Higino Frois had several of the SC Boza's defenders around him in the penalty area when he, after 44 minutes of play, received a pass and succeeded in some way to shoot a shot which went straight ahead into goal. This resulted in a 1-0 score and a disappointed Sérgio Trindade as he didn't even see the shot coming. Af the end of the first half the score was 1-0. The first half had gone as expected for the home team.

The players of the home team were most fresh-looking when they entered the field to play the second half. Higino Frois was the one to do the kick off. An unexpectedly hard shot by Higino Frois in the 54th minute of play forced SC Boza's goalkeeper Sérgio Trindade to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. When Armando Aleixo fell near the penalty area in the 58th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored SC Boza's protests and gave Armando Aleixo a yellow card for diving instead. After a rather tough play, SC Boza's Armando Aleixo got a free kick in the 58th minute. 59 minutes into the match, Espedrada FC's Higino Frois sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that Sérgio Trindade narrowly saved just below the crossbar. 64 minutes into the game, Manuel Pires recieved a splendid long ball, split the defenders, and gently placed the ball to the left of Alexandre Campos.
