Mümin Lavani and
Lubomir Osipov. Penha-RJ had chosen a strategic 4-4-2 formation. Lineup: Gustavsson - Barbosa, Sitko, Costa, Couto - Canciller, Conde Miranda, Rosa, Soares - Diaz, Santos.

A mistake by the home side's central defence after 7 minutes allowed
Joe Stern to score the 0 - 1 goal for Grilled. Penha-RJ were close to equalising with a spectacular free kick by
Marcelo Couto after 11 minutes, but
Frank Öhmo made a great save, tipping it to a corner.
Miguel Ângelo Rosa made a superb strike after 27 minutes with a shot straight in front of the goal after a long ball through the middle, but one of the visitors' defenders got a foot in at the last second and warded it off for a corner. After a fatal mistake from the away team's right side defence 32 minutes into the match, an alert
Samuel Santos bagged the ball for Penha-RJ, levelling the score to 1 - 1. 1 - 1 was the halftime score. Grilled held the ball, with a clear 51 percent of possession.
After 48 minutes, Grilled's
Asher Stanton made his way through the middle and nonchalantly placed the ball out of the keeper's reach, putting the visitors up 1 - 2. Grilled's
Nui Pakpao got himself booked for a foul. Penha-RJ were forced to a substitution as
Samuel Santos couldn't continue playing due to the rough treatment, forcing
Roffe Ranman to come in from the sidelines.
Asher Stanton caused mayhem in his own defensive line with some mad dribbles within his own penalty zone, but Penha-RJ's
António Soares's shot went just wide. With a shot floated in from just outside the penalty area after 71 minutes played,
Antonio Conde Miranda of Penha-RJ evened the score to 2 - 2.
Marcelo Couto was very close to giving Penha-RJ the lead with an ingenious free kick routine 72 minutes into the match, but the ball just grazed the bar. Penha-RJ held the ball, with a clear 51 percent of possession.
After the regular 90 minutes, the agony of overtime followed. 93 minutes into the match and the home team took a 3 - 2 lead after breaking through on the left. Scorer for Penha-RJ was
Antonio Conde Miranda. Extra time over, Penha-RJ were the victors!
Penha-RJ's best player was
Antonio Conde Miranda.
Roffe Ranman was a disappointment, however. Most important Grilled player was
Aznan Noor Yadah.
