When Wilson Simão fell near the penalty area in the 7th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Tupi's protests and gave Wilson Simão a yellow card for diving instead. In the 6th minute, one of Tupi:s players had the ball in front of the goal but got pushed and fell. The referee felt it was an obvious case and blew a penalty for Tupi. After 12th play minutes Ezequiel Paraense shot 0-2, a short shot which went by Michel Fontes and just under the crossbar into goal. The referee was alert and spotted a serious foul by Dagoberto Alves during the 21st minute. The player immediately received a yellow card. Dagoberto Alves hit a great freekick 21 minutes into the match. In the 23rd match minute, Tupi was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Willian Arruda to maneuver through the defense. Vicente Mineiro scored 0-3 in the 26th match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Michel Fontes, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. Cristian Salles might have been able to make a better finish in the 29th minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Michel Fontes. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Cristian Salles ran back to his position shaking his head. In the 32nd minute the ball was on its way in behind FOX's goalkeeper Thomás Cosme, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. The FOX fans' excitement grew in the 36th match minute when FOX's Vicente Mineiro looked to have a clear shot with the ball near the goal. The shot wasn't hard, but the ball still rolled over the goal line to make it 0-4 before the goalkeeper had a chance to intervene. Vicente Mineiro received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 40th minute. Michel Fontes tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. When Durvalino Sena came up free with the goalie in the 44th minute, the Tupi 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 Durvalino Sena couldn't finish the play. Cristian Salles struck a weak shot in the 46th minute. Michel Fontes didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for FOX. The Tupi players were disheartened as they walked off the pitch after the first half. FOX were winning 0-4.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Ezequiel Paraense to make the kick off. FOX's attacker deliberately struck the ball against an opponent to win a corner for his team. The corner was taken by Nelsinho Arce in the 54th minute. FOX's Nelsinho Arce was first on the ball when the corner was shot and he dangerously headed the ball towards goal, but Michel Fontes in the goal jumped up to prevent it from getting in. Vicente Mineiro sent away a hard shot on goal in the 58th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. After a rather tough play, Tupi's Jaime Mangueira got a free kick in the 60th minute. In the 62nd minute, Willian Arruda hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. If Vicente Mineiro had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 66th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Michel Fontes made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Ezequiel Paraense in the 72nd minute of play. After 73 minutes of play, FOX's Vicente Mineiro made it 0-6 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Michel Fontes was left in no man's land by his defense there! In the 78th minute, FOX's Tostão Santos seemed to kick out at an opponent. The referee saw this and, surprisingly, showed Tostão Santos the red card, dismissing him from the pitch. The coaching staff of FOX protested bitterly, but the referee would have none of it, and Tostão Santos had no choice but to slowly walk off the pitch. A collision led to FOX getting a freekick after 79 minutes play. Tostão Santos hit a great ball. With a little luck, Tupi's Michel Fontes got control of the ball when Ezequiel Paraense tried to sneak it across the goal line. If Ezequiel Paraense had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 85th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Cristian Salles received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 86th minute. Michel Fontes tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. When the match had gone on for 88 minutes, Ezequiel Paraense put it in 0-7 from a short distance just to the right of Michel Fontes. After a rather tough play, FOX's Dagoberto Alves got a free kick in the 91st minute. After 94 played minutes Tupi got a freekick which was hit by Willian Arruda.
