Spectators: 7477 (Terracing: 5609, Seating: 1719, VIP seats: 149) The sun was shining, the grass was green and the audience cheered when Hélio Granja got the match started through his kick off. An unexpectedly hard shot by Hélio Granja in the 10th minute of play forced CA INCAS's goalkeeper Esteve Cerilo to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. 12 minutes into the match, Erubiel Jusepe had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Delfim Brás. MEXACOMX's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Erubiel Jusepe was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 1-0. In the 15th minute, Catarino Vilela hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Erubiel Jusepe had several of the MEXACOMX's defenders around him in the penalty area when he, after 17 minutes of play, received a pass and succeeded in some way to shoot a shot which went straight ahead into goal. This resulted in a 2-0 score and a disappointed Delfim Brás as he didn't even see the shot coming. Erubiel Jusepe sent away a hard shot on goal in the 19th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. If Hélio Granja had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 21st minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. After 26 minutes, Belchior Conde made it 2-1 with a short kick to the right side. CA INCAS's Esteve Cerilo tried to save the shot but he was too slow in reacting to the shot. After 30 minutes of play, CA INCAS's Saul Eskuin made it 3-1 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Delfim Brás was left in no man's land by his defense there! In the 39th minute Rodolfo Seabra shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Esteve Cerilo saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. An unexpectedly hard shot by Fabio Txerran in the 42nd minute of play forced MEXACOMX's goalkeeper Delfim Brás to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. When the referee blew for the end of the half the home team players were clearly happier, as they went in to the break leading 3-1.

The players of the away team seemed most concentrated when Erubiel Jusepe stepped up to make the kick off in the second half. When Hélio Granja came up free with the goalie in the 52nd minute, the MEXACOMX 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 Hélio Granja couldn't finish the play. A collision led to CA INCAS getting a freekick after 57 minutes play. Erubiel Jusepe hit a great ball. After 58 minutes, Saul Eskuin mouthed his way into the referee's book.
