Spectators: 5000 (Terracing: 4000, Seating: 1000, VIP seats: 0) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Marcelo Falcão took the kick off in the first half of the match. When Cipriano Fernandez fell near the penalty area in the 7th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Pantanal Futebol Clube's protests and gave Cipriano Fernandez a yellow card for diving instead. The long shot by Adalmo de Amorim in the 20th minute really tested Geovânio Albuquerque's skills. The ball was on its way into the goal to the left of him when he managed to stretch himself and save the shot and avoid a goal. In the 25th minute Guaimbe were awarded a corner. Baltazar Lopes went to the cornerflag to take it. The corner led Guaimbe's Baltazar Lopes to fire away a dangerous shot which Geovânio Albuquerque despite some difficulties managed to get hold on the ball. Pantanal Futebol Clube's Geovânio Albuquerque proved his good apprehension of play when he, in the 27th minute of the match, managed to save Pantanal Futebol Clube from getting a goal against them.
