Váczi's peach of a shot from the right hand side of the box - placed beautifully in the top corner. 1 - 0. A speedy charge from the left side of the field increased the lead of Sport to 2 - 0 as R. Guecho finished it off competently, firing in from an acute angle. At this point, it was obvious that the players of Sport lowered the tempo and became more defensively oriented. Sport's F. Coelho was shown a yellow card for standing over the ball and blocking an opponent's quick free kick after 37 minutes. When N. Matias left the game because of a back injury after 39 minutes, Palmense had to continue a man short due to there being no available replacements. 40 minutes into the match, the visitors' central line of defence had to look on as Z. Váczi broke through, making the score 3 - 0 for Sport. The teams went for the halftime break at 3 - 0. Sport enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 80 percent of possession.

Conceição Silva was dominating his wing and kept sending fine balls into the opposition's box - A. Ford managed to volley one of them into the net to make it 4 - 0 after 47 minutes. Sport's A. Ford saw his fine effort strike the top of the bar following some good work up the middle by his teammates after 52 minutes. After 63 minutes, the away team failed to deal with a good exchange of passes on the right, and C. Batini gave the Sport supporters even more to cheer about when he increased the lead to 5 - 0. After 77 minutes, there was a bit of a mixup on the field as Sport found themselves out of position and their organisation level dropped to inadequate. Things were going to get worse for the visitors. E. Golob squirmed through their central defence after 80 minutes, increasing the lead to 6 - 0. Sport increased the lead as F. Coelho struck to make the score 7 - 0 after an attack from the left left him unmarked in front of the keeper. Things were deteriorating for the away team as Sport scored another to make it 8 - 0 after a left side attack resulted in a goal for A. Ford after 83 minutes. Sport solidified their lead at the 85 minute mark, as R. Conceição Silva dribbled the ball through the opposing central defence and scored to make it 9 - 0. Possession in this half belonged to Sport, who controlled the ball 84 percent of the time.

Sport's top performer was clearly Z. Váczi. On the other hand, E. Golob's play was disheartening. The most dominating Palmense player was without a doubt A. Durand. However, H. Casilhas made a disastrous appearance. The match ends 9 - 0.
