Thanks to some nice moves Bento Amaro could shoot a difficult shot in the 3rd minute, which Adelino Pinho however easily saved by the left post. Jou FC's António Dantas played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Paulo Antunes in the 7th minute of play. In the 11th minute, Rui Ferro 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. Rui Ferro was extremely unlucky when he, in the 13th minute, took a shot that hit the right post and went out.

But the shot missed the goal by a fraction of an inch, and the fans sat back down disappointed that Rui Ferro couldn't finish the play. Paulo 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. A collision led to Jou FC getting a freekick after 27 minutes play. David Alves hit a great ball. If Artur Barbosa had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 30th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. After 32 played minutes, Serpa's Afonso Araújo shot from a long distance, and at first it looked like the ball was going into the goal, but the goalkeeper António Dantas came through and got his fingers on the ball before it flew over the goal line. He then quickly gripped the ball tighter before the forwards in Serpa reached it. In the 33rd minute Paulo Antunes shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but António Dantas saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. If Artur Barbosa had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 35th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. António Dantas came out of the goal in the 38th minute to try and stop a shot by Serpa's Paulo Antunes. But to his dismay, Paulo Antunes quickly shot the ball in between his legs and into the goal making it 0-1. The crowd was extremely unhappy with the home team's performance in the first half. They were losing 0-1.

The wind increased when Rui Ferro made the kick off in the second half. If Paulo Antunes had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 51st minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. A collision led to Serpa getting a freekick after 56 minutes play. Afonso Araújo hit a great ball. Rui Ferro recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 62nd minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. Paulo Antunes was really disappointed when he shot the ball just outside the right post instead of scoring a goal in the 64th minute. Serpa's manager could be seen on the sidelines shaking his head and muttering to himself as his team had just wasted another chance. A hard shot 66 in the game by Artur Barbosa from a close distance when the talented António Dantas managed to make a qualified save. Jou FC's players were relieved. Paulo Antunes fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 67th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without António Dantas having to interfere. António Dantas was in the perfect position, and the defense had done a good job marking him, but Artur Barbosa showcased his skills and made a perfect shot to score 1-2 in the 69 minute of play. The audience thought a goal was coming when Artur Barbosa got free with António Dantas in the 74th minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort. Adelino Pinho showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Bento Amaro, who was totally free with the ball in the 82nd minute. In the 84thth minute of the game Rui Ferro who was perfectly placed tried to make a shot on goal, but Serpa's Adelino Pinho was lucky and managed to grab hold of the ball. After 95 minutes of play, Serpa's Artur Barbosa made it 1-3 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. António Dantas was left in no man's land by his defense there!
