Spectators: 152 (Terracing: 114, Seating: 35, VIP seats: 3) The mood of the audience was pleasant when Alan Gaúcho made the kick off which started today's match. An unexpectedly hard shot by Lenílson Rodrigues in the 3rd minute of play forced Barbie Doll United U23's goalkeeper Frederico de Salles to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Alan Gaúcho's late challenge caught a Cactos's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Alan Gaúcho helped the player get up and apologised. In the 11th minute, Nelsinho Godoi hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Hamílton Trigo hit a great freekick 14 minutes into the match. With an all-out effort, Barbie Doll United U23's Amauri Prestes threw himself towards the right post 17 minutes into the match and grabbed hold of the ball from Alan Gaúcho, which otherwise would have been placed in the net. Walmyr Loureiro hit a great freekick 25 minutes into the match. Fabinho Simões kicked well hit freekick during the 27th minute of the match. Barbie Doll United U23's Nelsinho Godoi managed, thanks to a brazen rush, stole the ball on a throw-in made by Pedro Luiz Hermes in the 36 minute of the game. After 38 played minutes, Cactos's Lenílson Rodrigues shot from a long distance, and at first it looked like the ball was going into the goal, but the goalkeeper Frederico de Salles came through and got his fingers on the ball before it flew over the goal line. He then quickly gripped the ball tighter before the forwards in Cactos reached it. After having played for 41 minutes, Alan Gaúcho managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Barbie Doll United U23's supporters crossed their fingers, but Alan Gaúcho was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. 43 minutes into the match, Barbie Doll United U23's goal looked a bit too open when Fabinho Simões came free, but Frederico de Salles reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Reinaldo Teles to make the kick off. If Pedrão Arce had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 57th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Frederico de Salles made an important save on a dangerous shot by Ricardinho Valle in the 66th minute. Amauri Prestes showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Pedrão Arce, who was totally free with the ball in the 68th minute. After 70 played minutes Barbie Doll United U23 got a freekick which was hit by Waldemar de Godoi. Frederico de Salles came out of the goal in the 73rd minute to try and stop a shot by Cactos's Reinaldo Teles. But to his dismay, Reinaldo Teles quickly shot the ball in between his legs and into the goal making it 0-1. Amauri Prestes took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Waldemar de Godoi, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Pedrão Arce took the ball and in the 90 minute, shot a rapid shot to the right of a surprised Amauri Prestes. Amauri Prestes dived to the right, and did manage to get a hand on the shot, but it still went into the right corner making it 1-1. The second half was just like the first, even and exciting. The match ended in a draw.
