Spectators: 7216 (Terracing: 5413, Seating: 1660, VIP seats: 143) The mood of the audience was pleasant when Acácio Macedo made the kick off which started today's match. After 6 played minutes, Caramuru's Jânio de Barros shot from a long distance, and at first it looked like the ball was going into the goal, but the goalkeeper Tiaguinho Matos came through and got his fingers on the ball before it flew over the goal line. He then quickly gripped the ball tighter before the forwards in Caramuru reached it. Renato Furtado fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 11th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Zé Roberto Siqueira having to interfere. If Acácio Macedo had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 14th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. An unexpectedly hard shot by Acácio Macedo in the 17th minute of play forced Covanca's goalkeeper Tiaguinho Matos to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball.

The referee showed Conrado Ramos the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. After 28 played minutes Caramuru got a freekick which was hit by Conrado Ramos.

The score stood at 0-0 when the half time whistle went. Both sets of players seemed reasonably pleased with how the match was going.

The players of the away team seemed most concentrated when Renato Furtado stepped up to make the kick off in the second half. After some fancy dribbling in the 57th minute, Acácio Macedo managed to get in a good position for a shot. Caramuru's supporters rose to their feet, but Acácio Macedo was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Tiaguinho Matos breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. The audience was convinced that Conrado Ramos's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Tiaguinho Matos was relentless in the 63rd minute of the game. When Dito da Cunha fell near the penalty area in the 65th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Covanca's protests and gave Dito da Cunha a yellow card for diving instead. In the 65th minute, Dito da Cunha hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Tiaguinho Matos took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Olívio Loyola, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. With a little luck, Caramuru's Zé Roberto Siqueira got control of the ball when Renato Furtado tried to sneak it across the goal line. After a rather tough play, Caramuru's Maicon Baiano got a free kick in the 70th minute. Renato Furtado's shot straight on target was not completely harmless. The ball had pretty good speed, but Zé Roberto Siqueira firmly grabbed it by the left post. Olívio Loyola struck a weak shot in the 74th minute. Tiaguinho Matos didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Caramuru.
