Corinthians started the game imposing themselves on their opponent and turned the score around, which had been unfavorable, in the first half, making good use of their performance in the paint. The Alvinegro won the first quarter 23 to 20. In the second quarter, the club from Parque São Jorge maintained their good performance and relied on long-range shots from Elinho and Munford to extend their lead, ending the second quarter ahead 21 to 19.

In the third quarter, Corinthians maintained defensive solidity at the start, with good performances from Elinho, Elyjah Clark, and Lucas Cauê. However, still in the third period, the Parque São Jorge club faltered and allowed their opponents to cut into the lead. Even so, they won the quarter 24 to 23. In the fourth and final period, however, Jece Leite's men dropped in performance and were defeated 24 to 13. Thus, the loss in the final period led to defeat in the match: 86 to 81.
