Even with one man less, Timão improved in the match and equalized still in the first half through Matheus Rocha.

In the second half, the club from Parque São Jorge started by imposing itself against the team from Mooca and took the lead through midfielder Lucca Caramico. Later, Timão became inconsistent again and saw Samuel Zanon score in the 20th minute and Kaio Gomes, from the penalty spot, in the 25th minute, to turn the match around for the home side. Shortly after, forward Miguel Moscardo, coming off the bench, received back-to-back cards and was sent off. As a result, Ibrachina, now with a two-man advantage, scored again through Samuel Zanon. In stoppage time, Rhyan Ladeira, also coming off the bench, pulled one back for Alvinegro.
