But the shot missed the goal by a fraction of an inch, and the fans sat back down disappointed that Fábio Paredes couldn't finish the play. If Joaquim Aleixo had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 31st minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead.

The hometeam waved at the audience when it was time for Basílio Almeida to strike the kick off in the second half. After 52 played minutes, SC Misarela's Mário Ferro shot from a long distance, and at first it looked like the ball was going into the goal, but the goalkeeper Américo Leão 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 SC Misarela reached it. Paulo Correia struck a weak shot in the 53rd minute. Américo Leão didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for SC Misarela.

With a little luck, SC Misarela's Cristiano Matos got control of the ball when Joaquim Aleixo tried to sneak it across the goal line. 74 minutes into the game, Basílio Almeida was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. SC Misarela's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave SC Vilaca the free kick. 75 minutes into the match, Fábio Paredes notched a goal, 0-4, to the right of SC Misarela's Cristiano Matos.

The SC Vilaca supporters could be heard counting down the last seconds of the match. They errupted in celebration when the whistle blew, knowing SC Vilaca would go home with victory in their luggage after a match that easily could have ended differently.
