco, who was totally free with the ball in the 86th minute. After a defensive mix-up in Elyahu Palmerense Campeao's zone, Dinei Velasco stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Baltazar Tróia came out of the goal and Dinei Velasco tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. 90 minutes into the match, Eleuterio AD's goal looked a bit too open when Tiaguinho Salgado came free, but José Carlos Terra reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. 93 minutes into the match, Eleuterio AD's goalkeeper José Carlos Terra had to clear away a ball on his right side after a cunning shot by Albertinho Paulista. If Albertinho Paulista had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 94th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. When the match was over Elyahu Palmerense Campeao could go home with a victory in their luggage, having controlled the game far better than Eleuterio AD throughout the match.
