Rafael Romarinho scored 24 goals in the first half, and the second player added 94, while Brazilian Wilton Suarez scored the only goal of the game.

The first half saw the referee canceled a goal that Wilton Suarez scored in the 22nd minute for offside. The federation's response was swift, with Romarenho scoring the first goal from a swift federal attack, taking advantage of the lack of defensive cover.
