Tardariz
Spectators: 34 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) The referee blew the whistle for a penalty in the 6th minute of the game. One of Tardariz:s players had nearly got his shirt torn off by an opponent while getting free in front of Sabadao:s goal. When Manuel Trindade came up free with the goalie in the 18th minute, the Sabadao 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 Trindade couldn't finish the play. Bernardo Marques charged in rather forcefully in the 27th minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Bernardo Marques the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. Abel Sousa was probably a little too eager to shoot when he, in the 28th played minute, shot the ball from way out. The shot was hard, but the ball flew wide of the goal. 36 minutes into the match, Tardariz's goal looked a bit too open when Fernando Paredes came free, but Humberto Valente reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Manuel Matias charged in rather forcefully in the 36th minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Manuel Matias the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. In the 36th minute, Manuel Matias hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Bruno Oliveira fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 40th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Nuno Luz having to interfere. Bruno Oliveira received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 42nd minute. Nuno Luz tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Manuel Trindade recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 44th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. Disappointed in the 0-1 score, the home team went to the dressing room to adjust tactics for the second half.

The players of the away team seemed most concentrated when Gil Tavares stepped up to make the kick off in the second half. Nuno Luz came out of the goal in the 54th minute to try and stop a shot by Tardariz's Gil Tavares. But to his dismay, Gil Tavares quickly shot the ball in between his legs and into the goal making it 1-1. In the 58th minute, Manuel Trindade fired away a killer shot towards the goal that, to the delight of Humberto Valente, passed just outside the right post. The referee was alert and spotted a serious foul by Simão Alves during the 61st minute. The player immediately received a yellow card. After 62 played minutes Sabadao got a freekick which was hit by Simão Alves. Hélder Costa, 63 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. An unexpectedly hard shot by Bruno Oliveira in the 65th minute of play forced Sabadao's goalkeeper Nuno Luz to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. A collision led to Tardariz getting a freekick after 69 minutes play. Hélder Costa hit a great ball. Manuel Trindade recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 71st minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. With an all-out effort, Sabadao's Humberto Valente threw himself towards the right post 72 minutes into the match and grabbed hold of the ball from Fernando Paredes, which otherwise would have been placed in the net. In the 82nd minute Fernando Paredes shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Humberto Valente saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Bruno Oliveira received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 90th minute. Nuno Luz tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. The teams fought very hard right up to the final whistle. Both sets of players were happy to go away with a draw.
