DOADI were very close to putting themselves one up after 5 minutes as P. Mulder got through on the left, but failing in concentration, he shot the ball wide. DOADI's M.

After 47 minutes, the home side was awarded a penalty. The visitors protested wildly but the referee was adamant. V. Laureano easily put the ball away to give the lead to DOADI. 1 - 0 M. Dussi could have made it all square after 52 minutes, if only his free kick had been a few inches to the other side of the post. In a rapid move 54 minutes into the match, S. Dutra of Vagabundus lost his man and passed the ball to the unmarked A. Teles Costa who easily hit it home to make it 1 - 1. Luckily the ref didn't see him taunting the opposing fans in celebration - naughty boy! This part of the game was a standoff between the teams in terms of possession.

The most dominating DOADI player was without a doubt B. Guarabira. On the other hand, A. Juruá's play was disheartening. The most dominating Vagabundus player was without a doubt S. Dutra. However, D. Salvador made a disastrous appearance. The match ends 1 - 1.
