Spectators: 7656 (Terracing: 5744, Seating: 1760, VIP seats: 152) Monumento Sports's Toninho Arruda started the match with a crisp pass. The crowd had been anticipating this game for weeks and the excitement in the stadium was easily visible. After some fancy dribbling in the 4th minute, Válter Siqueira managed to get in a good position for a shot. Monumento Sports's supporters rose to their feet, but Válter Siqueira was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. 吴挺振 breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. 重庆侠岚队's 吴挺振 played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Válter Siqueira in the 9th minute of play. After a defensive mix-up in 重庆侠岚队's zone, Toninho Arruda stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. 吴挺振 came out of the goal and Toninho Arruda tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. Válter Siqueira scored 0-1 in the 15th match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of 吴挺振, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. An unexpectedly hard shot by Válter Siqueira in the 20th minute of play forced 重庆侠岚队's goalkeeper 吴挺振 to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. After a rather tough play, Monumento Sports's Narciso Machado got a free kick in the 22nd minute. The long shot by 柯乐鹏 in the 23rd minute really tested Natanael Sena's skills. The ball was on its way into the goal to the left of him when he managed to stretch himself and save the shot and avoid a goal. In the 33rd minute, Válter Siqueira got an opportunity to score, but he didn't get a solid hit on the ball and ended up kicking it wide of the goal. Válter Siqueira received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 36th minute. 吴挺振 tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. The excitement rose when 重庆侠岚队's 柯乐鹏 after 44 played minutes turned away three defenders near the goal, and after that shot a ball that was too difficult for Monumento Sports's goalkeeper to hold. Score! 1-1. Narciso Machado fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 47th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without 吴挺振 having to interfere. 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 洪勇剑 to make the kick off. The throw-in from 陶雄崇 in the 56th minute of the game was unfortunally taken care of by Monumento Sports's Tiago Luz. 57 minutes into the match, Válter Siqueira dribbled the ball past the defender and swiftly kicked the ball to the left of 吴挺振, 1-2. When Klaas De Loose came up free with the goalie in the 62nd minute, the 重庆侠岚队 fans jumped to their feet. But the shot missed the goal by a fraction of an inch, and the fans sat back down disappointed that Klaas De Loose couldn't finish the play. Toninho Arruda blasted a shot towards the goal in the 63rd minute, but the shot hit the top of the crossbar and went out without 吴挺振 having to make a save. An unexpectedly hard shot by Toninho Arruda in the 63rd minute of play forced 重庆侠岚队's goalkeeper 吴挺振 to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. 吴挺振 made a fantastic save in the 66th minute, when Válter Siqueira sent off a good shot on target. Natanael Sena made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from 洪勇剑 in the 69th minute of play. After 75 played minutes 重庆侠岚队 got a freekick which was hit by 董庭帆. 吴挺振 showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Válter Siqueira in the 81st minute of the match. When the match was over Monumento Sports could go home with a victory in their luggage, having controlled the game far better than 重庆侠岚队 throughout the match.
