Spectators: 7243 (Terracing: 5433, Seating: 1666, VIP seats: 144) The sun was shining, the grass was green and the audience cheered when Tiaguinho Meira got the match started through his kick off. If Sidnei Vianna had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 5th minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. Dieguinho da Fonseca showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Juan Costa in the 12th minute of the match. An unexpectedly hard shot by Tiaguinho Meira in the 14th minute of play forced Trocary's goalkeeper Dieguinho da Fonseca to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. A collision led to Trocary getting a freekick after 20 minutes play. Joaquim Ferraz hit a great ball. In the 23rd minute, Benedito Matos hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. In the 26th minute, Tiaguinho Meira 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.

Belchior Cavalcante didn't get a good kick on the ball. 29 minutes into the match, Trocary's Duarte de Mendonça sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that Olívio Dias narrowly saved just below the crossbar.

Dieguinho da Fonseca dived to the right, and did manage to get a hand on the shot, but it still went into the right corner making it 0-2. 42 minutes into the game, Ativa Sport Club's Juan Costa nearly tore a hole in the net with a booming shot. Dieguinho da Fonseca made a valiant effort, but he could not reach the ball in time, 0-3. The audience was convinced that Tiaguinho Meira's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Dieguinho da Fonseca was relentless in the 46th minute of the game. Even after changing tactics the home team jogged off the field with a 0-3 deficit. They would have to work harder if they wanted to turn things around in the second half.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell José Paiva to make the kick off. Olívio Dias made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Manuel Mangueira in the 53rd minute of play.

Felipe Nascimento charged in rather forcefully in the 74th minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Felipe Nascimento the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play.

After a rather tough play, Trocary's Nelsinho Cerezo got a free kick in the 83rd minute.

Juan Costa ran back to his position shaking his head. If Pedrão Leal had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 90th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead.
