Spectators: 32 (Terracing: 25,
Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) The sun was shining, the grass was green and the audience cheered when Miguel Maia got the match started through his kick off. When Joaquim Fonseca came up free with the goalie in the 4th minute, the Trandeiras 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 Joaquim Fonseca couldn't finish the play. After a rather tough play, Blue Dragon FC's Laurentino Marques got a free kick in the 8th minute. 17 minutes into the game, Bento Torcato recieved a splendid long ball, split the defenders, and gently placed the ball to the left of Gonçalo Barbosa. Bento Torcato showed that you don't have to tear a hole in the net to score, 1-0. If Miguel Maia had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 22nd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. In the 32nd minute, Tarcísio Magalhães hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Saúl Flores charged in rather forcefully in the 37th minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Saúl Flores the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. Pedro Calçada came out of the goal in the 39th minute to try and stop a shot by Trandeiras's Miguel Maia. But to his dismay, Miguel Maia quickly shot the ball in between his legs and into the goal making it 1-2. The Blue Dragon FC players were disheartened as they walked off the pitch after the first half. Trandeiras were winning 1-2.
When the second half was about to start, both teams quickly lined up and Bento Torcato made a kick off. 54 minutes into the match, Blue Dragon FC's goal looked a bit too open when Miguel Maia came free, but Pedro Calçada reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Miguel Maia sent away a hard shot on goal in the 59th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Bento Torcato scored 2-2 in the 69th match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Gonçalo Barbosa, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. Gonçalo Barbosa showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Bento Torcato, who was totally free with the ball in the 73rd minute. Blue Dragon FC's attacker deliberately struck the ball against an opponent to win a corner for his team. The corner was taken by Octávio Raminhos in the 78th minute. An unexpectedly hard shot by Bento Torcato in the 80th minute of play forced Trandeiras's goalkeeper Gonçalo Barbosa to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. In the 82nd minute, Octávio Raminhos hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Trandeiras's Joaquim Henriques couldn't find anyone to pass the ball to, so he shot a long shot towards the goal in the 83rd minute. The shot went wide which resulted in a goal kick for Blue Dragon FC. A hard shot 86 in the game by Joaquim Fonseca from a close distance when the talented Pedro Calçada managed to make a qualified save. Blue Dragon FC's players were relieved. Blue Dragon FC's Pedro Calçada played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Miguel Maia in the 90th minute of play. Both teams had looked equal from kick-off, and no-one was surprised when the match finally ended in a draw.
