Spectators: 7373 (Terracing: 5531, Seating: 1695, VIP seats: 147) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Alexsandro Freire kicked off to start the match.

Valdomiro Maranhense's shot was meant for the net just under the crossbar, but Bruno Mineiro read the situation well and was quickly in position to make a wonderful save in the 25th minute of play. The audience was convinced that Valdomiro Maranhense's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Bruno Mineiro was relentless in the 29th minute of the game.
