Spectators: 41 (Terracing: 32, Seating: 9, VIP seats: 0) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Doriva Pombal started the match with the kick off. In the 14th minute Arnold Baaijen shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Andrézinho Viana saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Jason Statham took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Neno Ruychev, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. 26 minutes into the match, Bisca F.C's goal looked a bit too open when Claudio Paul came free, but Andrézinho Viana reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Doriva Pombal could have scored with his fast shot on goal in the 28th minute of the match, but Jason Statham made a huge save. Bisca F.C's Andrézinho Viana played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Arnold Baaijen in the 34th minute of play. In the 38th minute Zé da Fonseca shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Jason Statham saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Claudio Paul's shot was meant for the net just under the crossbar, but Andrézinho Viana read the situation well and was quickly in position to make a wonderful save in the 42nd minute of play. In the 45th minute, Tadeáš Janošek hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. After a very even first half the match was still tied. The players went to their respective dressing rooms to discuss the tactics for the second half.

In the 50th minute Claudio Paul shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Andrézinho Viana saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. With a couple of smart ball manuevers Claudio Paul in the 58th managed to get into a good position. With a left leg Andrézinho Viana saved Bisca F.C from getting behind. Jason Statham took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Doriva Pombal, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. 62 minutes into the match, Claudio Paul dribbled the ball past the defender and swiftly kicked the ball to the left of Andrézinho Viana, 0-1. When Jefferson Damião came up free with the goalie in the 65th minute, the Bisca F.C 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 Jefferson Damião couldn't finish the play. Andrézinho Viana was out of position in the 69 minute of play, and Claudio Paul capitalized on the mistake with a soft shot into the goal. Claudio Paul really showed his touch with that goal: 0-2. In the 79th minute Doriva Pombal shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Jason Statham saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Jorge Almiron sent away a hard shot on goal in the 83rd minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Andrézinho Viana made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Jorge Almiron in the 87th minute of play. After having played for 95 minutes, Doriva Pombal managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Bisca F.C's supporters crossed their fingers, but Doriva Pombal was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. The away crowd were delighted with the way their team had played and cheered loudly when the final whistle sounded. Rzepiko Wrocław walked away with the win, even though the match was close until the end.
