When Basílio Moutinho came up free with the goalie in the 53rd minute, the SC Galo 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 Basílio Moutinho couldn't finish the play. Adelino Lopes charged in rather forcefully in the 57th minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Adelino Lopes the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. After 59 played minutes, SC Galo's Cristiano Nascimento shot from a long distance, and at first it looked like the ball was going into the goal, but the goalkeeper Manuel Borba 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 Galo reached it.

After some careless play in the SC Galo defense, Daniel Cruz kicked a shot that curved into the net to the right of Jorge Leão. The SC Galo fans voiced their displeasure as they felt that Jorge Leão should have stopped the shot. The Alcochete supporters could be heard counting down the last seconds of the match. They errupted in celebration when the whistle blew, knowing Alcochete would go home with victory in their luggage after a match that easily could have ended differently.
