In the next move, Caian of the Spanish team received a pass and shot hard, the ball going into the left corner of goalkeeper Francisco, who fell and couldn't prevent La Coruña's goal. 1×0. In the 16th minute, Gilson received a pass inside the area and took a subtle touch and put the ball into goalkeeper Marcelo's left-hand corner to level the score at 1-1.
In the 22nd minute, Guaru received the ball on the pivot and served Nicolas, who fired a low shot into the corner of goalkeeper Marcelo's net to make it 2-1 to Taubaté. In the 25th minute, Lucas, from Burro da Central, took the ball to the by-line and crossed the ball to Nicolas at the far post, who drove the ball into the back of the La Coruña net to make it 3-1.
One minute after a corner, La Coruña's Caian hit a beautiful volley into the box and the ball soared over the crossbar of the Taubaté goal. In the 10th minute, Guaru set up Nicolas, and when the Spanish team's goalkeeper Marcelo got clear, he fired a powerful shot that required a fine save from the La Coruña goalkeeper.
Twenty minutes into the second half, Lucas from Taubaté increased the score for Burro da Central, making it 4-1. In the 26th minute, Caian scored his second goal of the match to reduce the score to 4-2, but it was too late to mount any further reaction.
