Spectators: 7686 (Terracing: 5765, Seating: 1768, VIP seats: 153) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Cauã Batista kicked off to start the match. The H4K.BR fans' excitement grew in the 10th match minute when H4K.BR's Wanderson Penha looked to have a clear shot with the ball near the goal. The shot wasn't hard, but the ball still rolled over the goal line to make it 1-0 before the goalkeeper had a chance to intervene. Ciro Mincho made a fantastic save in the 15th minute, when Wanderson Penha sent off a good shot on target. Urbano Mede's late challenge caught a H4K.BR's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Urbano Mede helped the player get up and apologised. Yuri Vianna made in the 31st minute of the game a throw-in that took a bad bounce and was taken care of by Sacronas Futbol Club's Herminio Polentzi. Ciro Mincho took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Cauã Batista, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. An unexpectedly hard shot by Victorino Florinio in the 41st minute of play forced H4K.BR's goalkeeper Cléber Arantes to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. In the 42nd minute, Mateo Martino hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. In the 44th minute, Dráuzio Viana reached a very good position and smashed the ball with a huge effort into the net, just to the left of Ciro Mincho. The goal made the score 2-0. The home fans were very happy to see their team leading 2-0 at half-time.

When the second half was about to start, both teams quickly lined up and Mateo Martino made a kick off. Wanderson Penha fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 51st minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Ciro Mincho having to interfere. Victorino Florinio hit a great freekick 52 minutes into the match. After a defensive mix-up in Sacronas Futbol Club's zone, Cauã Batista stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Ciro Mincho came out of the goal and Cauã Batista tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. Faustão Fernandes hit a great freekick 64 minutes into the match. When Javier Austin fell near the penalty area in the 68th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Sacronas Futbol Club's protests and gave Javier Austin a yellow card for diving instead. The supporters of H4K.BR booed when Sacronas Futbol Club was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 68 match minutes in a wonderful position. Javier Austin didn't get a good kick on the ball. H4K.BR's Wanderson Penha got a good chance for a goal in the 71st minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. Ciro Mincho showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Cauã Batista, who was totally free with the ball in the 73rd minute. In the 78th minute Mateo Martino shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Cléber Arantes saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. 83 minutes into the game, H4K.BR's Cauã Batista nearly tore a hole in the net with a booming shot. Ciro Mincho made a valiant effort, but he could not reach the ball in time, 4-0. There were very few away supporters still in the ground by the end of the match. Most of them had left early, disgusted by the way their team had been torn apart. H4K.BR fully deserved thier win.
