Spectators: 32 (Terracing: 25, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) The mood of the audience was pleasant when Albertino Silva made the kick off which started today's match. With a little luck, Capareiros FC's Mariano Fernandes got control of the ball when Lúcio Abreu tried to sneak it across the goal line. 12 minutes into the game, Paulo Almeida cracked a shot to the right of the goalkeeper, 1-0. Mariano Fernandes was not in position, and could only watch the ball fly in. Mariano Pereira didn't have a chance when a screaming shot from Albertino Silva went, in the 18th minute, to the upper right corner, 1-1 was the resulting score. In the 21st minute Vítor Costa shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Mariano Pereira saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. The supporters of Capareiros FC booed when Ledo FC was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 24 match minutes in a wonderful position. Humberto Sá didn't get a good kick on the ball. When Mariano Marques came up free with the goalie in the 25th minute, the Capareiros 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 Mariano Marques couldn't finish the play. Vítor Costa 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. In the 30th minute, Heitor Bessa hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. After having played for 31 minutes, Vítor Costa managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Capareiros FC's supporters crossed their fingers, but Vítor Costa was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. In the 35th minute, Vítor Costa 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. Mariano Fernandes made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Paulo Almeida in the 40th minute of play. Mariano Fernandes took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Paulo Almeida, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. If Paulo Almeida had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 43rd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Vítor Costa recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 47th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. After the first half the score was level. The break gave the players a chance to catch their breath, whilst the managers went over the tactics with them again.

The hometeam waved at the audience when it was time for Paulo Almeida to strike the kick off in the second half. In the 57th minute, Mariano Marques sent off a long shot on goal, but the shot was nowhere near the goal and Ledo FC's Mariano Pereira didn't even have to move. 61 minutes into the match, Capareiros FC's goal looked a bit too open when Paulo Almeida came free, but Mariano Fernandes reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Ledo FC's Lúcio Abreu got a good chance for a goal in the 66th minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. In the 67th minute, Óscar Gonçalves hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. If Lúcio Abreu had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 70th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Lúcio Abreu took the ball and in the 74 minute, shot a rapid shot to the right of a surprised Mariano Fernandes. Mariano Fernandes dived to the right, and did manage to get a hand on the shot, but it still went into the right corner making it 2-1. Ledo FC's defense didn't have a chance, in the 80th minute, when Albertino Silva scored to the left of an out of position Mariano Pereira, making the score, 2-2. If Paulo Almeida had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 84th minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. After some fancy dribbling in the 86th minute, Paulo Almeida managed to get in a good position for a shot. Ledo FC's supporters rose to their feet, but Paulo Almeida was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Mariano Fernandes breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. After having played for 89 minutes, Lúcio Abreu managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Ledo FC's supporters crossed their fingers, but Lúcio Abreu was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. The teams fought very hard right up to the final whistle. Both sets of players were happy to go away with a draw.
