Although the guests went through Diaz in the lead after 22 minutes, they were very difficult in the following period. Only three minutes later Rochez equalized for the home team. With this result, we went into the mid-term break at the same time. After the change of sides, the hosts gained ground and came to the lead through Riascos. The pairing was thus rotated. The last word, however, was reserved for the guests, who were compensated by Evanilson. Since it was 2-2 after the regular season, it went into overtime. Thanks to the goals of Oliveira and Taremi, Porto prevailed 4-2 and entered the quarter-finals.
