Ender Football Club's Dráusio Barbosa proved his good apprehension of play when he, in the 3rd minute of the match, managed to save Ender Football Club from getting a goal against them. With a little luck, Ender Football Club's Dráusio Barbosa got control of the ball when Charles Furtado tried to sneak it across the goal line.

After 13 minutes of play, Gressa F.C.'s Cauan Paranaense made it 1-0 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Dráusio Barbosa was left in no man's land by his defense there! After having played for 16 minutes, Charles Furtado managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Gressa F.C.'s supporters crossed their fingers, but Charles Furtado was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. 18 minutes into the game, Laerte Cearense cracked a shot to the right of the goalkeeper, 2-0. Dráusio Barbosa was not in position, and could only watch the ball fly in.

Guto Machado blasted a shot towards the goal in the 29th minute, but the shot hit the top of the crossbar and went out without Vicente Brodel having to make a save. 34 minutes into the match, Váldson Toscano notched a goal, 3-0, to the right of Ender Football Club's Dráusio Barbosa. Dráusio Barbosa was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. The audience was convinced that Pedro Augusto Reis's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Vicente Brodel was relentless in the 39th minute of the game. In the 47th minute, Flavinho Gerber 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. When the referee blew for the end of the half the home team players were clearly happier, as they went in to the break leading 3-0.

In the 56th minute, Ender Football Club's Pedro Augusto Reis ran free of his marker and smoothly shot the ball into the goal behind Vicente Brodel. Vicente Brodel yelled at his defense, as they had left him out to dry. 3-1. Charles Furtado received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 64th minute. Dráusio Barbosa tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Pedro Augusto Reis had several of the Gressa F.C.'s defenders around him in the penalty area when he, after 67 minutes of play, received a pass and succeeded in some way to shoot a shot which went straight ahead into goal. This resulted in a 3-2 score and a disappointed Vicente Brodel as he didn't even see the shot coming. Cauan Paranaense fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 70th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Dráusio Barbosa having to interfere.

After a defensive mix-up in Gressa F.C.'s zone, Guto Machado stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Vicente Brodel came out of the goal and Guto Machado tried to chip the ball over his head.
