A wasted opportunity for Bico FC. 10 minutes into the match, Vicente Guarda notched a goal, 0-1, to the right of SC Baldos's Eusébio Antunes.

With a couple of smart ball manuevers Bernardo Nogueira in the 20th managed to get into a good position. With a left leg Eusébio Antunes saved SC Baldos from getting behind.

The players of the away team seemed most concentrated when Amadeu Coimbra stepped up to make the kick off in the second half. Ricardo Lopes took a chance and fired a shot far from the goal in the 53rd minute, but it turned out to be a dangerous situation for Eusébio Antunes. SC Baldos's goalkeeper really had to stretch himself to stop the ball from crossing the goal line. Vicente Guarda received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 56th minute. Eusébio Antunes tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. 56 minutes into the game, Mário Nogueira was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. SC Baldos's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave Bico FC the free kick. After 64 played minutes SC Baldos got a freekick which was hit by Pedro Nunes. After having played for 73 minutes, Bernardo Nogueira managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal.

Pedro Nunes kicked well hit freekick during the 74th minute of the match. After some fancy dribbling in the 75th minute, Vicente Guarda managed to get in a good position for a shot. Bico FC's supporters rose to their feet, but Vicente Guarda was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Eusébio Antunes breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. If Bernardo Nogueira had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 78th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. When Vicente Guarda came up free with the goalie in the 94th minute, the Bico FC fans jumped to their feet. But the shot missed the goal by a fraction of an inch, and the fans sat back down disappointed that Vicente Guarda couldn't finish the play. Bernardo Nogueira received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 96th minute. Eusébio Antunes tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Bico FC's players went to the stands to thank the travelling support. The fan's backing had helped spurr the team on to a fine performance that won them the match.
