Spectators: 8019 (Terracing: 6016, Seating: 1844, VIP seats: 159) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Witold Bycofski kicked off to start the match. Guilherme Souza might have been able to make a better finish in the 3rd minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Mateusz Hajto. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Guilherme Souza ran back to his position shaking his head. Dragomir Breković fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 5th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Vítor Saraiva having to interfere. Mané Rocha kicked well hit freekick during the 6th minute of the match. When Dragomir Breković came up free with the goalie in the 7th minute, the Nieciece 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 Dragomir Breković couldn't finish the play. When Nieciece's Witold Bycofski in the 9th minute got a chance for a shot 9th didn't hesitate and placed the ball to the right of the goalie. A beautiful save bye Imbituba - FSCMZ's goalie prevented a goal. Witold Bycofski received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 11th minute. Vítor Saraiva tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere.

In the 38th minute, Ryszard Podwojski made a precise shot to the right of Vítor Saraiva. Imbituba - FSCMZ's defense was at fault, and the scoreboard reflected the new score, 0-1. Witold Bycofski scored 0-2 in the 43rd match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Vítor Saraiva, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. When Ezequiel Lara fell near the penalty area in the 47th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Imbituba - FSCMZ's protests and gave Ezequiel Lara a yellow card for diving instead.

When the second half was about to start, both teams quickly lined up and Lobo Guará made a kick off. Witold Bycofski's shot was meant for the net just under the crossbar, but Vítor Saraiva read the situation well and was quickly in position to make a wonderful save in the 53rd minute of play. With his leg Vítor Saraiva managed to avoid a goal in the 59thth minute, when Nieciece's Witold Bycofski fired away a shot with a lot of spin towards his right hand side. Witold Bycofski who was well placed in front of the goal fired away a dangerous shot that in the 66thth minute tested the skills of Vítor Saraiva when he managed to save the team from getting behind. Ryszard Podwojski sent away a hard shot on goal in the 72nd minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Nieciece's Miromir Kazanowski was substituted for Witold Bycofski. Mateusz Hajto showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Guilherme Souza in the 75th minute of the match.

When Júnior Mattos fell near the penalty area in the 91st minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Imbituba - FSCMZ's protests and gave Júnior Mattos a yellow card for diving instead. Nieciece played a much better game than Imbituba - FSCMZ and deserved their victory. The Imbituba - FSCMZ players were clearly disappointed as they left the ground.
