Spectators: 7713 (Terracing: 5786, Seating: 1774, VIP seats: 153) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. João Paulo Neiva started the match with the kick off. After some careless play in the Mukifus FSCMZ defense, Daniel Garnero kicked a shot that curved into the net to the right of Marcos Saraiva. The Mukifus FSCMZ fans voiced their displeasure as they felt that Marcos Saraiva should have stopped the shot. If Nunez Camerino had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 9th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. João Paulo Neiva charged in rather forcefully in the 13th minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed João Paulo Neiva the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. After a rather tough play, Mukifus FSCMZ's João Paulo Neiva got a free kick in the 13th minute. Cosme Fulanito received a nice pass, split the defenders, and ran untouched towards the goal. Marcos Saraiva came out and tried to block the shot, but Cosme Fulanito slotted it home off the left post making it 2-0 in the 15th minute. Cosme Fulanito struck a weak shot in the 23rd minute. Marcos Saraiva didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Galmock FC. Marcos Saraiva showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Cosme Fulanito in the 25th minute of the match. Urbano Liher kicked well hit freekick during the 29th minute of the match. The referee was alert and spotted a serious foul by Diamantino Lendaa during the 35th minute. The player immediately received a yellow card. The audience thought a goal was coming when Florencio Varela got free with Marcos Saraiva in the 38th minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort.

The players of the home team were most fresh-looking when they entered the field to play the second half. Cornelio Del Rancho was the one to do the kick off. Mukifus FSCMZ's Marcos Saraiva played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Florencio Varela in the 53rd minute of play. If Cornelio Del Rancho had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 55th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. In the 57th minute, Wanderson dos Santos hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. After 60 minutes, Urbano Liher mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Galmock FC and the Mukifus FSCMZ players grew even worse after the yellow card. A collision led to Galmock FC getting a freekick after 61 minutes play. Urbano Liher hit a great ball. The supporters of Mukifus FSCMZ booed when Galmock FC was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 62 match minutes in a wonderful position. Cornelio Del Rancho didn't get a good kick on the ball. If William Sá had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 76th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. A collision led to Mukifus FSCMZ getting a freekick after 77 minutes play. Antônio Carlos Tróia hit a great ball. Thanks to some nice foot action and superb ball handling Florencio Varela in the 85th minute a chance for a shot on goal. With an extended leg and a bit of luck Marcos Saraiva prevented the ball from getting in the gole. 86 minutes into the match, Galmock FC's goalkeeper Kiur Vaalma had to clear away a ball on his right side after a cunning shot by Zé Lendaa. Marcos Saraiva didn't have a chance when a screaming shot from Tadeo Lizer went, in the 88th minute, to the upper right corner, 3-1 was the resulting score.
