Spectators: 153 (Terracing: 115, Seating: 35, VIP seats: 3) The supporters of A.A. Francana booed when ADM Taquaras was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 3 match minutes in a wonderful position. Rodriguinho da Mata didn't get a good kick on the ball. Serginho Alagoano made in the 6th minute of the game a throw-in that took a bad bounce and was taken care of by ADM Taquaras's Rodriguinho da Mata. Delfim Maia received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 8th minute. Telmo Trigo tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. In the 15th minute Wilton Romero shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Rubinho Abreu saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. An unexpectedly hard shot by Wilton Romero in the 31st minute of play forced ADM Taquaras's goalkeeper Rubinho Abreu to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball.

In the 36th minute, Duarte Senna hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Rubinho Abreu made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Wilton Romero in the 47th minute of play. After the first half the score was level. The break gave the players a chance to catch their breath, whilst the managers went over the tactics with them again.

The wind increased when Dorival Fontes made the kick off in the second half. After a rather tough play, ADM Taquaras's João Corrêa got a free kick in the 56th minute. A.A. Francana's Serginho Alagoano got a good chance for a goal in the 57th minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. After some careless play in the ADM Taquaras defense, Armandinho Vergílio kicked a shot that curved into the net to the right of Rubinho Abreu. The ADM Taquaras fans voiced their displeasure as they felt that Rubinho Abreu should have stopped the shot. After having played for 71 minutes, Duarte Senna managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. ADM Taquaras's supporters crossed their fingers, but Duarte Senna was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. In the 81st minute, Marcel Viana ran past the defenders and hit a shot which went straight ahead into goal. Telmo Trigo was frozen by the shot and now it was 2-1. Telmo Trigo showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Delfim Maia, who was totally free with the ball in the 87th minute. Denílson Leite kicked well hit freekick during the 92nd minute of the match. Pedro Paulo Cruz's late challenge caught a A.A. Francana's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Pedro Paulo Cruz helped the player get up and apologised. Pedro Paulo Cruz kicked well hit freekick during the 96th minute of the match. Serginho Alagoano was probably a little too eager to shoot when he, in the 97th played minute, shot the ball from way out. The shot was hard, but the ball flew wide of the goal.
