Hugo Sobral sent away a hard shot on goal in the 6th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. A collision led to AMLUCHO getting a freekick after 10 minutes play. Avelino Magalhães hit a great ball. Leandro Lucian struck a weak shot in the 12th minute. Zarco Vaz didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for El coca fc. Luciano Aballe was a little too slow when Olívio Sousa got a fine hit on the ball which went right into the goal in the 14th minute. The score was now 1-0. Palmiro Moniz's late challenge caught a El coca fc's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card.

After a rather tough play, AMLUCHO's Palmiro Moniz got a free kick in the 21st minute. 29 minutes into the match, Leandro Lucian notched a goal, 1-1, to the right of AMLUCHO's Zarco Vaz. Zarco Vaz was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. After a rather tough play, El coca fc's Celestino Pio got a free kick in the 32nd minute. In the 33rd minute, Olívio Sousa hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Octavio Blasco hit a great freekick 37 minutes into the match. The audience thought a goal was coming when Olívio Sousa got free with Luciano Aballe in the 39th minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort. Benicio Mendez was astounded when the referee showed him the red card after a seemingly innocent challenge, 40 minutes into the match. After a rather tough play, El coca fc's Benicio Mendez got a free kick in the 41st minute. Celestino Pio struck a weak shot in the 45th minute. Zarco Vaz didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for El coca fc. Thanks to some nice foot action and superb ball handling Artemio Rainerio in the 48th minute a chance for a shot on goal. With an extended leg and a bit of luck Zarco Vaz prevented the ball from getting in the gole.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Palmiro Moniz to make the kick off. The supporters of AMLUCHO booed when El coca fc was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 55 match minutes in a wonderful position. Hernan Lobo didn't get a good kick on the ball. El coca fc's Luciano Aballe played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Hugo Sobral in the 59th minute of play. After having played for 63 minutes, Celestino Pio managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. El coca fc's supporters crossed their fingers, but Celestino Pio was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. Camilo Roldanillo hit a great freekick 65 minutes into the match. Leandro Lucian could have scored with his fast shot on goal in the 68th minute of the match, but Zarco Vaz made a huge save. After a rather tough play, El coca fc's Camilo Roldanillo got a free kick in the 69th minute. In the 76th minute, Honorato Lizbeth hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. If Honorato Lizbeth had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 80th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. After a defensive mix-up in AMLUCHO's zone, Leandro Lucian stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Zarco Vaz came out of the goal and Leandro Lucian tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. The second half was just like the first, even and exciting. The match ended in a draw.
