Estadio Magos
Spectators: 34 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) Magos's Nuno Domingues started the match with a crisp pass. The crowd had been anticipating this game for weeks and the excitement in the stadium was easily visible. After some fancy dribbling in the 3rd minute, Nuno Domingues managed to get in a good position for a shot. Magos's supporters rose to their feet, but Nuno Domingues was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Vítor Luz breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. 6 minutes into the match, Boim FC's goal looked a bit too open when Nuno Domingues came free, but Vítor Luz reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. After having played for 8 minutes, Lúcio Assunção managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Magos's supporters crossed their fingers, but Lúcio Assunção was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. In the 13th minute, Humberto Almeida 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. André Reis struck a weak shot in the 19th minute. Emanuel Jesus didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Boim FC. The audience was convinced that Nuno Domingues's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Vítor Luz was relentless in the 27th minute of the game. Emanuel Jesus showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Humberto Almeida, who was totally free with the ball in the 31st minute. Oliveira Henriques hit a great freekick 33 minutes into the match. In the 34th minute, Humberto Almeida 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. Vítor Luz didn't have a chance when a screaming shot from Lúcio Assunção went, in the 38th minute, to the upper right corner, 1-0 was the resulting score. In the 44th minute Humberto Almeida shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Emanuel Jesus saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. When the referee blew for the end of the half the home team players were clearly happier, as they went in to the break leading 1-0.

The wind increased when Humberto Almeida made the kick off in the second half. Jorge Pinheiro's late challenge caught a Magos's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Jorge Pinheiro helped the player get up and apologised. After a rather tough play, Boim FC's Jorge Pinheiro got a free kick in the 59th minute. Boim FC's Vítor Luz played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Nuno Domingues in the 61st minute of play. The long shot by Rui Nunes in the 63rd minute really tested Emanuel Jesus's skills. The ball was on its way into the goal to the left of him when he managed to stretch himself and save the shot and avoid a goal. After 68 minutes, Armindo Sousa mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Magos and the Boim FC players grew even worse after the yellow card. After a rather tough play, Magos's Armindo Sousa got a free kick in the 69th minute. With a couple of smart ball manuevers Lúcio Assunção in the 71st managed to get into a good position. With a left leg Vítor Luz saved Boim FC from getting behind. An unexpectedly hard shot by Lúcio Assunção in the 74th minute of play forced Boim FC's goalkeeper Vítor Luz to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Lúcio Assunção received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 84th minute. Vítor Luz tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. In the 91st minute, Lúcio Assunção 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. André Reis fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 93rd minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Emanuel Jesus having to interfere. In the 96th minute, Nuno Domingues left the goalkeeper for dead before tapping the ball into the right side of the net. The Magos fans were clearly happy with the effort and the scoreboard reflected the new score: 2-0. Magos's supporters were highly satisfied with the result. They cheered their team of the pitch, having watched them win a very even match.
