Spectators: 7624 (Terracing: 5719, Seating: 1753, VIP seats: 152) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Wilson Travassos kicked off to start the match. 2 minutes into the game, João Francisco Vargas was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. SANTOS F.C's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave AC Ony the free kick. After 5 minutes of play, AC Ony's Ciprian Caba made it 1-0 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Tadeu Moraes was left in no man's land by his defense there! Tadeu Moraes took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Vintilă Turcescu, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. With splendid footwork Donald Tusk arrived in front of goal to shoot 4-0 by the left pole in the game's 19th minute. Vintilă Turcescu might have been able to make a better finish in the 33rd minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Tadeu Moraes. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Vintilă Turcescu ran back to his position shaking his head. After 41 played minutes AC Ony got a freekick which was hit by Cipriano Chus. 43 minutes into the match, SANTOS F.C's Igor Gaspar sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that Cisco Rubial narrowly saved just below the crossbar.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Ciprian Caba to make the kick off. Tadeu Moraes came out of the goal in the 52nd minute to try and stop a shot by AC Ony's Vintilă Turcescu. But to his dismay, Vintilă Turcescu quickly shot the ball in between his legs and into the goal making it 5-0. In the 56th minute the ball was on its way in behind SANTOS F.C's goalkeeper Tadeu Moraes, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. Tadeu Moraes took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Ciprian Caba, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. In the 63rdth minute of the game Vintilă Turcescu who was perfectly placed tried to make a shot on goal, but SANTOS F.C's Tadeu Moraes was lucky and managed to grab hold of the ball. Tadeu Moraes showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Vintilă Turcescu, who was totally free with the ball in the 69th minute. Ciprian Caba fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 71st minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Tadeu Moraes having to interfere. AC Ony made a substitution. Albérico Lameiras replaced Donald Tusk. Albérico Lameiras's late challenge caught a SANTOS F.C's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Albérico Lameiras helped the player get up and apologised. After 74 played minutes AC Ony got a freekick which was hit by Albérico Lameiras. In the 75th match minute, AC Ony was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Albérico Lameiras to maneuver through the defense. 77 minutes into the match, SANTOS F.C's goal looked a bit too open when Ciprian Caba came free, but Tadeu Moraes reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Ciprian Caba struck a weak shot in the 79th minute. Tadeu Moraes didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for AC Ony. After 81 minutes of play, AC Ony's Ciprian Milan made it 7-0 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Tadeu Moraes was left in no man's land by his defense there! Angelo Secco received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 85th minute. Cisco Rubial tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Tadeu Moraes took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Ciprian Milan, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. It was no surprise that this one had ended in a win for the home team. AC Ony had played much better football throughout.
