Estadio Boim
Spectators: 34 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Gustavo Resende started the match with the kick off. Lourenço Aleixo hit a great freekick 5 minutes into the match. Alexandre Monteiro showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Carlos Vale, who was totally free with the ball in the 11th minute. If Vasco Matos had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 14th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. André Brás kicked well hit freekick during the 15th minute of the match. Paulo Correia took a chance and fired a shot far from the goal in the 21st minute, but it turned out to be a dangerous situation for Delfim Esteves. Pardielas's goalkeeper really had to stretch himself to stop the ball from crossing the goal line. Cláudio Barros charged in rather forcefully in the 21st minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Cláudio Barros the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. Cláudio Barros kicked well hit freekick during the 22nd minute of the match.

To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. Lourenço Aleixo sent away a hard shot on goal in the 34th minute, but the ball hit the crossbar and went out. A very good chance for a goal. After 36 played minutes SC Boim got a freekick which was hit by João Cunha. Carlos Vale sent away a hard shot on goal in the 39th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance.

Gil Castro, 49 minutes into the match, dribbled the ball up the side of the field and decided to take a long shot at the goal. Unfortunately, the ball was poorly hit and landed closer to the corner than to the goal. No-one was surprised that the home team were leading 1-0 at half-time.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Lourenço Aleixo to make the kick off. Alexandre Monteiro didn't have a chance when a screaming shot from Carlos Vale went, in the 53rd minute, to the upper right corner, 1-1 was the resulting score. In the 56th minute, Carlos Vale hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Vasco Matos struck a weak shot in the 60th minute. Delfim Esteves didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for SC Boim. 65 minutes into the match, Vasco Matos notched a goal, 2-1, to the right of Pardielas's Delfim Esteves. Delfim Esteves was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. When SC Boim's Vasco Matos in the 74th minute got a chance for a shot 74th didn't hesitate and placed the ball to the right of the goalie. A beautiful save bye Pardielas's goalie prevented a goal. Carlos Vale sent away a hard shot on goal in the 75th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance.

Alexandre Monteiro showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Lourenço Aleixo in the 91st minute of the match. The supporters of Pardielas booed when SC Boim was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 93 match minutes in a wonderful position. Vasco Matos didn't get a good kick on the ball. When Cláudio Barros was, once again, overly rough in his play he received his second yellow card and was ordered off the ground. 95 minutes had been played. After a rather tough play, Pardielas's Cláudio Barros got a free kick in the 96th minute. In the 99th minute SC Boim were awarded a corner. Carlos Viana went to the cornerflag to take it.
