Spectators: 34 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) The mood of the audience was pleasant when Tomás Figueiredo made the kick off which started today's match. An unexpectedly hard shot by Tomás Figueiredo in the 5th minute of play forced SC Casevel's goalkeeper Miguel Garcia to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. The crowd rose to their feet as Joaquim Borba kicked a wonderful shot that went in to the left of a diving Paulo Delgado. That made the score 1-0 in the 11 minute of play. When André Mota fell near the penalty area in the 20th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored SC Masgalos's protests and gave André Mota a yellow card for diving instead. After 20 played minutes SC Masgalos got a freekick which was hit by André Mota. António Amorim was probably a little too eager to shoot when he, in the 20th played minute, shot the ball from way out. The shot was hard, but the ball flew wide of the goal. If Joaquim Borba had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 22nd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. If Gaspar Leão had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 27th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. 32 minutes into the match, SC Masgalos's goal looked a bit too open when Joaquim Borba came free, but Paulo Delgado reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Through an outstanding action, after 36 minutes, Paulo Delgado successfully got his hands on the ball before it slid into the goal at the right post. After 41 minutes of play, SC Casevel's Gaspar Leão made it 2-0 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Paulo Delgado was left in no man's land by his defense there! When the referee blew for the end of the half the home team players were clearly happier, as they went in to the break leading 2-0.

Tomás Figueiredo fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 52nd minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Miguel Garcia having to interfere. 54 minutes into the match, SC Masgalos's goal looked a bit too open when Joaquim Borba came free, but Paulo Delgado reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line.
