Tostao
Spectators: 33 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when José Leão took the kick off in the first half of the match. If Joel Nogueira had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 7th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Álvaro Campos stood for a superb save when he managed to get hold of José Leão's shot from short distance in the 9th minute. The audience was convinced that Paulo Vale's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but José Porto was relentless in the 12th minute of the game. David Brás scored 0-1 in the 17th match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of José Porto, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. Joel Nogueira's shot was meant for the net just under the crossbar, but Álvaro Campos read the situation well and was quickly in position to make a wonderful save in the 20th minute of play. Álvaro Campos made an important save on a dangerous shot by Joel Nogueira in the 47th minute. Luck had favoured the away team in the first, and they walked off with a 0-1 lead.
