The first half began quite balanced, with a lot of midfield battles and few clear chances. Ceará tried to speed things up with Vina on set pieces and with Galeano, who attempted a shot from the left.
Just when the pace seemed to drop, Fortaleza showed efficiency: in the 36th minute, after a short corner kick, Breno Lopes delivered a perfect cross for Bareiro, who headed firmly into the back of the net to open the scoring at the Castelão stadium.
Fortaleza returned for the second half trying to control the game and almost extended their lead with a shot from Bareiro, but Bruno Ferreira performed a miracle in the 20th minute, saving a close-range shot with his leg.
Needing to find an equalizer, Ceará responded and pushed their rival back. The pressure turned into a goal in the 45th minute, when Pedro Raul rose beautifully after a cross from Marcos Victor and tied the Clássico-Rei at Arena Castelão.
