After 13 played minutes, SC Alfaquiques's Sebastião Coelho shot from a long distance, and at first it looked like the ball was going into the goal, but the goalkeeper Joaquim Barros 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 SC Alfaquiques reached it. A collision led to SC Alfaquiques getting a freekick after 16 minutes play. Daniel Neto hit a great ball. Catarino Aguiar received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 18th minute. Catarino Sá tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere.

The supporters of SC Alfaquiques booed when SC Bouro was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 33 match minutes in a wonderful position. Heitor Amaro didn't get a good kick on the ball. SC Alfaquiques's Sebastião Coelho couldn't find anyone to pass the ball to, so he shot a long shot towards the goal in the 34th minute. The shot went wide which resulted in a goal kick for SC Bouro. When Vasco Santos came up free with the goalie in the 36th minute, the SC Alfaquiques 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 Vasco Santos couldn't finish the play. If Vasco Santos had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 44th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. The crowd was extremely unhappy with the home team's performance in the first half. They were losing 0-2.

The players of the away team seemed most concentrated when Vasco Santos stepped up to make the kick off in the second half. 57 minutes into the match, SC Bouro's goalkeeper Joaquim Barros had to clear away a ball on his right side after a cunning shot by Ricardo Neves. Joaquim Barros took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Vasco Santos, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. After some fancy dribbling in the 65th minute, Francisco Abreu managed to get in a good position for a shot. SC Bouro's supporters rose to their feet, but Francisco Abreu was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Catarino Sá breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick.
