Spectators: 34 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when José Borges kicked off to start the match.

When Afonso Vieira came up free with the goalie in the 22nd minute, the SC Taboneira 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 Afonso Vieira couldn't finish the play. Afonso Vieira fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 24th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Eusébio Ferreira having to interfere. With a couple of smart ball manuevers José Borges in the 28th managed to get into a good position. With a left leg Eusébio Ferreira saved Janelas from getting behind.

Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal.
