Spectators: 7281 (Terracing: 5463, Seating: 1674, VIP seats: 144) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Nilson Lopez kicked off to start the match. In the 2nd match minute, JAHU 43 was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Renan Barral to maneuver through the defense. After 3 played minutes, Hunters Heisz's Sílvio Luís Paes shot from a long distance, and at first it looked like the ball was going into the goal, but the goalkeeper Willian Soteldo came through and got his fingers on the ball before it flew over the goal line. He then quickly gripped the ball tighter before the forwards in Hunters Heisz reached it. If Ernani Cosme had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 5th minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. 10 minutes into the match, Hunters Heisz's goal looked a bit too open when Nilson Lopez came free, but Naldo Britto reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. The audience was convinced that Pedrinho Cardoso's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Willian Soteldo was relentless in the 13th minute of the game. Willian Soteldo showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Geovânio Medeiros, who was totally free with the ball in the 14th minute. Emílio Amorim sent away a hard shot on goal in the 18th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. After 26 minutes, Emílio Amorim mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the JAHU 43 and the Hunters Heisz players grew even worse after the yellow card. In the 26th minute, Emílio Amorim hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. With a couple of smart ball manuevers Ernani Cosme in the 36th managed to get into a good position. With a left leg Willian Soteldo saved JAHU 43 from getting behind. Emílio Amorim sent away a hard shot on goal in the 41st minute, but the ball hit the crossbar and went out. A very good chance for a goal. Naldo Britto made a fantastic save in the 45th minute, when Róbson de Salles sent off a good shot on target. Even after changing tactics the home team jogged off the field with a 0-1 deficit. They would have to work harder if they wanted to turn things around in the second half.

The players of the away team seemed most concentrated when Pedrinho Cardoso stepped up to make the kick off in the second half. JAHU 43's Emílio Amorim managed, thanks to a brazen rush, stole the ball on a throw-in made by Cristiano Almeida in the 55 minute of the game. Róbson de Salles's shot was meant for the net just under the crossbar, but Naldo Britto read the situation well and was quickly in position to make a wonderful save in the 58th minute of play. The supporters of Hunters Heisz booed when JAHU 43 was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 59 match minutes in a wonderful position. Róbson de Salles didn't get a good kick on the ball. Emílio Amorim received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 63rd minute. Naldo Britto tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. If Nilson Lopez had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 68th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Naldo Britto took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Róbson de Salles, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. After 71 minutes of play, JAHU 43's Emílio Amorim made it 1-1 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Naldo Britto was left in no man's land by his defense there! If Emílio Amorim had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 79th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. 80 minutes into the match, JAHU 43's Róbson de Salles sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that Naldo Britto narrowly saved just below the crossbar. After some careless play in the Hunters Heisz defense, Nilson Lopez kicked a shot that curved into the net to the right of Naldo Britto. The Hunters Heisz fans voiced their displeasure as they felt that Naldo Britto should have stopped the shot. If Eurico Novaes had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 87th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. There were very few away supporters still in the ground by the end of the match. Most of them had left early, disgusted by the way their team had been torn apart. JAHU 43 fully deserved thier win.
