Spectators: 33 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) The mood of the audience was pleasant when Hugo Sousa made the kick off which started today's match. In the 4th minute Hugo Sousa shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Manuel Sousa saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Gaspar Campos fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 9th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without José Campos having to interfere. When Artur Veiga came up free with the goalie in the 12th minute, the SC Marteleira 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 Artur Veiga couldn't finish the play. Hélder Martins kicked well hit freekick during the 13th minute of the match. Rapada FC's Gaspar Campos was standing unmarked in front of the goal when he, in the 16th play minute, got the ball and easily drilled it into the goal. If Artur Veiga had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 20th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. José Campos took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Gaspar Campos, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. After 26th play minutes Hugo Sousa shot 1-1, a short shot which went by Manuel Sousa and just under the crossbar into goal.

In the 55th minute, Vítor Simões hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Artur Veiga was really disappointed when he shot the ball just outside the right post instead of scoring a goal in the 57th minute.
