Spectators: 33 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Jorge Azevedo started the match with the kick off. After a rather tough play, SC Anca's António Lima got a free kick in the 3rd minute. When Luís Mendes, who was free, got the in front of the goal in the 6 minute he wasn't focused and tipped the ball just over the goal. The Heitor Borba was delighted since the ball would have got in if it had gone under the crossbar. After a rather tough play, SC Anca's Jorge Azevedo got a free kick in the 8th minute. In the 12th of the match, Jorge Azevedo tried to place the ball in the upper right corner, but Diamantino Fernandes got in the way and made a wonderful save. Heitor Borba showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Luís Mendes, who was totally free with the ball in the 13th minute. SC Anca's Jorge Azevedo got a good chance for a goal in the 18th minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. Mirandela's Luís Mendes pulled a muscle in his back after 23 minutes and couldn't finish the game. When Daniel Coelho fell near the penalty area in the 24th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored SC Anca's protests and gave Daniel Coelho a yellow card for diving instead. After 23 minutes of play, the referee blew the whistle. It was a penalty for SC Anca! José Viana shot the penalty kick right outside the post. In the 28th minute, Carlos Paredes got an opportunity to score, but he didn't get a solid hit on the ball and ended up kicking it wide of the goal. Heitor Borba showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Carlos Paredes in the 30th minute of the match. In the 32nd minute, Carlos Paredes made a precise shot to the right of Heitor Borba. SC Anca's defense was at fault, and the scoreboard reflected the new score, 0-1. Lucas Almeida fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 43rd minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Diamantino Fernandes having to interfere. Manuel Paiva kicked well hit freekick during the 45th minute of the match. Carlos Paredes might have been able to make a better finish in the 47th minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Heitor Borba. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Carlos Paredes ran back to his position shaking his head. Luck had favoured the away team in the first, and they walked off with a 0-1 lead.

When the second half was about to start, both teams quickly lined up and Carlos Paredes made a kick off. Diamantino Fernandes showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Lucas Almeida in the 56th minute of the match. After 64 played minutes, Mirandela's José Viana shot from a long distance, and at first it looked like the ball was going into the goal, but the goalkeeper Heitor 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 Mirandela reached it. Mirandela's Carlos Paredes got a good chance for a goal in the 69th minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. Lucas Almeida sent away a hard shot on goal in the 73rd minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Diamantino Fernandes didn't have a chance when a screaming shot from Lucas Almeida went, in the 80th minute, to the upper right corner, 1-1 was the resulting score. Jorge Azevedo hit a great freekick 88 minutes into the match. Álvaro Guerreiro kicked well hit freekick during the 91st minute of the match. Both teams had looked equal from kick-off, and no-one was surprised when the match finally ended in a draw.
