Spectators: 34 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) The mood of the audience was pleasant when Rafael Gueifão made the kick off which started today's match. With a little luck, Bravo's António Mendes got control of the ball when Mariano Sousa tried to sneak it across the goal line. Vicente Pinto took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Rafael Gueifão, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. In the 7th minute of the match, Mariano Sousa got a very nice opportunity to score, but António Mendes was well-placed and pushed the ball away from the goal at the left post. If Mariano Sousa had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 10th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. After a defensive mix-up in Bravo's zone, Mariano Sousa stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. António Mendes came out of the goal and Mariano Sousa tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. The supporters of Germil FC booed when Bravo was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 18 match minutes in a wonderful position. Paulo Brito didn't get a good kick on the ball. Mariano Sousa sent away a hard shot on goal in the 27th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Eusébio Amaral was probably a little too eager to shoot when he, in the 31st played minute, shot the ball from way out. The shot was hard, but the ball flew wide of the goal. In the 40th minute, Rafael Gueifão 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. 44 minutes into the match, Germil FC's goal looked a bit too open when Rafael Gueifão came free, but Vicente Pinto reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line.

When the second half was about to start, both teams quickly lined up and Gil Trindade made a kick off. Alfredo Rocha received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 54th minute. Vicente Pinto tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Vicente Pinto made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Rafael Gueifão in the 56th minute of play. Mariano Sousa sent away a hard shot on goal in the 58th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. António Mendes made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Mariano Sousa in the 62nd minute of play. Paulo Brito charged in rather forcefully in the 62nd minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Paulo Brito the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. In the 63rd minute, Paulo Brito hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Gil Trindade received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 64th minute. António Mendes tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. António Mendes stood for a superb save when he managed to get hold of Mariano Sousa's shot from short distance in the 72nd minute. Alfredo Rocha struck a weak shot in the 81st minute. Vicente Pinto didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Bravo. In the 83rd minute, Alfredo Rocha ran past the defenders and hit a shot which went straight ahead into goal. Vicente Pinto was frozen by the shot and now it was 0-1. Germil FC's Vicente Pinto played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Fernando Branco in the 90th minute of play. Alfredo Rocha fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 94th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Vicente Pinto having to interfere. The Bravo players were relieved to hear the final whistle blow to end the match. The away crowd was happy to see their team win after a very tight game.
