Spectators: 7178 (Terracing: 5385, Seating: 1651, VIP seats: 142) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Armindo Vieira kicked off to start the match. Tiago Serpa took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Armindo Vieira, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Xavier Póvoas received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 7th minute. Jorge Gomes tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Porcelhe's defense didn't have a chance, in the 10th minute, when Altino Vilaça scored to the left of an out of position Jorge Gomes, making the score, 1-0. In the 16th minute, João Linhares hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Tiago Serpa didn't have a chance when a screaming shot from André Porto went, in the 19th minute, to the upper right corner, 1-1 was the resulting score. Gervásio Liberato charged in rather forcefully in the 23rd minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Gervásio Liberato the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. After 23 played minutes Hybrid Theory got a freekick which was hit by Gervásio Liberato. After recieving a nice pass, Porcelhe's Rodrigo Azevedo tried to score from far away in the 24th minute, but the ball went over the crossbar. 31 minutes into the match, Porcelhe's goalkeeper Jorge Gomes had to clear away a ball on his right side after a cunning shot by Xavier Póvoas. Xavier Póvoas received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 40th minute. Jorge Gomes tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. In the 44th minute, Armindo Vieira left the goalkeeper for dead before tapping the ball into the right side of the net. The Porcelhe fans were clearly happy with the effort and the scoreboard reflected the new score: 2-2.

The wind increased when Altino Vilaça made the kick off in the second half. When Armindo Vieira in the 56th play minute got the chance to kick a hard shot on goal from short distance neither the defense or Tiago Serpa kept up with the ball and suddenly the score was 2-3 when the ball slipped into goal inside the left pole. Rodrigo Almeida kicked well hit freekick during the 60th minute of the match. After some careless play in the Hybrid Theory defense, André Porto kicked a shot that curved into the net to the right of Tiago Serpa. The Hybrid Theory fans voiced their displeasure as they felt that Tiago Serpa should have stopped the shot. Tiago Serpa made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Armindo Vieira in the 70th minute of play. After having played for 73 minutes, Sebastião Andrade managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Porcelhe's supporters crossed their fingers, but Sebastião Andrade was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. When André Porto came up free with the goalie in the 75th minute, the Porcelhe 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 André Porto couldn't finish the play. The audience thought a goal was coming when André Porto got free with Tiago Serpa in the 79th minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort. If Armindo Vieira had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 83rd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Marco Teles sent away a hard shot on goal in the 92nd minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. 94 minutes into the match, Porcelhe's goal looked a bit too open when Xavier Póvoas came free, but Jorge Gomes reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. The Porcelhe players were relieved to hear the final whistle blow to end the match. The away crowd was happy to see their team win after a very tight game.
