Spectators: 7482 (Terracing: 5613, Seating: 1720, VIP seats: 149) The mood of the audience was pleasant when Rafael Pereira made the kick off which started today's match. Phạm Nguyet received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 3rd minute. Abel Meira tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. 7 minutes into the match, FC Beatriz 08's goal looked a bit too open when Phạm Nguyet came free, but Abel Meira reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. A hard shot 13 in the game by Rafael Pereira from a close distance when the talented Hoàng Tran managed to make a qualified save. FC Dalin's players were relieved. Vasco Cavaco hit a great freekick 15 minutes into the match. Hoàng Tran made an important save on a dangerous shot by Rafael Pereira in the 18th minute. Oso Cienfuegos made in the 20th minute of the game a throw-in that took a bad bounce and was taken care of by FC Dalin's Võ Hoai. In the 25th minute Nguyễn Phuong shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Abel Meira saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. FC Dalin's Liễu Minh-ha managed, thanks to a brazen rush, stole the ball on a throw-in made by Emilis Rožėnas in the 31 minute of the game. When Thorvald Mansel came up free with the goalie in the 32nd minute, the FC Dalin fans jumped to their feet. But the shot missed the goal by a fraction of an inch, and the fans sat back down disappointed that Thorvald Mansel couldn't finish the play. In the 36th match minute, FC Beatriz 08 was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Vasco Cavaco to maneuver through the defense. With a couple of smart ball manuevers Thorvald Mansel in the 40th managed to get into a good position. With a left leg Abel Meira saved FC Beatriz 08 from getting behind. After having played for 41 minutes, Thorvald Mansel managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. FC Dalin's supporters crossed their fingers, but Thorvald Mansel was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. If Thorvald Mansel had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 42nd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. No-one was surprised that the home team were leading 1-0 at half-time.

After some careless play in the FC Beatriz 08 defense, Phạm Nguyet kicked a shot that curved into the net to the right of Abel Meira. The FC Beatriz 08 fans voiced their displeasure as they felt that Abel Meira should have stopped the shot. FC Dalin's Thorvald Mansel managed, thanks to a brazen rush, stole the ball on a throw-in made by Oso Cienfuegos in the 54 minute of the game. Márcio Cordeiro blasted a shot towards the goal in the 61st minute, but the shot hit the top of the crossbar and went out without Hoàng Tran having to make a save. After a rather tough play, FC Beatriz 08's Oso Cienfuegos got a free kick in the 63rd minute. If Phạm Nguyet had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 64th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead.

Phạm Nguyet sent away a hard shot on goal in the 67th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. When the match had gone on for 71 minutes, Phạm Nguyet took a quick shot and it went in 1-2 without a chance for Abel Meira to make any attempt to save it. Phạm Nguyet scored 1-3 in the 75th match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Abel Meira, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. Oso Cienfuegos's late challenge caught a FC Dalin's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Oso Cienfuegos helped the player get up and apologised. The supporters of FC Dalin booed when FC Beatriz 08 was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 78 match minutes in a wonderful position. Oso Cienfuegos didn't get a good kick on the ball. Emilis Rožėnas made in the 80th minute of the game a sloppy throw-in which António Lessa however managed to control. An unexpectedly hard shot by Phạm Nguyet in the 84th minute of play forced FC Beatriz 08's goalkeeper Abel Meira to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball.

Abel Meira made a fantastic save in the 88th minute, when Nguyễn Phuong sent off a good shot on target. Trần Ritchell was really disappointed when he shot the ball just outside the right post instead of scoring a goal in the 89th minute. FC Dalin's manager could be seen on the sidelines shaking his head and muttering to himself as his team had just wasted another chance. 90 minutes into the match, FC Beatriz 08's goalkeeper Abel Meira had to clear away a ball on his right side after a cunning shot by Phạm Nguyet. When the final whistle sounded FC Dalin left the ground with the victory after a much better performance than FC Beatriz 08.
