Today, demasiado's strategy involved concentrating on the flanks for their attacks. 26 minutes into the match and the home team took a 1 - 0 lead after breaking through on the left. The scorer for demasiado was A. Vambera. The home team will be cursing A. Osmala for weeks; he finished off a great pass from the left, knocking it past the keeper without a problem. The match was level at 1 - 1 after 30 minutes. 35 minutes in, demasiado's N. Kook received a yellow card for going into a challenge studs first. S. Maranhão's knee will be throbbing for days, but thankfully for Caxias, he bravely continued in the match. With 40 minutes played, the home side managed to get a 2 - 1 lead as J. Miś flipped the ball in after a cross from the right. demasiado's V. Cunha Alves was shown a yellow card for standing over the ball and blocking an opponent's quick free kick after 41 minutes. demasiado's J. Miś had to watch the rest of the game from the sidelines, after twisting his ankle with 42 minutes having been played. C. Kulmbacher was the replacement. A really bad tackle inside the penalty area 43 minutes into the match gave the referee no other choice but to award the visiting Caxias a penalty. S. Bonci knocked it home. 2 - 2 demasiado had a chance to take the lead after C. Kulmbacher's dazzling drive up the left, but the opportunity fizzled out as his shot went just over the bar after 43 minutes. It was 2 - 2 at the break. Possession in this half belonged to demasiado, who controlled the ball 57 percent of the time.

Given a free kick in a difficult position after 58 minutes, demasiado tried a variation that they had practised in training. The kick was sent into the area just in front of the keeper. However, the defence were on their toes and allowed no space for a finish. demasiado had a good opportunity to attack in the middle, but remembered their instructions to focus on wing attacks instead. At 61 minutes played, G. Vieira came in from the right with the intention of giving demasiado the lead, but his rocket of a shot rattled the crossbar. The demasiado free kick 83 minutes into the match seemed wasted, as the shot was both short and off target. But was this actually a plan? The ball landed at the feet of G. Vieira, who was completely unmarked in the box. That's 3 - 2! With 85 minutes played, demasiado put themselves up 4 - 2 when the visiting defenders lost the ball to V. Cunha Alves, who came up from the left and proceeded to coolly round the keeper and knock the ball home. demasiado managed to extend their lead to 5 - 2 when A. Vambera cut in neatly from the left side and struck a fine shot past the away team's goalkeeper. By now, the players in demasiado felt that victory was guaranteed and began to play it safe, focusing on defence and not risking too much going forward. demasiado claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 65 percent.

The most dominating demasiado player was without a doubt V. Cunha Alves. P. Miziński on the other hand, had a terrible day. Most important Caxias player was J. da Rosa. M. Acuña turned in a dismal performance, however. The match ends 5 - 2.
