Spectators: 8414 (Terracing: 6311, Seating: 1935, VIP seats: 168) Cordairo Torrente started the match with the kick off in front of an excited audience. 8 minutes into the match, Cordairo Torrente notched a goal, 0-1, to the right of Lupere FC - DMZ's Walmir Leme. Walmir Leme was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. Luis Galnares made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Daniel Nóbrega in the 18th minute of play. Walmir Leme showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Valery Cardeñosa, who was totally free with the ball in the 21st minute. 22 minutes into the match, Zé Augusto Mineiro had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Luis Galnares. Parque Europa FC's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Zé Augusto Mineiro was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 2-1. After a rather tough play, Parque Europa FC's Oso Cardeñosa got a free kick in the 25th minute. The supporters of Parque Europa FC booed when Lupere FC - DMZ was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 30 match minutes in a wonderful position. Valdo Mazza didn't get a good kick on the ball. Walmir Leme came out of the goal in the 31st minute to try and stop a shot by Parque Europa FC's Omar Vila. But to his dismay, Omar Vila quickly shot the ball in between his legs and into the goal making it 2-2. After some fancy dribbling in the 34th minute, Gonçalo Baptista managed to get in a good position for a shot. Lupere FC - DMZ's supporters rose to their feet, but Gonçalo Baptista was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Luis Galnares breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. In the 37th match minute, Parque Europa FC was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Guilabertus De la Torre to maneuver through the defense. After some careless play in the Parque Europa FC defense, Gonçalo Baptista kicked a shot that curved into the net to the right of Luis Galnares. The Parque Europa FC fans voiced their displeasure as they felt that Luis Galnares should have stopped the shot. After 48 played minutes Lupere FC - DMZ got a freekick which was hit by Jardel Guimarães. 50 minutes into the match, Lupere FC - DMZ's goal looked a bit too open when Cordairo Torrente came free, but Walmir Leme reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. No-one was surprised that the home team were leading 3-2 at half-time.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Gonçalo Baptista to make the kick off. Cordairo Torrente sent away a hard shot on goal in the 54th minute, but the ball hit the crossbar and went out. A very good chance for a goal. If Zé Augusto Mineiro had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 56th minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. Walmir Leme was a little too slow when Cordairo Torrente got a fine hit on the ball which went right into the goal in the 68th minute. The score was now 3-3. Lupere FC - DMZ made a substitution. Durvalino Ortiz replaced Daniel Nóbrega. Carmelo Olano hit a great freekick 74 minutes into the match. After a defensive mix-up in Parque Europa FC's zone, Gonçalo Baptista stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Luis Galnares came out of the goal and Gonçalo Baptista tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. Cordairo Torrente's shot was meant for the net just under the crossbar, but Walmir Leme read the situation well and was quickly in position to make a wonderful save in the 82nd minute of play. With a little luck, Lupere FC - DMZ's Walmir Leme got control of the ball when Valery Cardeñosa tried to sneak it across the goal line. After 85 played minutes Lupere FC - DMZ got a freekick which was hit by Flavinho Tavares. Parque Europa FC's players left the field with heads hung low after losing a match that had been finely balanced throughout.
