Spectators: 152 (Terracing: 114, Seating: 35, VIP seats: 3) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Manfredo Matos started the match with the kick off. 3 minutes into the match, Ronaldo Pinheiro notched a goal, 0-1, to the right of Bisca F.C's Celsinho Santos. Celsinho Santos was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. When Damião Valentim fell near the penalty area in the 7th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored São Francisco FC86's protests and gave Damião Valentim a yellow card for diving instead. After a rather tough play, São Francisco FC86's Damião Valentim got a free kick in the 7th minute. 9 minutes into the game, Furo Rede was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. São Francisco FC86's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave Bisca F.C the free kick. In the 11th minute Ronaldo Pinheiro shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Celsinho Santos saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. An unexpectedly hard shot by Furo Rede in the 19th minute of play forced Bisca F.C's goalkeeper Celsinho Santos to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Celsinho Santos didn't have a chance when a screaming shot from Ronaldo Pinheiro went, in the 21st minute, to the upper right corner, 0-2 was the resulting score. Ronaldo Pinheiro scored 0-3 in the 24th match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Celsinho Santos, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot.

In the 29th match minute, Bisca F.C was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Allan Meirelles to maneuver through the defense. Manfredo Matos sent away a hard shot on goal in the 31st minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. After some careless play in the Bisca F.C defense, Furo Rede kicked a shot that curved into the net to the right of Celsinho Santos. The Bisca F.C fans voiced their displeasure as they felt that Celsinho Santos should have stopped the shot. When the match clock showed 37 minutes, the score became 0-5 when Ronaldo Pinheiro sped through Bisca F.C's defense and sent away a curving shot that went into the net to the right of Celsinho Santos. In the 40th minute, Ronaldo Pinheiro ran past the defenders and hit a shot which went straight ahead into goal. Celsinho Santos was frozen by the shot and now it was 0-6.

The players of the home team were most fresh-looking when they entered the field to play the second half. Ronaldo Pinheiro was the one to do the kick off. 51 minutes into the match, Alexandre Fraga had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Celsinho Santos. Bisca F.C's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Alexandre Fraga was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 0-8. Celsinho Santos showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Ronaldo Pinheiro, who was totally free with the ball in the 55th minute.

After some fancy dribbling in the 71st minute, Alexandre Fraga managed to get in a good position for a shot.

Mauro Castilho tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere.

With an extended leg and a bit of luck Mauro Castilho prevented the ball from getting in the gole.

With a left leg Celsinho Santos saved Bisca F.C from getting behind. The audience thought a goal was coming when Xavier Gusmão got free with Celsinho Santos in the 92nd minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort. São Francisco FC86's attacker deliberately struck the ball against an opponent to win a corner for his team. The corner was taken by Ronaldo Pinheiro in the 94th minute.
