Spectators: 158 (Terracing: 119, Seating: 36, VIP seats: 3) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Nilmar Vale took the kick off in the first half of the match. Kauan Meira took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Fabrício Queirós, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. 10 minutes into the match, Motta Futebol Clube's goal looked a bit too open when Nilmar Vale came free, but Júlio Prado reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Júlio Prado showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Nilmar Vale in the 12th minute of the match. In the 20th minute, Mazinho Pombal hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. When Yuri Goiano came up free with the goalie in the 21st minute, the México Eterno MZC 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 Yuri Goiano couldn't finish the play. An unexpectedly hard shot by Nilmar Vale in the 23rd minute of play forced Motta Futebol Clube's goalkeeper Júlio Prado to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. After a defensive mix-up in Motta Futebol Clube's zone, Alfredão Pereira stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Júlio Prado came out of the goal and Alfredão Pereira tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. João Carlos Correia received a nice pass, split the defenders, and ran untouched towards the goal. Kauan Meira came out and tried to block the shot, but João Carlos Correia slotted it home off the left post making it 1-0 in the 37th minute. Aloísio de Godoi's late challenge caught a Motta Futebol Clube's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Aloísio de Godoi helped the player get up and apologised. Kauan Meira made an important save on a dangerous shot by Celsinho de Sousa in the 41st minute. Júlio Prado showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Nilmar Vale in the 46th minute of the match. Fernando Martins fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 48th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Kauan Meira having to interfere.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Celsinho de Sousa to make the kick off. With a little luck, Motta Futebol Clube's Júlio Prado got control of the ball when Nilmar Vale tried to sneak it across the goal line. The supporters of Motta Futebol Clube booed when México Eterno MZC was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 63 match minutes in a wonderful position. Silvério de Queirós didn't get a good kick on the ball. A hard shot 68 in the game by Aloísio de Godoi from a close distance when the talented Júlio Prado managed to make a qualified save. Motta Futebol Clube's players were relieved. An unexpectedly hard shot by Alfredão Pereira in the 70th minute of play forced Motta Futebol Clube's goalkeeper Júlio Prado to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Celsinho de Sousa struck a weak shot in the 75th minute. Kauan Meira didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Motta Futebol Clube. After 89 minutes, Silvério de Queirós mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the México Eterno MZC and the Motta Futebol Clube players grew even worse after the yellow card. Silvério de Queirós kicked well hit freekick during the 89th minute of the match. The supporters of México Eterno MZC booed when Motta Futebol Clube was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 90 match minutes in a wonderful position. Fernando Martins didn't get a good kick on the ball. 92 minutes into the game, Yuri Goiano cracked a shot to the right of the goalkeeper, 1-1. Júlio Prado was not in position, and could only watch the ball fly in. México Eterno MZC were clearly unhappy with the draw, as they felt they had done enough to earn themselves a victory.
