Spectators: 144 (Terracing: 109, Seating: 33, VIP seats: 2) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Tomás Mazza kicked off to start the match.

Richard Vargas charged in rather forcefully in the 7th minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Richard Vargas the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. A collision led to Jardim América FC getting a freekick after 7 minutes play.

After 12 minutes Jardim América FC's defender was forced to head the ball over the line for a corner. It was Maicon Sousa who took care of the corner kick. After taking down the ball on Psiu!'s corner Maicon Sousa fired away a hard shot, but the defenders efficiently covered the most dangerous angles and Luan Ramos quite easily take care of the ball. After a defensive mix-up in Psiu!'s zone, Tomás Mazza stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Laércio Sá came out of the goal and Tomás Mazza tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. Sydney Gonçalves might have been able to make a better finish in the 21st minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Luan Ramos. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Sydney Gonçalves ran back to his position shaking his head. After 28 minutes, Tomás Mazza mouthed his way into the referee's book.

Mané Castro took the ball and in the 32 minute, shot a rapid shot to the right of a surprised Luan Ramos. Luan Ramos dived to the right, and did manage to get a hand on the shot, but it still went into the right corner making it 1-1. Afonso Galvão lost his temper 35 minutes into the game and shoved another player to the ground. He was immediately shown a red card. The referee blew the whistle for a penalty in the 35th minute of the game. One of Psiu!:s players had nearly got his shirt torn off by an opponent while getting free in front of Jardim América FC:s goal. Laércio Sá stood for a superb save when he managed to get hold of Enio Mangueira's shot from short distance in the 41st minute. Tomás Mazza received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 43rd minute. Laércio Sá tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. No-one was surprised that the home team were leading 2-1 at half-time.

If Mané Castro had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 56th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. In the 57th minute Tomás Mazza shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Laércio Sá saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Laércio Sá didn't have a chance when a screaming shot from Enio Mangueira went, in the 58th minute, to the upper right corner, 3-1 was the resulting score. Luan Ramos made an important save on a dangerous shot by 曲明强 in the 68th minute. If Tomás Mazza had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 71st minute.

After some fancy dribbling in the 77th minute, Mané Castro managed to get in a good position for a shot. Psiu!'s supporters rose to their feet, but Mané Castro was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Luan Ramos breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick.

Psiu! may have spent more time on the ball, but Jardim América FC were more willing to take their chances and they walked away with the win.
