The first notable moment arrived just before the half-hour when Juventude goalkeeper Jandrei entered the book at 25'57''. Nautico then made an early change at 42'55'', with Junior Todinho forced off and Reginaldo Lopes de Jesus introduced before the interval. The score was 0-0 at the break, and that pattern held through a tense second half.
Nautico's Derek was cautioned two minutes after the restart at 47'26'', and Alisson Safira followed into the book for Juventude at 52'08''. Both coaches then turned to their benches in search of a spark. Juventude made a double switch just after the hour through Luis Mandaca and Luan Martins Goncalves, before further alterations brought on Wadson Victor Nunes Damasceno, Allanzinho and Manuel Castro. Nautico responded with Leonardo De Oliveira Jance and later Luiz Claudio.
Late yellow cards for Matheus Ribeiro at 78'33'' and Wenderson da Silva Costa Ferreira at 84'58'' underlined a scrappy finish. In the end, the stats told the same story as the score: a hard-fought stalemate with few decisive moments and no separating the sides.
