Walter Ferretti advanced to the quarterfinals, 5-1 on aggregate score.

Da Silva scored the all-important goal in the 12th minute, when he made a header from six-yards out following a free kick by Jose Bernardo Laureiro. The Bandits Georgie Welcome nearly leveled for the Bandits four minutes later, but his right-footed effort from 22 yards sailed just over the crossbar.
