Spectators: 160 (Terracing: 120, Seating: 37, VIP seats: 3) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Saúl Franco kicked off to start the match. Evandro Azeredo recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 6th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. Evandro Azeredo took the ball and in the 13 minute, shot a rapid shot to the right of a surprised Zarco Galvão. Zarco Galvão dived to the right, and did manage to get a hand on the shot, but it still went into the right corner making it 0-1. If Afonso Toscano had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 16th minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. LA COSA NOSTRA's Afonso Toscano got a good chance for a goal in the 20th minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. With an all-out effort, FC Beatriz 08's Jacob Lameiras threw himself towards the right post 25 minutes into the match and grabbed hold of the ball from Saúl Franco, which otherwise would have been placed in the net.
