Playing at home, Massa Bruta started the match better, but Tricolor do Morumbi took control of the actions as time went on and managed to open the scoring before the break, in the 39th minute with Paraguayan midfielder Bobadilla.
At the beginning of the second stage, Argentine coach Hernán Crespo’s team increased their advantage with striker Lucas Moura. At 27, Bragantino attempted a reaction with a goal from Gustavo Marques. But the score was never changed until the final whistle.
