Spectators: 144 (Terracing: 109, Seating: 33, VIP seats: 2) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Durvalino Cavalcante kicked off to start the match. In the 11th minute, Rondinone F.C - FDFDF's Arnaldo Coutinho seemed to kick out at an opponent. The referee saw this and, surprisingly, showed Arnaldo Coutinho the red card, dismissing him from the pitch. The coaching staff of Rondinone F.C - FDFDF protested bitterly, but the referee would have none of it, and Arnaldo Coutinho had no choice but to slowly walk off the pitch. After 12 played minutes, Itapema's Vladimir Albuquerque shot from a long distance, and at first it looked like the ball was going into the goal, but the goalkeeper Samuca Bezerra came through and got his fingers on the ball before it flew over the goal line. He then quickly gripped the ball tighter before the forwards in Itapema reached it. Samuca Bezerra made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Amos Maietta in the 14th minute of play.

But the shot missed the goal by a fraction of an inch, and the fans sat back down disappointed that Sebastião Nascimento couldn't finish the play.
