With an extended leg and a bit of luck Jacob Seixas prevented the ball from getting in the gole. The attack was good, but when Santiago Veiga in the 19th minute was about to shoot he didn't kick quite good enough and the ball went high over goal. The audience was convinced that Caio Malheiro's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Jacob Seixas was relentless in the 25th minute of the game.

After some careless play in the A.D.PEDROSO defense, Mateus Figueiras kicked a shot that curved into the net to the right of Jacob Seixas. The A.D.PEDROSO fans voiced their displeasure as they felt that Jacob Seixas should have stopped the shot. Santiago Veiga sent away a hard shot on goal in the 44th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance.

In the 81st minute Santiago Veiga shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Caetano Valadão saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. When Caetano Castro fell near the penalty area in the 82nd minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored A.D.PEDROSO's protests and gave Caetano Castro a yellow card for diving instead. The supporters of SMA FC booed when A.D.PEDROSO was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 82 match minutes in a wonderful position. Caetano Castro didn't get a good kick on the ball. A.D.PEDROSO's Marco Rangel got a good chance for a goal in the 88th minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. The SMA FC supporters could be heard counting down the last seconds of the match. They errupted in celebration when the whistle blew, knowing SMA FC would go home with victory in their luggage after a match that easily could have ended differently.
