Spectators: 7700 (Terracing: 5776, Seating: 1771, VIP seats: 153) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Magno das Neves started the match with the kick off. If Magno das Neves had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 2nd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Kania Gostyń's Edmund Chrobak played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Magno das Neves in the 6th minute of play. An unexpectedly hard shot by Cláudio Donatello in the 15th minute of play forced Kania Gostyń's goalkeeper Edmund Chrobak to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. 18 minutes into the match, Bem Bolado's goal looked a bit too open when Lucjan Waselewicz came free, but Tiaguinho Sergipano reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line.

The hometeam waved at the audience when it was time for Lucjan Waselewicz to strike the kick off in the second half.
