Spectators: 33 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) The supporters of Toural booed when SC Velas was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 5 match minutes in a wonderful position. Jorge Antunes didn't get a good kick on the ball. After 9 minutes Toural's defender was forced to head the ball over the line for a corner. It was Jacinto Lisboa who took care of the corner kick. When the match had gone on for 12 minutes, Vasco Borges put it in 0-1 from a short distance just to the right of Ricardo Mota. In the 17th minute, Jorge Antunes hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. A hard and well directed shot from Gil Luz led 17 minutes into the game to a goal after the ball had bounced deceptively just in front of the goal. SC Velas's Ricardo Mota became a little unsure and couldn't grip the ball before it was over the goalline. Thus it was 0-2. An unexpectedly hard shot by Nuno Gaspar in the 29th minute of play forced Toural's goalkeeper Alfredo Valente to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Nuno Gaspar sent away a hard shot on goal in the 33rd minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. In the 37th minute Vasco Borges shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Ricardo Mota saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. If Nuno Gaspar had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 41st minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. When Pedro Fonseca fell near the penalty area in the 42nd minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Toural's protests and gave Pedro Fonseca a yellow card for diving instead. After a rather tough play, Toural's Pedro Fonseca got a free kick in the 42nd minute. 44 minutes into the match, Toural's goal looked a bit too open when Nuno Gaspar came free, but Alfredo Valente reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Even after changing tactics the home team jogged off the field with a 0-2 deficit. They would have to work harder if they wanted to turn things around in the second half.

António Reis fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 57th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Alfredo Valente having to interfere. Vasco Borges sent away a hard shot on goal in the 64th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out.

When SC Velas's Nuno Gaspar, in the 75th minute, received a pass right in front of the net, it looked like a certain goal, but his shot went outside. A wasted opportunity for SC Velas.

Alfredo Valente was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. The referee was alert and spotted a serious foul by Manuel Aguiar during the 93rd minute.
