If Eliseu Luz had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 3rd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. 6 minutes into the game, Eliseu Luz was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. Guapira's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave Palmas FC Formosa the free kick.

Cauã Tasso hit a great ball. After having played for 39 minutes, Cauã Tasso managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal.

After 47 played minutes Guapira got a freekick which was hit by Hortêncio Tasso. After fighting hard for a draw in the first half, the players were able to take a much needed rest.
