Spectators: 444 (Terracing: 334, Seating: 102, VIP seats: 8) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Peng Sha Yang took the kick off in the first half of the match. The Dionisia fans' excitement grew in the 3rd match minute when Dionisia's Peng Sha Yang looked to have a clear shot with the ball near the goal. The shot wasn't hard, but the ball still rolled over the goal line to make it 0-1 before the goalkeeper had a chance to intervene. Xandeco FC's Guga de Azevedo played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Peng Sha Yang in the 6th minute of play. Dionisia's attentive Tomás Xacintu managed to snatch the ball when Luiz Torres made a throw-in in the 11th minute of the game. Vânderson Palmeira hit a great freekick 16 minutes into the match. 16 minutes into the match, Dionisia's Florencio Chano broke free and took a long shot that unfortunately flew wide. A fine initiative that could have resulted in a goal. An unexpectedly hard shot by Peng Sha Yang in the 29th minute of play forced Xandeco FC's goalkeeper Guga de Azevedo to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Edmund Balkiewicz might have been able to make a better finish in the 30th minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Serafim Eanes. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Edmund Balkiewicz ran back to his position shaking his head.

Florencio Chano was slow to take the kick. During this time Dionisia's players had a chance to rest. The corner went over the outstretched arms of Xandeco FC's goalie and right to Tomás Xacintu. He fired away a shot at goal, but the shot had too much spin, and it went just outside the goal. Xandeco FC's manager breathed a sigh of relief on the sidelines as his team had managed to escape an almost certain goal. In the 42nd minute Peng Sha Yang shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Guga de Azevedo saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line.
