O Palmeiras started the game better, with a good opportunity right at the beginning of the match, with Luighi. O Alviverde kept the pace and was more dangerous than Chape, but had a setback in the final stretch of the first half after Allan received a red card for stepping on Giovanni. No segundo tempo, mesmo com um jogador a mais, a Chapecoense encontrava dificuldade para levar perigo à área do Palmeiras. Foi então que Paulinho received from Felipe Anderson on the edge of the area and finished in the corner of Anderson’s goal to put Verdão ahead. A Chapecoense quase empatou nos acréscimos, com Ítalo marcando um gol que foi anulado devido à falta em Murilo na jogada do gol. Além disso, a Chape teve um pênalti assinalado ao seu favor, mas Bolasie acertou o travessão.
