The players went to their respective dressing rooms to discuss the tactics for the second half.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Matheus Galvão to make the kick off. When Afonso Tande fell near the penalty area in the 51st minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Sport Recife's protests and gave Afonso Tande a yellow card for diving instead. A collision led to Sport Recife getting a freekick after 51 minutes play. Afonso Tande hit a great ball. After some fancy dribbling in the 56th minute, Rogério Lima managed to get in a good position for a shot. Sport Recife's supporters rose to their feet, but Rogério Lima was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Gilson Novaes breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. 0-1 became the score in the 65th minute when André Luiz Trancoso elegantly shot the ball into goal just under the crossbar. Dino Garcia showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Alex Barral in the 70th minute of the match. If Alex Barral had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 75th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead.
