Spectators: 7203 (Terracing: 5404, Seating: 1656, VIP seats: 143) The mood of the audience was pleasant when Diamantino Ribeiro made the kick off which started today's match. Technow FC's Rodolfo Neves shoveled away a really nice long shot in the 3rd minute of play. The shot was stopped by Perivaldo Souto but with some difficulty. Emílio Lira fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 17th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Humberto Ramalho having to interfere. The audience was convinced that Emílio Lira's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Humberto Ramalho was relentless in the 26th minute of the game. Diamantino Ribeiro might have been able to make a better finish in the 29th minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Humberto Ramalho. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Diamantino Ribeiro ran back to his position shaking his head. In the 29thth minute of the game Emílio Lira who was perfectly placed tried to make a shot on goal, but Technow FC's Humberto Ramalho was lucky and managed to grab hold of the ball. An unexpectedly hard shot by Diamantino Ribeiro in the 32nd minute of play forced Technow FC's goalkeeper Humberto Ramalho to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. If Emílio Lira had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 37th minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. In the 41st minute Emílio Lira shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Humberto Ramalho saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. After having played for 43 minutes, Eliseu Palmeira managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Technow FC's supporters crossed their fingers, but Eliseu Palmeira was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. Eliseu Palmeira fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 45th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Perivaldo Souto having to interfere. Eliseu Palmeira sent away a hard shot on goal in the 48th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Disappointed in the 0-1 score, the home team went to the dressing room to adjust tactics for the second half.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Eliseu Palmeira to make the kick off. The audience thought a goal was coming when Emílio Lira got free with Humberto Ramalho in the 55th minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort. Humberto Ramalho showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Diamantino Ribeiro, who was totally free with the ball in the 58th minute. Júlio Lago took a chance and fired a shot far from the goal in the 61st minute, but it turned out to be a dangerous situation for Humberto Ramalho. Technow FC's goalkeeper really had to stretch himself to stop the ball from crossing the goal line. With his leg Humberto Ramalho managed to avoid a goal in the 65thth minute, when Animais da Escolinha's Emílio Lira fired away a shot with a lot of spin towards his right hand side. An unexpectedly hard shot by Charles Corrêa in the 72nd minute of play forced Animais da Escolinha's goalkeeper Perivaldo Souto to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. In the 74th minute Diamantino Ribeiro shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Humberto Ramalho saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Perivaldo Souto took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Charles Corrêa, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Technow FC's Eliseu Palmeira got a good chance for a goal in the 86th minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. If Eliseu Palmeira had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 90th minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. Humberto Ramalho took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Diamantino Ribeiro, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Jeers came from both ends of the stadium when the final whistle went. Neither team had looked impressive and the draw seeemd a fair result.
