The red-and-black team entered the field with Dudu; Heitor, Thuram, Levi and Gabriel Amâncio; Chapecó, João Ricardo and Jhefinho; Ryan Roberto, Davi and Victor Hugo.

After the break , Mengão reacted quickly . In the 14th minute, Ryan Roberto tied the game and, shortly after, Jhefinho turned the game around for the visitors in the 27th. Internacional, however, did not give up and, in the final minutes, Raykkonen took advantage of a rebound from a corner to decree the definitive tie.
