Spectators: 50 (Terracing: 38, Seating: 11, VIP seats: 1) After some fancy dribbling in the 8th minute, Daniel Pimentel managed to get in a good position for a shot. Portugal's supporters rose to their feet, but Daniel Pimentel was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Leal Simões breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick.

After some careless play in the Portugal defense, Acun Mertkal kicked a shot that curved into the net to the right of Wilson Amorim. The Portugal fans voiced their displeasure as they felt that Wilson Amorim should have stopped the shot. Wilson Amorim took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Cássio Calçada, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Wilson Amorim was in the perfect position, and the defense had done a good job marking him, but Otto Sosa showcased his skills and made a perfect shot to score 3-1 in the 25 minute of play. Leal Simões made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Viriato Moura in the 28th minute of play. After 30 minutes KINGS FC's defender was forced to head the ball over the line for a corner.

Unfortunately, he didn't get a great hit on the ball and it went out into the grandstand. The crowd rose to their feet as Jānis Blūms kicked a wonderful shot that went in to the left of a diving Wilson Amorim. That made the score 4-1 in the 35 minute of play. In the 39th minute Felipe Barreto shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Leal Simões saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. The referee felt a red card was in order, 41 minutes into the game, when Graciano Coutinho put in a rough tackle. Faustino Almeida received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 47th minute. Leal Simões tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. All the noise was coming from the home fans when the whistle went for half-time. The home team had fought hardest to put themselves in a deserved lead.
