The initial goal of the match came from XV de Piracicaba SP at 13 minutes and 12 seconds into the first half, but the victory was denied by a tenacious comeback from Sao Caetano, who scored their first goal at 51 minutes and 7 seconds into the second half.

Tension could clearly be seen on both ends as it became a physical match with the home team amassing a considerable five yellow cards and the away team accumulating three, while Piracicaba went down to 10 men after a red card.

However, Sao Caetano with their resilience refused to bow out. Their second and equalising goal was slapped into the net just three minutes after Piracicaba took a 2-1 lead at 75 minutes and 12 seconds into the second half. This highlights Sao Caetano’s strong character, and belief, to salvage a point despite being bossed in major segments of the game.
