Marco Morais recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 36th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. After some fancy dribbling in the 43rd minute, Alexandre Tavares managed to get in a good position for a shot. Ramada's supporters rose to their feet, but Alexandre Tavares was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. João Setúbal breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. João Setúbal took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Raul Gaspar, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side.
