Spectators: 7443 (Terracing: 5583, Seating: 1712, VIP seats: 148) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Luiz Fernando Torres kicked off to start the match. In the 9th minute, Luiz Eduardo Matos hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. In the 17th minute, Luiz Fernando Torres got an opportunity to score, but he didn't get a solid hit on the ball and ended up kicking it wide of the goal. If Aírton Lucas had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 18th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Dark Dragons's Rodriguinho Valadares got a good chance for a goal in the 23rd minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. José Paulo Fernandes sent away a hard shot on goal in the 25th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. When Carlinhos Mattos fell near the penalty area in the 34th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Dark Dragons's protests and gave Carlinhos Mattos a yellow card for diving instead. In the 43rd minute, Gil Duarte hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Felipe Pires showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Luiz Fernando Torres, who was totally free with the ball in the 44th minute. In the 46th minute Luiz Fernando Torres shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Felipe Pires saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. The score stood at 0-0 when the half time whistle went. Both sets of players seemed reasonably pleased with how the match was going.

When the second half was about to start, both teams quickly lined up and José Paulo Fernandes made a kick off. Dark Dragons's Felipe Pires proved his good apprehension of play when he, in the 51st minute of the match, managed to save Dark Dragons from getting a goal against them. 53 minutes into the game, Gil Duarte was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. Dark Dragons's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave Coco AD the free kick. After a rather tough play, Dark Dragons's Gil Duarte got a free kick in the 53rd minute. José Paulo Fernandes sent away a hard shot on goal in the 55th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. José Paulo Fernandes might have been able to make a better finish in the 60th minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Eriberto Vieira. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. José Paulo Fernandes ran back to his position shaking his head. Luiz Fernando Torres hit a great freekick 62 minutes into the match. 64 minutes into the match, Coco AD's goal looked a bit too open when Rodriguinho Valadares came free, but Eriberto Vieira reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. After a rather tough play, Coco AD's Cícero Nunes got a free kick in the 64th minute. When Alan Penha came up free with the goalie in the 66th minute, the Dark Dragons 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 Alan Penha couldn't finish the play. After some fancy dribbling in the 69th minute, Laerte Almeida managed to get in a good position for a shot. Dark Dragons's supporters rose to their feet, but Laerte Almeida was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Eriberto Vieira breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. Eriberto Vieira showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Laerte Almeida, who was totally free with the ball in the 75th minute. If Aírton Lucas had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 77th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Aírton Lucass short, quick shot in the 81stth minute got Felipe Pires to make great effort and bar the ball away from getting in. A collision led to Dark Dragons getting a freekick after 95 minutes play. Laerte Almeida hit a great ball.
