Alçapão da Maloucura
Spectators: 7218 (Terracing: 5415, Seating: 1660, VIP seats: 143) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Manuel Couto started the match with the kick off. 4 minutes into the match, Zézinho Antunes notched a goal, 0-1, to the right of Malagutti Uai Soccer's Paulo José Berger. Paulo José Berger was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. Paulo José Berger made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Manuel Couto in the 9th minute of play. After a rather tough play, Malagutti Uai Soccer's Cássio Sena got a free kick in the 10th minute. Manuel Couto received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 14th minute. Paulo José Berger tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Paulo José Berger showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Zézinho Antunes, who was totally free with the ball in the 16th minute. In the 17th minute, Zézinho Antunes left the goalkeeper for dead before tapping the ball into the right side of the net. The Patau SC fans were clearly happy with the effort and the scoreboard reflected the new score: 0-2. After 21 minutes, Romeu Chaves mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Patau SC and the Malagutti Uai Soccer players grew even worse after the yellow card. Romeu Chaves hit a great freekick 21 minutes into the match. Zézinho Antunes sent away a hard shot on goal in the 24th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Patau SC's Laércio Alagoano proved his good apprehension of play when he, in the 30th minute of the match, managed to save Patau SC from getting a goal against them. Manuel Couto sent away a hard shot on goal in the 32nd minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. After having played for 35 minutes, Zézinho Antunes managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Patau SC's supporters crossed their fingers, but Zézinho Antunes was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. When Manuel Couto came up free with the goalie in the 45th minute, the Patau SC 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 Manuel Couto couldn't finish the play. Romeu Chaves fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 47th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Paulo José Berger having to interfere.

The hometeam waved at the audience when it was time for Alfredo Proença to strike the kick off in the second half. In the 54th minute, Zézinho Antunes made a precise shot to the right of Paulo José Berger. Malagutti Uai Soccer's defense was at fault, and the scoreboard reflected the new score, 0-3. In the 59th minute Marcos Simão shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Laércio Alagoano saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Enio Martins hit a great freekick 60 minutes into the match. Célio Teixeira's late challenge caught a Patau SC's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Célio Teixeira helped the player get up and apologised. The supporters of Patau SC booed when Malagutti Uai Soccer was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 62 match minutes in a wonderful position. Célio Teixeira didn't get a good kick on the ball. After 65 played minutes Patau SC got a freekick which was hit by Romeu Chaves. If Zézinho Antunes had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 71st minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Manuel Couto blasted a shot towards the goal in the 82nd minute, but the shot hit the top of the crossbar and went out without Paulo José Berger having to make a save. 85 minutes into the game, Cássio Sena was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. Malagutti Uai Soccer's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave Patau SC the free kick. After a rather tough play, Malagutti Uai Soccer's Cássio Sena got a free kick in the 85th minute. In the 86th minute, César Galvão sent off a long shot on goal, but the shot was nowhere near the goal and Malagutti Uai Soccer's Paulo José Berger didn't even have to move. Manuel Couto struck a weak shot in the 96th minute. Paulo José Berger didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Patau SC. When the final whistle sounded Patau SC left the ground with the victory after a much better performance than Malagutti Uai Soccer.
