The game
Seeking victory, the Red-Blacks entered the field pressing Náutico. Just two minutes in, Arthur Maia passed to Alecsandro, who nearly scored. Nine minutes later, Paulinho, on the left wing, controlled the ball and cut inside to shoot down the middle. The goal came only in the 41st minute. Cáceres headed the ball against the post after a corner kick, and Wallace made no mistake on the rebound: 1-0.

In the second half, the teams returned unchanged. Just two minutes in, Arthur Maia set up Alecsandro, who failed to score the team's second goal. Five minutes later, Canteros took a free kick that Julio Cesar missed, but the ball went wide. The Rubro-Negro had the better offensive play, but Náutico equalized in the 30th minute, Douglas latching onto a pass from Marino.

Needing to score to secure the victory, Jayme brought Eduardo on. Despite this, the Red-Blacks failed to score and ended in a draw.
