The match – Even away from home, the Sereias da Vila started the match setting the tempo in midfield. In less than ten minutes, Peixe threatened twice through Vivian.
The dominance continued and, in the 20th minute, Evelin Bonifácio received the ball on the left and crossed to Ketlen’s head.

Desperate and needing all three points to avoid relegation, Vitória pushed forward after conceding and began to put pressure on Peixe. Then, in the final play of the first half, Monteiro crossed from the left, the ball went past everyone and ended up in the back of the net, leveling the match in Salvador.
After conceding the equalizer, the Sereias came back stronger after the break and, just 10 minutes in, Laryh received a long pass from Larissa Vasconcelos, controlled it while shaking off her marker, and fired it into the net to make it 2-1.
