After a rather tough play, Botafogo MZRJ's Serginho Azevedo got a free kick in the 10th minute.

After a very even first half the match was still tied. The players went to their respective dressing rooms to discuss the tactics for the second half.

The wind increased when Noel Pimenta made the kick off in the second half. 52 minutes into the match, Olov Söder notched a goal, 1-0, to the right of Botafogo MZRJ's Férid Khalifa. Férid Khalifa was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. In the 59th minute, one of Botafogo MZRJ:s players had the ball in front of the goal but got pushed and fell. The referee felt it was an obvious case and blew a penalty for Botafogo MZRJ. After a rather tough play, OSASCO FC's Betinho Pimenta got a free kick in the 63rd minute. Gilvan Falcão fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 64th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Paulão Alfaks having to interfere. Paulão Alfaks took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Gilvan Falcão, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. When Gilmar Couto came up free with the goalie in the 78th minute, the Botafogo MZRJ fans jumped to their feet. But the shot missed the goal by a fraction of an inch, and the fans sat back down disappointed that Gilmar Couto couldn't finish the play. Botafogo MZRJ made a substitution. Jailson Capixaba replaced Gilmar Couto. After a defensive mix-up in OSASCO FC's zone, Gilvan Falcão stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Paulão Alfaks came out of the goal and Gilvan Falcão tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. A sloppy throw-in by Betinho Pimenta in the 86th minute of the game went astray and was snapped up by Botafogo MZRJ's Juvenal Camargo. 87 minutes into the match, OSASCO FC's goal looked a bit too open when Jailson Capixaba came free, but Paulão Alfaks reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Jailson Capixaba took the ball and in the 89 minute, shot a rapid shot to the right of a surprised Paulão Alfaks. Paulão Alfaks dived to the right, and did manage to get a hand on the shot, but it still went into the right corner making it 2-1. Botafogo MZRJ's Férid Khalifa played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Noel Pimenta in the 96th minute of play. OSASCO FC's fans were exulted and cheered after their team won in a match that could easily have gone the other way.
