In the 41st minute, Mariana crossed to Cristiane, who tried a backheel, but the ball went wide. The first half ended with the red-and-blacks in the lead, dominating the action.  

Less than a minute into the second half, the Meninas da Gávea almost scored their second. After a ball was lofted into the box, Glaucia attempted a volley, but the ball fell to Cristiane, who fired a cross-shot. The ball flew just wide of the goalkeeper's left post.
