Cristian Federigo didn't have a chance when a screaming shot from Burak Rede went, in the 3rd minute, to the upper right corner, 0-1 was the resulting score. An unexpectedly hard shot by Burak Rede in the 7th minute of play forced MANCHITA ES LA TUYA 9-12's goalkeeper Cristian Federigo to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. When Modesto Eli fell near the penalty area in the 17th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored MANCHITA ES LA TUYA 9-12's protests and gave Modesto Eli a yellow card for diving instead. 25 minutes into the match, Miradeses FC's Manuel Anjos sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that Cristian Federigo narrowly saved just below the crossbar. The supporters of MANCHITA ES LA TUYA 9-12 booed when Miradeses FC was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 27 match minutes in a wonderful position. Pascoal Amaral didn't get a good kick on the ball. In the 31st minute, one of Miradeses FC:s players had the ball in front of the goal but got pushed and fell. The referee felt it was an obvious case and blew a penalty for Miradeses FC. When the match had been going on for 33 minutes, MANCHITA ES LA TUYA 9-12's Ubaldo Orlin got an opportunity to shoot a penalty. He stayed cool and waited for the goalkeeper to move, before he confidently shot the ball into the goal, to the left of Nicolau Ribas. Burak Rede blasted a shot towards the goal in the 35th minute, but the shot hit the top of the crossbar and went out without Cristian Federigo having to make a save. Cristian Federigo stood for a superb save when he managed to get hold of Burak Rede's shot from short distance in the 39th minute. After fighting hard for a draw in the first half, the players were able to take a much needed rest.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Burak Rede to make the kick off. Ubaldo Orlin might have been able to make a better finish in the 51st minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Nicolau Ribas. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Ubaldo Orlin ran back to his position shaking his head. After 52 minutes, Jordão Rebocho mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Miradeses FC and the MANCHITA ES LA TUYA 9-12 players grew even worse after the yellow card. Miradeses FC's Nicolau Ribas played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Modesto Eli in the 53rd minute of play. In the 65th minute Modesto Eli shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Nicolau Ribas saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Modesto Eli fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 73rd minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Nicolau Ribas having to interfere. The audience was convinced that Burak Rede's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Cristian Federigo was relentless in the 78th minute of the game. Miradeses FC's Burak Rede was standing unmarked in front of the goal when he, in the 79th play minute, got the ball and easily drilled it into the goal. If Pascoal Amaral had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 82nd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. In the 88th minute, Pascoal Amaral ran past the defenders and hit a shot which went straight ahead into goal. Cristian Federigo was frozen by the shot and now it was 1-4. Modesto Eli fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 93rd minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Nicolau Ribas having to interfere. In the 95th minute, Modesto Eli made a precise shot to the right of Nicolau Ribas. Miradeses FC's defense was at fault, and the scoreboard reflected the new score, 2-4. When the final whistle sounded Miradeses FC left the ground with the victory after a much better performance than MANCHITA ES LA TUYA 9-12.
