Spectators: 152 (Terracing: 114, Seating: 35, VIP seats: 3) Olavo Carioca made the kick off and thus started the match. Arlindo Teixeira fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 3rd minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Cássio de Senna having to interfere. In the 9th minute Didi Ferreira shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Cássio de Senna saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Cássio de Senna showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Ronaldão Araújo, who was totally free with the ball in the 15th minute.

Conrado Fernandez made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Olavo Carioca in the 51st minute of play. 54 minutes into the match, Armando Tróia had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Conrado Fernandez. Abutres 2003 FDP's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Armando Tróia was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 2-0.

Cássio de Senna made an important save on a dangerous shot by Didi Ferreira in the 68th minute. When Luiz Nóbrega fell near the penalty area in the 73rd minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick.
