Isaias Quirze was not in position, and could only watch the ball fly in. After having played for 40 minutes, Alfredo Dimo managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Mercado Paulista F.C's supporters crossed their fingers, but Alfredo Dimo was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. The referee was alert and spotted a serious foul by Inocencio Matai during the 44th minute. The player immediately received a yellow card.

Inocencio Matai got his second yellow card in the match during the 92nd minute which meant that he had to leave the ground.
