Spectators: 33 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) The sun was shining, the grass was green and the audience cheered when Hugo Vale got the match started through his kick off. After 7 minutes of play, Bonitos's Américo Baptista made it 0-1 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. David Lima was left in no man's land by his defense there! In the 11th minute of the match Armando Correia shot from a long distance. The ball could have gone into the goal to the right of the goalkeeper, but David Lima showed his good shape when he easily got hold of the ball. Hugo Vale recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 12th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. 15 minutes into the match, Armindo Aguiar had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Óscar Soares. Bonitos's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Armindo Aguiar was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 1-1. In the 18th match minute, Bonitos was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Armando Correia to maneuver through the defense. If Xavier Ramos had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 24th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead.

After the first half the score was level. The break gave the players a chance to catch their breath, whilst the managers went over the tactics with them again.

When the second half was about to start, both teams quickly lined up and Xavier Ramos made a kick off. The referee blew the whistle for a penalty in the 69th minute of the game. One of SC Parroselos:s players had nearly got his shirt torn off by an opponent while getting free in front of Bonitos:s goal. Bonitos's Nuno Torres was completely in control and kicked 2-2 on penalty. When Américo Baptista came up free with the goalie in the 76th minute, the Bonitos 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 Américo Baptista couldn't finish the play. Xavier Ramos who was well placed in front of the goal fired away a dangerous shot that in the 78thth minute tested the skills of David Lima when he managed to save the team from getting behind.

Armindo Aguiar received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 81st minute. Óscar Soares tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere.

If Américo Baptista had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 87th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. The audience was convinced that Xavier Ramos's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but David Lima was relentless in the 90th minute of the game. After a defensive mix-up in Bonitos's zone, Armindo Aguiar stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Óscar Soares came out of the goal and Armindo Aguiar tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. The SC Parroselos support was delighted with a win in a match that could easily have ended differently.
