Spectators: 7528 (Terracing: 5647, Seating: 1731, VIP seats: 150) The mood of the audience was pleasant when Bernabe Artizar made the kick off which started today's match. If Gualter Jacinto had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 3rd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. When PRO-BR™ -P.A.B-'s Luisinho da Mata in the 5th minute got a chance for a shot 5th didn't hesitate and placed the ball to the right of the goalie.

After some fancy dribbling in the 24th minute, Ediberto Gomes managed to get in a good position for a shot. PRO-BR™ -P.A.B-'s supporters rose to their feet, but Ediberto Gomes was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Benigno Silbestre breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. In the 30th minute, Inocencio Luar left the goalkeeper for dead before tapping the ball into the right side of the net. The Esmeralda AFC fans were clearly happy with the effort and the scoreboard reflected the new score: 1-0. Luisinho da Mata took the ball and in the 33 minute, shot a rapid shot to the right of a surprised Benigno Silbestre.
