Spectators: 7449 (Terracing: 5588, Seating: 1713, VIP seats: 148) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Natã Luz took the kick off in the first half of the match. The supporters of Pangarés FC booed when PreservemospolladeaguaFC was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 10 match minutes in a wonderful position. Lluciano Carceles didn't get a good kick on the ball. Joaquin Roca showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Natã Luz, who was totally free with the ball in the 16th minute. Eskuin Llorente could have scored with his fast shot on goal in the 18th minute of the match, but Rony Antunes made a huge save. After a rather tough play, PreservemospolladeaguaFC's Frodo Blazquez got a free kick in the 20th minute. After some careless play in the PreservemospolladeaguaFC defense, Guto Machado kicked a shot that curved into the net to the right of Joaquin Roca. The PreservemospolladeaguaFC fans voiced their displeasure as they felt that Joaquin Roca should have stopped the shot. After 30 minutes, Gabriel Arce mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Pangarés FC and the PreservemospolladeaguaFC players grew even worse after the yellow card. Gabriel Arce got his second yellow card in the match during the 33rd minute which meant that he had to leave the ground. After 34 played minutes Pangarés FC got a freekick which was hit by Gabriel Arce. Joaquin Roca showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Falcão Paiva in the 37th minute of the match. Eskuin Llorente struck a weak shot in the 46th minute. Rony Antunes didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for PreservemospolladeaguaFC. Disappointed in the 0-1 score, the home team went to the dressing room to adjust tactics for the second half.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Eskuin Llorente to make the kick off. A collision led to PreservemospolladeaguaFC getting a freekick after 55 minutes play. Frodo Blazquez hit a great ball. Eskuin Llorente took the ball and in the 63 minute, shot a rapid shot to the right of a surprised Rony Antunes. Rony Antunes dived to the right, and did manage to get a hand on the shot, but it still went into the right corner making it 1-1. After 67 minutes, Jânio Prestes mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Pangarés FC and the PreservemospolladeaguaFC players grew even worse after the yellow card. The supporters of PreservemospolladeaguaFC booed when Pangarés FC was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 68 match minutes in a wonderful position. Jânio Prestes didn't get a good kick on the ball. Rony Antunes showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Eskuin Llorente, who was totally free with the ball in the 69th minute. Remir Vagrande might have been able to make a better finish in the 78th minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Rony Antunes. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Remir Vagrande ran back to his position shaking his head. Joaquin Roca came out of the goal in the 82nd minute to try and stop a shot by Pangarés FC's Natã Luz. But to his dismay, Natã Luz quickly shot the ball in between his legs and into the goal making it 1-2. Natã Luz recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 88th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. If Natã Luz had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 90th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. The referee was alert and spotted a serious foul by Guga Félix during the 94th minute. The player immediately received a yellow card. In the 94th minute, Guga Félix hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. With a couple of smart ball manuevers Eskuin Llorente in the 95th managed to get into a good position. With a left leg Rony Antunes saved Pangarés FC from getting behind. The PreservemospolladeaguaFC fans had already started to leave before the final whistle blew. Pangarés FC were clearly better and deserved to take the win.
