Spectators: 5000 (Terracing: 4000, Seating: 1000, VIP seats: 0) The mood of the audience was pleasant when Gláuber Cruz made the kick off which started today's match. In the 6th match minute, Poti AD was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Alfredo Paraíba to maneuver through the defense. Poti AD's Chico Sergipano suffered a concussion in the 10th minute, after a hard challenge, and had to leave the field. Jorge Linhares sent away a hard shot on goal in the 10th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. In the 15th minute, Humberto Esteves hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. The supporters of Mamonas Assassinas booed when Poti AD was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 22 match minutes in a wonderful position. Alfredo Paraíba didn't get a good kick on the ball. In the 23rd minute, a hard, long distance shot from Iuri Barral hit the top of the crossbar and flew over the goal. In the 27th minute, Jorge Linhares 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. Luís Fernando Gaspar made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Sabino Vergílio in the 35th minute of play. If Sabino Vergílio had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 37th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. 39 minutes into the match, Poti AD's goal looked a bit too open when Sabino Vergílio came free, but Luís Fernando Gaspar reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Zé Paulo Queiroz sent away a hard shot on goal in the 43rd minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. After 44 played minutes Mamonas Assassinas got a freekick which was hit by Custódio Alcântara. Zé Paulo Queiroz could have scored with his fast shot on goal in the 45th minute of the match, but Luiz Paulo Fontes made a huge save. After a very even first half the match was still tied. The players went to their respective dressing rooms to discuss the tactics for the second half.

The players of the home team were most fresh-looking when they entered the field to play the second half. Sabino Vergílio was the one to do the kick off. Luiz Paulo Fontes showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Zé Paulo Queiroz in the 52nd minute of the match. In the 52nd minute, Arlindo Cruz hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. 53 minutes into the match, Mamonas Assassinas's goal looked a bit too open when Zé Paulo Queiroz came free, but Luiz Paulo Fontes reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. A hard shot 55 in the game by Jorge Linhares from a close distance when the talented Luís Fernando Gaspar managed to make a qualified save. Poti AD's players were relieved. The crowd rose to their feet as Mamonas Assassinas's Sabino Vergílio slotted home a wonderful shot that went in to the left of Luís Fernando Gaspar. That made the score 0-1 after 57 minutes of play. Zé Paulo Queiroz sent away a hard shot on goal in the 61st minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Zé Paulo Queiroz took the ball and in the 68 minute, shot a rapid shot to the right of a surprised Luiz Paulo Fontes. Luiz Paulo Fontes dived to the right, and did manage to get a hand on the shot, but it still went into the right corner making it 1-1. After 71 minutes, Zé Paulo Queiroz mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Poti AD and the Mamonas Assassinas players grew even worse after the yellow card. 2-1 became the score in the 76th minute when Zé Paulo Queiroz elegantly shot the ball into goal just under the crossbar. Zé Paulo Queiroz received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 78th minute. Luiz Paulo Fontes tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. 80 minutes into the match, Régis Corrêa notched a goal, 3-1, to the right of Mamonas Assassinas's Luiz Paulo Fontes. Luiz Paulo Fontes was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. Sabino Vergílio charged in rather forcefully in the 82nd minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Sabino Vergílio the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. Zé Paulo Queiroz struck a weak shot in the 85th minute. Luiz Paulo Fontes didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Poti AD. In the 87th minute of the match Iuri Barral shot from a long distance. The ball could have gone into the goal to the right of the goalkeeper, but Luís Fernando Gaspar showed his good shape when he easily got hold of the ball. In the 91st match minute, Poti AD was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Cristóvão Correia to maneuver through the defense. 94 minutes into the match, Poti AD's goal looked a bit too open when Sabino Vergílio came free, but Luís Fernando Gaspar reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line.

Mamonas Assassinas's players left the field with heads hung low after losing a match that had been finely balanced throughout.
