Spectators: 7537 (Terracing: 5654, Seating: 1733, VIP seats: 150) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Silvério Paraense started the match with the kick off. Dimitri Payet struck a weak shot in the 8th minute. Samir Yaybüke didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for ҜΔΜƗҜΔŽ€Ş ĆƗΜŽ. An unexpectedly hard shot by Silvério Paraense in the 10th minute of play forced Raichu JK's goalkeeper Samir Yaybüke to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. In the 13th minute, Dimitri Payet made a precise shot to the right of Samir Yaybüke. Raichu JK's defense was at fault, and the scoreboard reflected the new score, 1-0. In the 19th minute, Dimitri Payet reached a very good position and smashed the ball with a huge effort into the net, just to the left of Samir Yaybüke. The goal made the score 2-0.

Cafu Mazza took a chance and fired a shot far from the goal in the 25th minute, but it turned out to be a dangerous situation for Samir Yaybüke. Raichu JK's goalkeeper really had to stretch himself to stop the ball from crossing the goal line. After some fancy dribbling in the 27th minute, Dimitri Payet managed to get in a good position for a shot. ҜΔΜƗҜΔŽ€Ş ĆƗΜŽ's supporters rose to their feet, but Dimitri Payet was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Samir Yaybüke breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. If Silvério Paraense had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 29th minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. After 40 minutes, Luciano Mangueira mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the ҜΔΜƗҜΔŽ€Ş ĆƗΜŽ and the Raichu JK players grew even worse after the yellow card.

The players of the away team seemed most concentrated when Ercan Kaan stepped up to make the kick off in the second half. In the 51st minute, Válbson Aguiar ran past the defenders and hit a shot which went straight ahead into goal. Samir Yaybüke was frozen by the shot and now it was 3-0. Dimitri Payet might have been able to make a better finish in the 63rd minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Samir Yaybüke. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Dimitri Payet ran back to his position shaking his head. If Ercan Kaan had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 67th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead.

ҜΔΜƗҜΔŽ€Ş ĆƗΜŽ's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave Raichu JK the free kick. With a little luck, ҜΔΜƗҜΔŽ€Ş ĆƗΜŽ's Fabien Barthez got control of the ball when Ercan Kaan tried to sneak it across the goal line. If Dimitri Payet had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 77th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead.

When Ercan Kaan came up free with the goalie in the 82nd minute, the Raichu JK 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 Ercan Kaan couldn't finish the play. After 87 played minutes ҜΔΜƗҜΔŽ€Ş ĆƗΜŽ got a freekick which was hit by Adilson Loyola. Luizão Perez made in the 94th minute of the game a throw-in that took a bad bounce and was taken care of by Raichu JK's Bora Han Ozaner.
