Spectators: 5000 (Terracing: 4000, Seating: 1000, VIP seats: 0) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Raúl de Medeiros started the match with the kick off. When Diego Neves fell near the penalty area in the 7th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Quijingue's protests and gave Diego Neves a yellow card for diving instead.

After some fancy dribbling in the 36th minute, Raúl de Medeiros managed to get in a good position for a shot. Quijingue's supporters rose to their feet, but Raúl de Medeiros was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Şenol Yaren breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. If Pedrão Motta had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 38th minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. In the 44th minute Erik Pitta shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Cacá Valladares saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line.

In the 54th match minute, Quijingue was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Michel Sabóia to maneuver through the defense. Şenol Yaren showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Raúl de Medeiros, who was totally free with the ball in the 61st minute. The audience was convinced that Raúl de Medeiros's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Şenol Yaren was relentless in the 61st minute of the game.

Durvalino de Souza took a chance and fired a shot far from the goal in the 69th minute, but it turned out to be a dangerous situation for Şenol Yaren. GRASSHOPPERS F.C's goalkeeper really had to stretch himself to stop the ball from crossing the goal line. An unexpectedly hard shot by Diego Neves in the 71st minute of play forced GRASSHOPPERS F.C's goalkeeper Şenol Yaren to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. 72 minutes into the match, Erik Pitta had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Cacá Valladares. Quijingue's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Erik Pitta was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 0-1. 81 minutes into the game, Quijingue's Danilo Britto nearly tore a hole in the net with a booming shot. Şenol Yaren made a valiant effort, but he could not reach the ball in time, 1-1. 85 minutes into the match, GRASSHOPPERS F.C's goal looked a bit too open when Danilo Britto came free, but Şenol Yaren reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line.
