Spectators: 5000 (Terracing: 4000, Seating: 1000, VIP seats: 0) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Carlos Borges kicked off to start the match. If Carlos Borges had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 3rd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. When Carlos Borges came up free with the goalie in the 6th minute, the D João I 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 Carlos Borges couldn't finish the play. 9 minutes into the match, Ademar Onofre notched a goal, 0-1, to the right of D João I's Abel Coimbra. Abel Coimbra was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. After some fancy dribbling in the 14th minute, Joaquim Cardoso managed to get in a good position for a shot. D João I's supporters rose to their feet, but Joaquim Cardoso was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Gregório Vasques breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. After 15 minutes of play, D João I's Carlos Borges made it 1-1 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Gregório Vasques was left in no man's land by his defense there! After some fancy dribbling in the 23rd minute, Mehmet Uzcan managed to get in a good position for a shot. D João I's supporters rose to their feet, but Mehmet Uzcan was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Gregório Vasques breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. The audience was convinced that Carlos Borges's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Gregório Vasques was relentless in the 26th minute of the game. Plácido Ventura's late challenge caught a D João I's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Plácido Ventura helped the player get up and apologised. After a rather tough play, SC Alcafozes's Plácido Ventura got a free kick in the 27th minute. In the 29thth minute of the game Carlos Borges who was perfectly placed tried to make a shot on goal, but SC Alcafozes's Gregório Vasques was lucky and managed to grab hold of the ball. In the 32nd minute, Jairo Leitão hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Carlos Borges who was well placed in front of the goal fired away a dangerous shot that in the 33rdth minute tested the skills of Gregório Vasques when he managed to save the team from getting behind. Gregório Vasques made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Vasco Costa in the 37th minute of play. Gregório Vasques made a fantastic save in the 39th minute, when Vasco Costa sent off a good shot on target. Hamilton Aires hit a great freekick 43 minutes into the match. The long shot by Joaquim Cardoso in the 44th minute really tested Gregório Vasques's skills. The ball was on its way into the goal to the left of him when he managed to stretch himself and save the shot and avoid a goal. After a very even first half the match was still tied. The players went to their respective dressing rooms to discuss the tactics for the second half.

Carlos Borges sent away a hard shot on goal in the 63rd minute, but the ball hit the crossbar and went out. A very good chance for a goal. 66 minutes into the match, Francisco Leal had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Gregório Vasques. SC Alcafozes's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Francisco Leal was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 3-1. An unexpectedly hard shot by Carlos Borges in the 73rd minute of play forced SC Alcafozes's goalkeeper Gregório Vasques to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. 75 minutes into the match, SC Alcafozes's goal looked a bit too open when Vasco Costa came free, but Gregório Vasques reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. In the 75th minute of the game, Vítor Melo landed unfortunately after trying to head the ball, and pulled a muscle in the back, so badly that he had to leave the field. When Saúl Linhares fell near the penalty area in the 75th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored SC Alcafozes's protests and gave Saúl Linhares a yellow card for diving instead. In the 77th match minute, SC Alcafozes was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Saúl Linhares to maneuver through the defense. Carlos Borges scored 4-1 in the 78th match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Gregório Vasques, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot.
