Celsinho de Moraes sent away a hard shot on goal in the 4th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. 11 minutes into the match, Luverdense Esporte Clube's goalkeeper Vivaldo Barros had to clear away a ball on his right side after a cunning shot by Genílson Costa. The audience was convinced that Luiz Guilherme Cosme's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Vivaldo Barros was relentless in the 13th minute of the game. An unexpectedly hard shot by Luiz Guilherme Cosme in the 16th minute of play forced Luverdense Esporte Clube's goalkeeper Vivaldo Barros to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball.

Luiz Guilherme Cosme was really disappointed when he shot the ball just outside the right post instead of scoring a goal in the 35th minute. Cazuqui's manager could be seen on the sidelines shaking his head and muttering to himself as his team had just wasted another chance.

Genílson Costa sent away a hard shot on goal in the 61st minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. After 65 played minutes, Cazuqui's Enio de Amorim shot from a long distance, and at first it looked like the ball was going into the goal, but the goalkeeper Vivaldo Barros 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 Cazuqui reached it. Vivaldo Barros made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Luiz Guilherme Cosme in the 66th minute of play.
