Spectators: 33 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Tiago Fernandes took the kick off in the first half of the match. After a rather tough play, Ansul FC's Vítor Reis got a free kick in the 2nd minute. 3 minutes into the match, Tiago Fernandes notched a goal, 1-0, to the right of Ansul FC's Marco Bessa.

Marco Bessa tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Marco Bessa took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Tiago Fernandes, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side.

When the second half was about to start, both teams quickly lined up and Xavier Campos made a kick off. Besoura FC's Amadeu Coimbra proved his good apprehension of play when he, in the 52nd minute of the match, managed to save Besoura FC from getting a goal against them.

After some fancy dribbling in the 75th minute, Xavier Campos managed to get in a good position for a shot. Ansul FC's supporters rose to their feet, but Xavier Campos was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Amadeu Coimbra breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. 82 minutes into the match, Ansul FC's goal looked a bit too open when Oliveira Gaspar came free, but Marco Bessa reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. After 91 minutes of play, Besoura FC's Oliveira Gaspar made it 2-0 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Marco Bessa was left in no man's land by his defense there! For all the effort they put into the match, the Ansul FC players left disappointed. They had fought hard, but couldn't break down the home team's defense. The match ended in a win for Besoura FC.
