Spectators: 7989 (Terracing: 5993, Seating: 1837, VIP seats: 159) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Sydney Gonçalves took the kick off in the first half of the match. After some fancy dribbling in the 9th minute, Mané Castro managed to get in a good position for a shot. Psiu!'s supporters rose to their feet, but Mané Castro was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Albano Tallia breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. Maicon Sousa hit a great freekick 10 minutes into the match. After a defensive mix-up in Psiu!'s zone, Pol Fernández stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Laércio Sá came out of the goal and Pol Fernández tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. After a rather tough play, DξPΘЯΤIVØ 25's Ciro Niguel got a free kick in the 16th minute. In the 19th minute, Psiu!'s Mané Castro dribbled the ball into the box and hit a shot with the outside of his foot, sending the keeper the wrong way. 1-0. In the 22nd minute the ball was on its way in behind Psiu!'s goalkeeper Laércio Sá, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. Laércio Sá took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Ciro Niguel, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Ciro Niguel fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 33rd minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Laércio Sá having to interfere. In the 38th minute, Ciro Niguel ran past the defenders and hit a shot which went straight ahead into goal. Laércio Sá was frozen by the shot and now it was 1-1. In the 42nd minute, Maicon Sousa sent off a long shot on goal, but the shot was nowhere near the goal and DξPΘЯΤIVØ 25's Albano Tallia didn't even have to move. Ciro Niguel sent away a hard shot on goal in the 44th minute, but the ball hit the crossbar and went out. A very good chance for a goal. The referee was alert and spotted a serious foul by Pol Fernández during the 45th minute. The player immediately received a yellow card. Pol Fernández hit a great freekick 45 minutes into the match. After fighting hard for a draw in the first half, the players were able to take a much needed rest.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Mario Cesaro to make the kick off. After 55 played minutes Psiu! got a freekick which was hit by Sydney Gonçalves. A collision led to Psiu! getting a freekick after 72 minutes play. Raúl Nascimento hit a great ball. Patricio Raymond hit a great freekick 83 minutes into the match. In the 84th minute, Patricio Raymond hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. An unexpected shot in the 90th minute by Mario Cesaro got the crowd on their feet, but to their dismay it went out on the left side. Psiu!'s Laércio Sá proved his good apprehension of play when he, in the 90th minute of the match, managed to save Psiu! from getting a goal against them. When Pol Fernández was, once again, overly rough in his play he received his second yellow card and was ordered off the ground. 93 minutes had been played.
