Spectators: 7538 (Terracing: 5655, Seating: 1733, VIP seats: 150) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Válbson Rosa took the kick off in the first half of the match. If Válbson Rosa had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 3rd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. 7 minutes into the match, Natanael Prata notched a goal, 0-1, to the right of G.R.'s Armen Werthein. Armen Werthein was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. In the 10th minute Janko Kaplan shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Válter Alagoano saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. The corner led G.R.'s Gibor Shechter to fire away a dangerous shot which Válter Alagoano despite some difficulties managed to get hold on the ball. In the 14th match minute, Agroboys SM - CIMZ was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Elivélton de Amorim to maneuver through the defense.

In the 19th minute G.R. were awarded a corner. Gibor Shechter went to the cornerflag to take it. It was a well-played corner which Yoash Coppel managed to volley towards the net.

With a little luck, Agroboys SM - CIMZ's Válter Alagoano got control of the ball when Janko Kaplan tried to sneak it across the goal line. Janko Kaplan might have been able to make a better finish in the 44th minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Válter Alagoano. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Janko Kaplan ran back to his position shaking his head. All the noise was coming from the home fans when the whistle went for half-time. The home team had fought hardest to put themselves in a deserved lead.

The hometeam waved at the audience when it was time for Janko Kaplan to strike the kick off in the second half.

But the shot missed the goal by a fraction of an inch, and the fans sat back down disappointed that Yoash Coppel couldn't finish the play. In the 65th minute Janko Kaplan shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Válter Alagoano saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line.

Janko Kaplan fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 89th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Válter Alagoano having to interfere.
