Spectators: 36 (Terracing: 28, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) Amílton Ferreira made the kick off and thus started the match. After a rather tough play, ᴀᴄʜᴛᴜɴɢ ʙᴀʙɪᴇs ᴾᴵᴬᴿᴬ's Arnoldo Pasqual got a free kick in the 2nd minute. 4 minutes into the match, Amílton Ferreira notched a goal, 0-1, to the right of ᴀᴄʜᴛᴜɴɢ ʙᴀʙɪᴇs ᴾᴵᴬᴿᴬ's Severiano Raitin. Severiano Raitin was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. Braulio Solustiano's late challenge caught a Zemantauskas FC's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Braulio Solustiano helped the player get up and apologised. In the 6th minute, Braulio Solustiano hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Amílton Ferreira sent away a hard shot on goal in the 10th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. After a defensive mix-up in Zemantauskas FC's zone, Benjamin Arnas stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Almir Cruz came out of the goal and Benjamin Arnas tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. The audience thought a goal was coming when Benjamin Arnas got free with Almir Cruz in the 19th minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort. Almir Cruz made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Eriberto Florinio in the 22nd minute of play. After some careless play in the ᴀᴄʜᴛᴜɴɢ ʙᴀʙɪᴇs ᴾᴵᴬᴿᴬ defense, Amílton Ferreira kicked a shot that curved into the net to the right of Severiano Raitin. The ᴀᴄʜᴛᴜɴɢ ʙᴀʙɪᴇs ᴾᴵᴬᴿᴬ fans voiced their displeasure as they felt that Severiano Raitin should have stopped the shot. Esteve Arias's shot straight on target was not completely harmless. The ball had pretty good speed, but Almir Cruz firmly grabbed it by the left post. Esteve Arias who was well placed in front of the goal fired away a dangerous shot that in the 32ndth minute tested the skills of Almir Cruz when he managed to save the team from getting behind. Almir Cruz made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Eriberto Florinio in the 35th minute of play. If Amílton Ferreira had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 38th minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. Vitório Negri charged in rather forcefully in the 43rd minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Vitório Negri the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. After 43 played minutes Zemantauskas FC got a freekick which was hit by Vitório Negri. Eriberto Florinio took the ball and in the 44 minute, shot a rapid shot to the right of a surprised Almir Cruz. Almir Cruz dived to the right, and did manage to get a hand on the shot, but it still went into the right corner making it 1-2. Even after changing tactics the home team jogged off the field with a 1-2 deficit. They would have to work harder if they wanted to turn things around in the second half.

The hometeam waved at the audience when it was time for Esteve Arias to strike the kick off in the second half. If Esteve Arias had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 54th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. In the 61st minute the ball was on its way in behind Zemantauskas FC's goalkeeper Almir Cruz, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. Almir Cruz showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Eriberto Florinio in the 67th minute of the match. Amílton Ferreira kicked well hit freekick during the 68th minute of the match. Almir Cruz didn't have a chance when a screaming shot from Eriberto Florinio went, in the 69th minute, to the upper right corner, 2-3 was the resulting score. Almir Cruz made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Benjamin Arnas in the 73rd minute of play. 77 minutes into the game, Vitório Negri threw the ball into play from the sideline. ᴀᴄʜᴛᴜɴɢ ʙᴀʙɪᴇs ᴾᴵᴬᴿᴬ's Arnoldo Pasqual quickly snatched the ball and retained possesion. Rubens Reis kicked well hit freekick during the 79th minute of the match. The Zemantauskas FC supporters could be heard counting down the last seconds of the match. They errupted in celebration when the whistle blew, knowing Zemantauskas FC would go home with victory in their luggage after a match that easily could have ended differently.
