Alvinegro Carioca's Cássio Aguiar played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Caetano Velloso in the 15th minute of play. 15 minutes into the match, Caetano Velloso notched a goal, 0-1, to the right of Alvinegro Carioca's Cássio Aguiar.

After a defensive mix-up in Toa Toa 4EVER's zone, Jefferson Mesquita stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Tarcio Bulisani came out of the goal and Jefferson Mesquita tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. The score stood at 1-1 when the half time whistle went. Both sets of players seemed reasonably pleased with how the match was going.

The players of the away team seemed most concentrated when Enrique Mota stepped up to make the kick off in the second half.

After 92 played minutes Alvinegro Carioca got a freekick which was hit by Allan Damião. When Yan das Neves fell near the penalty area in the 93rd minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick.
