After this result, whoever wins the round advances. In the event of a tie, the winner will be decided by penalty shootout.
Having the advantage of playing at home, in Caxias do Sul, Juventude opened a 2-0 lead in the early stage, thanks to goals from Pitta, with a header in the 24th minute, and Óscar Ruiz, with a shot from outside the area at 33.
However, in the final stage the game changed shape, with São Paulo discounting just after two minutes, with Arboleda heading, and pulling the tie at 47, in a penalty kick by Reinaldo.
