Spectators: 7448 (Terracing: 5587, Seating: 1713, VIP seats: 148) The mood of the audience was pleasant when Tomé Baptista made the kick off which started today's match. Ronaldão Souza showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Alejandro Garnacho, who was totally free with the ball in the 6th minute. Tomé Baptista sent away a hard shot on goal in the 15th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. After 16 played minutes KPO BIZARRO got a freekick which was hit by Adrian Katia. If Carlinhos Rodrigues had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 20th minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. The supporters of FORMIGÃO DE BRAGA booed when KPO BIZARRO was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 23 match minutes in a wonderful position. Adrian Katia didn't get a good kick on the ball. In the 25th minute, Simon Ieltxu made a precise shot to the right of Ronaldão Souza. FORMIGÃO DE BRAGA's defense was at fault, and the scoreboard reflected the new score, 0-1. In the 27th minute, Victorino Jenaro hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Ronaldão Souza took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Alejandro Garnacho, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. The corner ended in Ladislao Kusko almost managing to get the ball behind the net, but FORMIGÃO DE BRAGA's Ronaldão Souza did a great save. In the 41st match minute, KPO BIZARRO was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Anacleto Flores to maneuver through the defense. In the 42nd minute of the match José de Souza shot from a long distance. The ball could have gone into the goal to the right of the goalkeeper, but Fulgencio Larpe showed his good shape when he easily got hold of the ball. Adrian Katia received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 43rd minute. Ronaldão Souza tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Ronaldão Souza came out of the goal in the 45th minute to try and stop a shot by KPO BIZARRO's Simon Ieltxu. But to his dismay, Simon Ieltxu quickly shot the ball in between his legs and into the goal making it 0-2. Even after changing tactics the home team jogged off the field with a 0-2 deficit. They would have to work harder if they wanted to turn things around in the second half.

The wind increased when Simon Ieltxu made the kick off in the second half. 53 minutes into the game, João Francisco Barbosa was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. FORMIGÃO DE BRAGA's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave KPO BIZARRO the free kick. A collision led to FORMIGÃO DE BRAGA getting a freekick after 53 minutes play. João Francisco Barbosa hit a great ball. After a rather tough play, FORMIGÃO DE BRAGA's João Francisco Barbosa got a free kick in the 54th minute. The audience thought a goal was coming when Simon Ieltxu got free with Ronaldão Souza in the 55th minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort. After a defensive mix-up in FORMIGÃO DE BRAGA's zone, Ermegildo Poz stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Ronaldão Souza came out of the goal and Ermegildo Poz tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. In the 68th match minute, KPO BIZARRO was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Ernesto Montay to maneuver through the defense. The audience was convinced that Alejandro Garnacho's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Ronaldão Souza was relentless in the 73rd minute of the game. Simon Ieltxu received a nice pass, split the defenders, and ran untouched towards the goal. Ronaldão Souza came out and tried to block the shot, but Simon Ieltxu slotted it home off the left post making it 0-3 in the 77th minute. In the 87th minute Alejandro Garnacho shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Ronaldão Souza saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. In the 90th minute, Alejandro Garnacho left the goalkeeper for dead before tapping the ball into the right side of the net. The KPO BIZARRO fans were clearly happy with the effort and the scoreboard reflected the new score: 0-4. After some fancy dribbling in the 96th minute, Tomé Baptista managed to get in a good position for a shot. FORMIGÃO DE BRAGA's supporters rose to their feet, but Tomé Baptista was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Fulgencio Larpe breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick.
