Rodolfo started off with a 4-4-2 lineup. The following players took the field: Barcelos - Touro, Coelho, Carneiro, Takayama - França Melo, Abrantes, Iguape, Torto - Foes, Amaral.

Loucos tactics involved an interesting 3-5-2 combination. Starters: Amor - dos Reis, Texeira, Almansa - Brito Silva, Guerra, Matinhos, Aleixo, Amazonas - Teixerinha, Baqui.

Loucos tried to focus their attacks down the middle. J. Barcelos looked great 21 minutes into the match after stopping a shot from the middle of the penalty area from the visitors' P. Amazonas. P. Amazonas of Loucos was booked for kicking the ball away after the whistle. The visiting N. Matinhos was booed thoroughly by the home crowd 37 minutes into the game, after he broke through the middle and scored, resulting in the visitors taking the lead. 0 - 1 was the score. With 42 minutes played, a quick exchange of passes on the left wing freed B. Teixerinha of Loucos to slip through the defence and score another goal for the visitors. That made the score 0 - 2. The referee showed Rodolfo's E. Takayama the yellow card after a particularly nasty challenge. B. Arcoverde was called on to replace Loucos's R. dos Reis after 44 minutes following a nasty collision. Almost all the way down to the corner flag, Loucos's P. Amazonas somehow managed to get a perfect pass into the middle, impossible to miss for B. Teixerinha, who struck for 0 - 3. 0 - 3 was the halftime score. Loucos claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 69 percent.

Loucos had a good opportunity to attack on the wing, but remembered their instructions to go for middle attacks. With 66 minutes played, B. Teixerinha nearly put the visitors another one up as he broke through in the middle and fired from just outside the box, but his shot passed just over the bar. After 69 minutes a combination in the middle resulted in a through ball for L. Guerra who increased Loucos's lead to 0 - 4. The players of Loucos now seemed to think the job was done and acted more defensively, just waiting for the ref to blow the final whistle. It was obvious that team Loucos had instructions to attack in the middle instead of on the wings. The home crowd cheered when, after 72 minutes, J. Baqui's charge up the middle resulted in the keeper making one of his best saves of the day. The visitors' P. Amazonas took advantage of a misunderstanding between the home side's goalie and centre backs 86 minutes into the match. 0 - 5 for Loucos. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by Loucos, with 72 percent of the ball.

Most important Rodolfo player was L. Coelho. However, J. Barcelos made a disastrous appearance. Loucos's best player was F. Amor. Ó. Texeira on the other hand, had a terrible day. The match ends 0 - 5.
