Spectators: 7573 (Terracing: 5681, Seating: 1741, VIP seats: 151) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Paulo Macedo kicked off to start the match.

But the shot missed the goal by a fraction of an inch, and the fans sat back down disappointed that Ademar Cavalcante couldn't finish the play.

After a defensive mix-up in Aesir FC FSCMZ's zone, Beto Meireles stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat.
