Spectators: 34 (Terracing: 26,
Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Armando Macedo kicked off to start the match. After some careless play in the SC Urros defense, Joaquim Pereira kicked a shot that curved into the net to the right of Fernando Marques. The SC Urros fans voiced their displeasure as they felt that Fernando Marques should have stopped the shot. Defesa's Joaquim Pereira got a good chance for a goal in the 10th minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. Defesa's João Branco played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Augusto Henriques in the 12th minute of play. If Armando Macedo had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 15th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. 16 minutes into the match, Defesa's goal looked a bit too open when Amadeu Magalhães came free, but João Branco reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. An unexpectedly hard shot by Jacinto Leão in the 22nd minute of play forced SC Urros's goalkeeper Fernando Marques to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Jacinto Leão sent away a hard shot on goal in the 23rd minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance.

The home team had fought hardest to put themselves in a deserved lead.
The hometeam waved at the audience when it was time for Jacinto Leão to strike the kick off in the second half. When Luís Torres fell near the penalty area in the 54th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Defesa's protests and gave Luís Torres a yellow card for diving instead. Luís Torres kicked well hit freekick during the 54th minute of the match. Defesa's João Branco proved his good apprehension of play when he, in the 58th minute of the match, managed to save Defesa from getting a goal against them.
