Spectators: 7750 (Terracing: 5814, Seating: 1782, VIP seats: 154) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Nuno Correia started the match with the kick off. Olívio Souto could have scored with his fast shot on goal in the 3rd minute of the match, but Tommy Melin made a huge save.

The Templários MZC fans' excitement grew in the 18th match minute when Templários MZC's Giovanni Custódio looked to have a clear shot with the ball near the goal. The shot wasn't hard, but the ball still rolled over the goal line to make it 1-1 before the goalkeeper had a chance to intervene. In the 21st minute, Giovanni Custódio 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 32 minutes of play, Juoksengi's Ernst Holmberg made it 1-2 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net.

Erik Molin hit a great freekick 36 minutes into the match. 44 minutes into the match, Juoksengi's goalkeeper Tommy Melin had to clear away a ball on his right side after a cunning shot by Nuno Correia.
