Mantzio Porlier came out of the goal and Osmar Donato tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. Cristóvão Paranaense's shot was meant for the net just under the crossbar, but Mantzio Porlier read the situation well and was quickly in position to make a wonderful save in the 7th minute of play. An unexpectedly hard shot by Dantae Prat in the 13th minute of play forced Izaltina FAD's goalkeeper Diego Valladares to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. 15 minutes had been played when some careless play by Claretiano FC's defense caused the ball to cross the line for a corner. Duda de Sousa was slow to take the kick. During this time Izaltina FAD's players had a chance to rest. The corner ended in Duda de Sousa almost managing to get the ball behind the net, but Claretiano FC's Mantzio Porlier did a great save. 19 minutes into the match, Izaltina FAD's goal looked a bit too open when Dantae Prat came free, but Diego Valladares reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. With his leg Diego Valladares managed to avoid a goal in the 20thth minute, when Claretiano FC's Dantae Prat fired away a shot with a lot of spin towards his right hand side. Osmar Donato took the ball and in the 22 minute, shot a rapid shot to the right of a surprised Mantzio Porlier. Mantzio Porlier dived to the right, and did manage to get a hand on the shot, but it still went into the right corner making it 0-1. In the 29th minute Duda de Sousa shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Mantzio Porlier saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Jaime Cabral charged in rather forcefully in the 30th minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Jaime Cabral the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. After a rather tough play, Izaltina FAD's Jaime Cabral got a free kick in the 30th minute. With a little luck, Izaltina FAD's Diego Valladares got control of the ball when Armando Urquiola tried to sneak it across the goal line. After 32 minutes, Cristóvão Paranaense mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Izaltina FAD and the Claretiano FC players grew even worse after the yellow card. Izaltina FAD's Diego Valladares played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Dantae Prat in the 38th minute of play. In the 39th minute of the match, Dantae Prat tried to roll the ball into the goal by the right post, but Diego Valladares saw his intentions and got control of the ball before it passed the line. 42 minutes into the match, Izaltina FAD's goal looked a bit too open when Dantae Prat came free, but Diego Valladares reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. The referee was alert and spotted a serious foul by Ricardinho Arantes during the 48th minute. The player immediately received a yellow card. Izaltina FAD's Luiz Alcântara was substituted for Rodriguinho Gonçalves. The first half was very even, with the score at 1-1 when the whistle went for half-time. The players welcomed the break and quickly retired to the dressing rooms.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Dantae Prat to make the kick off. Duda de Sousa could have scored with his fast shot on goal in the 60th minute of the match, but Mantzio Porlier made a huge save. When Osmar Donato fell near the penalty area in the 65th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Izaltina FAD's protests and gave Osmar Donato a yellow card for diving instead. Osmar Donato kicked well hit freekick during the 65th minute of the match. If Denis Segura had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 68th minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. Diego Valladares took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Denis Segura, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Osmar Donato fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 79th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Mantzio Porlier having to interfere. 88 minutes into the game, Denis Segura was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. Claretiano FC's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave Izaltina FAD the free kick. Denis Segura kicked well hit freekick during the 88th minute of the match. In the 91st minute, Leandro Alagoano hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. When Cristóvão Paranaense came up free with the goalie in the 98th minute, the Izaltina FAD fans jumped to their feet. But the shot missed the goal by a fraction of an inch, and the fans sat back down disappointed that Cristóvão Paranaense couldn't finish the play. In the 100th minute the ball was on its way in behind Claretiano FC's goalkeeper Mantzio Porlier, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. The teams fought very hard right up to the final whistle. Both sets of players were happy to go away with a draw.
