Spectators: 7526 (Terracing: 5645, Seating: 1731, VIP seats: 150) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Julio Ekialde took the kick off in the first half of the match. After 6 minutes, Rodolfo Sedeni mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Rondeau and the Encanto players grew even worse after the yellow card. Rodolfo Sedeni kicked well hit freekick during the 6th minute of the match. 7 minutes into the match, 秦鸿云 dribbled the ball past the defender and swiftly kicked the ball to the left of Domingos Mambru, 2-0. After a rather tough play, Encanto's João Adolfo Santana got a free kick in the 13th minute. In the 16th match minute, Encanto was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Willian de Lima to maneuver through the defense. In the 17th minute the ball was on its way in behind Encanto's goalkeeper Rui de Mendonça, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. 20 minutes into the match, Rondeau's goalkeeper Domingos Mambru had to clear away a ball on his right side after a cunning shot by 秦鸿云. Domingos Mambru was out of position in the 27 minute of play, and João Adolfo Santana capitalized on the mistake with a soft shot into the goal. João Adolfo Santana really showed his touch with that goal: 3-0. In the 30th match minute, Encanto was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Joélson Moreira to maneuver through the defense. Denílson do Nascimento might have been able to make a better finish in the 33rd minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Domingos Mambru. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Denílson do Nascimento ran back to his position shaking his head. In the 34th match minute, Rondeau was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Sergio Maxin to maneuver through the defense. After having played for 35 minutes, Betão Sena managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Encanto's supporters crossed their fingers, but Betão Sena was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. A collision led to Rondeau getting a freekick after 43 minutes play. Miguel Inocente hit a great ball. When the referee blew for the end of the half the home team players were clearly happier, as they went in to the break leading 3-0.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell 秦鸿云 to make the kick off. João Adolfo Santana struck a weak shot in the 57th minute. Domingos Mambru didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Encanto. After some careless play in the Rondeau defense, 秦鸿云 kicked a shot that curved into the net to the right of Domingos Mambru. The Rondeau fans voiced their displeasure as they felt that Domingos Mambru should have stopped the shot. 62 minutes into the match, Encanto's goal looked a bit too open when Teodosio Primeiro came free, but Rui de Mendonça reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. 63 minutes into the match, João Adolfo Santana notched a goal, 5-0, to the right of Rondeau's Domingos Mambru. Domingos Mambru was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. In the 74th minute of the match Joélson Moreira sent off a long shot with destination to the right of the goalkeeper, but Domingos Mambru skillfully saved the ball. 80 minutes into the match, Encanto's goalkeeper Rui de Mendonça had to clear away a ball on his right side after a cunning shot by Miguel Inocente. Constantino Unax kicked well hit freekick during the 83rd minute of the match. Denílson do Nascimento fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 96th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Domingos Mambru having to interfere. The referee blew his whistle, and the match came to a close. The players exchanged shirts and headed down the tunnel. The Encanto fans cheered their team off the field, for while Rondeau had put up a good fight, they were unable to come out of the game with any points to show for their effort.
