Spectators: 6642 (Terracing: 5000, Seating: 1642, VIP seats: 0) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Eusébio Faro kicked off to start the match. In the 4th minute, Eusébio Faro got an opportunity to score, but he didn't get a solid hit on the ball and ended up kicking it wide of the goal. After 9 minutes, Igor Couto mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Benfica and the MuzzaiK players grew even worse after the yellow card.

Daniel Valente took a chance and fired a shot far from the goal in the 10th minute, but it turned out to be a dangerous situation for Pedro Brochado. Benfica's goalkeeper really had to stretch himself to stop the ball from crossing the goal line. Eusébio Faro struck a weak shot in the 13th minute. Pedro Brochado didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for MuzzaiK.

Benfica's Pedro Brochado played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Eusébio Faro in the 25th minute of play. If Rui Oliveira had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 26th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. In the 37th minute, Rui Oliveira got an opportunity to score, but he didn't get a solid hit on the ball and ended up kicking it wide of the goal. Pedro Brochado made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Mário Pedroso in the 46th minute of play. Even after changing tactics the home team jogged off the field with a 0-1 deficit. They would have to work harder if they wanted to turn things around in the second half.

When the second half was about to start, both teams quickly lined up and Igor Couto made a kick off. With a little luck, Benfica's Pedro Brochado got control of the ball when Eusébio Faro tried to sneak it across the goal line.

Eusébio Faro sent away a hard shot on goal in the 82nd minute, but the ball hit the crossbar and went out. A very good chance for a goal. Eusébio Faro could have scored with his fast shot on goal in the 82nd minute of the match, but Pedro Brochado made a huge save. After having played for 95 minutes, Rui Oliveira managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. MuzzaiK's supporters crossed their fingers, but Rui Oliveira was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. MuzzaiK's players went to the stands to thank the travelling support. The fan's backing had helped spurr the team on to a fine performance that won them the match.
