Estadio Gandufe
Spectators: 32 (Terracing: 25, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) The mood of the audience was pleasant when Fábio Baptista made the kick off which started today's match. In the 5th minute, Bento Vale left the goalkeeper for dead before tapping the ball into the right side of the net. The Gandufe FC fans were clearly happy with the effort and the scoreboard reflected the new score: 1-0. Viriato Figueiredo was astounded when the referee showed him the red card after a seemingly innocent challenge, 11 minutes into the match. Vítor Vale placed the ball on the penalty spot and got himself ready to shoot. Post out! Lucas Trindade took the ball and in the 17 minute, shot a rapid shot to the right of a surprised Júlio Amaral. Júlio Amaral dived to the right, and did manage to get a hand on the shot, but it still went into the right corner making it 1-1. Júlio Amaral showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Júlio Dias in the 23rd minute of the match. The referee was alert and spotted a serious foul by Rodrigo Vaz during the 37th minute. The player immediately received a yellow card. Rodrigo Vaz kicked well hit freekick during the 37th minute of the match. A well-hit corner resulted in Rogério Martins heading the ball towards the goal, but to his dismay he misdirected it and missed the goal completely. With a couple of smart ball manuevers Júlio Dias in the 43rd managed to get into a good position. With a left leg Júlio Amaral saved Gandufe FC from getting behind.

The players of the home team were most fresh-looking when they entered the field to play the second half. Júlio Dias was the one to do the kick off. When Gandufe FC's Fábio Baptista in the 52nd minute got a chance for a shot 52nd didn't hesitate and placed the ball to the right of the goalie. A beautiful save bye Souzelas's goalie prevented a goal. If Júlio Dias had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 55th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. The referee was alert and spotted a serious foul by Ricardo Reis during the 58th minute. The player immediately received a yellow card. After 58 played minutes Gandufe FC got a freekick which was hit by Ricardo Reis. When Júlio Dias came up free with the goalie in the 60th minute, the Souzelas 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 Júlio Dias couldn't finish the play. In the 63rdth minute of the game Bento Vale who was perfectly placed tried to make a shot on goal, but Souzelas's Oliveira Marques was lucky and managed to grab hold of the ball. Júlio Dias fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 64th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Júlio Amaral having to interfere. Rodrigo Vaz received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 74th minute. Oliveira Marques tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. The audience was convinced that Bento Vale's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Oliveira Marques was relentless in the 78th minute of the game. After some fancy dribbling in the 81st minute, Júlio Dias managed to get in a good position for a shot. Souzelas's supporters rose to their feet, but Júlio Dias was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Júlio Amaral breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. Souzelas's Oliveira Marques played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Bento Vale in the 83rd minute of play. In the 86th minute Fábio Baptista shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Oliveira Marques saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Oliveira Marques made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Rodrigo Vaz in the 92nd minute of play. Gandufe FC were really happy, having secured the victory after a very even contest. They thanked the players of Souzelas for a fine match.
