Spectators: 6656 (Terracing: 5000, Seating: 1656, VIP seats: 0) The supporters of Annel AD booed when Araporanga SS was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 9 match minutes in a wonderful position. Zézinho Proença didn't get a good kick on the ball. Gláuber Lara was probably a little too eager to shoot when he, in the 9th played minute, shot the ball from way out. The shot was hard, but the ball flew wide of the goal. Benjamin Coutinho sent away a hard shot on goal in the 17th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. After having played for 20 minutes, Evaristo Arósio managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Araporanga SS's supporters crossed their fingers, but Evaristo Arósio was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. Luís Eduardo Godoi took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Ricardo Meirelles, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Hernani Soeiro fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 28th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Luís Eduardo Godoi having to interfere. Benjamin Coutinho fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 30th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Natã Gaúcho having to interfere.

After a rather tough play, Araporanga SS's Zézinho Proença got a free kick in the 41st minute. After a very even first half the match was still tied.

The hometeam waved at the audience when it was time for Ricardo Meirelles to strike the kick off in the second half. After recieving a nice pass, Araporanga SS's Wanderson Machado tried to score from far away in the 53rd minute, but the ball went over the crossbar. Natã Gaúcho stood somewhat misplaced when Evaristo Arósio came free in front of goal and shot 0-1 to the left of him in the 57 minute. Natã Gaúcho made an important save on a dangerous shot by Benjamin Coutinho in the 66th minute. Elias Faria kicked well hit freekick during the 75th minute of the match. If Ricardo Meirelles had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 78th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. In the 81st minute, Benjamin Coutinho made a precise shot to the right of Natã Gaúcho. Annel AD's defense was at fault, and the scoreboard reflected the new score, 0-2. An unexpectedly hard shot by Evaristo Arósio in the 84th minute of play forced Annel AD's goalkeeper Natã Gaúcho to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Hernani Soeiro might have been able to make a better finish in the 93rd minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Luís Eduardo Godoi. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Hernani Soeiro ran back to his position shaking his head. Luís Eduardo Godoi made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Ricardo Meirelles in the 95th minute of play. The away crowd were delighted with the way their team had played and cheered loudly when the final whistle sounded. Araporanga SS walked away with the win, even though the match was close until the end.
