Spectators: 7483 (Terracing: 5614, Seating: 1720, VIP seats: 149) With a little luck, TIMETER EC -DMZ-'s Betinho Paiva got control of the ball when Isidro Urtungo tried to sneak it across the goal line. In the 7th minute of the match Fausto Benet sent off a long shot with destination to the right of the goalkeeper, but Betinho Paiva skillfully saved the ball. In the 11th minute, TIMETER EC -DMZ-'s Jânio Soares seemed to kick out at an opponent. The referee saw this and, surprisingly, showed Jânio Soares the red card, dismissing him from the pitch. The coaching staff of TIMETER EC -DMZ- protested bitterly, but the referee would have none of it, and Jânio Soares had no choice but to slowly walk off the pitch. After 10 minutes of play, the referee blew the whistle. It was a penalty for TIMETER EC -DMZ-! Betinho Paiva went to the wrong direction when Honorato Bilintx was taking care of the penalty kick which however missed the goal. The audience was convinced that Pedrão Pirani's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Emiliano Bustillo was relentless in the 18th minute of the game. 20 minutes into the match, Torbellino's goal looked a bit too open when Raphael Aguiar came free, but Emiliano Bustillo reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. After a rather tough play, Torbellino's Andres Mikolas got a free kick in the 23rd minute. Emiliano Bustillo showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Claudinho Secco, who was totally free with the ball in the 27th minute. Betinho Paiva took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Isidro Urtungo, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Pedrão Pirani received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 35th minute. Emiliano Bustillo tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Betinho Paiva made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Andres Mikolas in the 37th minute of play. Betinho Paiva didn't succeed in stopping the ball in the 39th minute, which inside left pole to 1-0. An unexpectedly hard shot by Pedrão Pirani in the 44th minute of play forced Torbellino's goalkeeper Emiliano Bustillo to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Pedrão Pirani to make the kick off. Gonzalo Pereyra sent away a hard shot on goal in the 51st minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. If Claudinho Secco had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 56th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. An unexpectedly hard shot by Jorge Bustillo in the 59th minute of play forced TIMETER EC -DMZ-'s goalkeeper Betinho Paiva to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. 60 minutes into the game, Torbellino's Isidro Urtungo nearly tore a hole in the net with a booming shot. Betinho Paiva made a valiant effort, but he could not reach the ball in time, 2-0. Pedrão Pirani struck a weak shot in the 71st minute. Emiliano Bustillo didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for TIMETER EC -DMZ-. 76 minutes into the match, Gonzalo Pereyra had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Betinho Paiva. TIMETER EC -DMZ-'s manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Gonzalo Pereyra was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 3-0. In the 80th minute Isidro Urtungo shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Betinho Paiva saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Emiliano Bustillo was out of position in the 94 minute of play, and Raphael Aguiar capitalized on the mistake with a soft shot into the goal. Raphael Aguiar really showed his touch with that goal: 3-1. For all the effort they put into the match, the TIMETER EC -DMZ- players left disappointed. They had fought hard, but couldn't break down the home team's defense. The match ended in a win for Torbellino.
