When João Moreira, who was free, got the in front of the goal in the 12 minute he wasn't focused and tipped the ball just over the goal.

António Barros sent away a hard shot on goal in the 29th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. If António Barros had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 31st minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. When Rafael Amaral fell near the penalty area in the 34th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Sedielos FC's protests and gave Rafael Amaral a yellow card for diving instead.

Jacinto Jesus didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Sedielos FC. Painho FC's Jacinto Jesus played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by João Moreira in the 45th minute of play. João Moreira recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 48th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal.

Jacinto Jesus didn't have a chance when a screaming shot from Mário Carvalho went, in the 67th minute, to the upper right corner, 1-1 was the resulting score.

In the 74th minute, Rafael Amaral hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Nuno Soares was probably a little too eager to shoot when he, in the 75th played minute, shot the ball from way out. The shot was hard, but the ball flew wide of the goal.

After some careless play in the Sedielos FC defense, António Barros kicked a shot that curved into the net to the right of Tiago Paredes. The Sedielos FC fans voiced their displeasure as they felt that Tiago Paredes should have stopped the shot. In the 94th minute João Moreira shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Jacinto Jesus saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. For all the effort they put into the match, the Sedielos 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 Painho FC.
