Emanuel Marques could have scored with his fast shot on goal in the 17th minute of the match, but José Nogueira made a huge save.

José Nogueira showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from David Carvalho in the 37th minute of the match. Emanuel Marques in the 40thth minute had a little luck and got a chance for a shot in front of the goal. Without hesitation aimed to the right of José Nogueira, who managed to lunge to the right direction and made a save. If David Carvalho had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 41st minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. If Alfredo Coimbra had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 45th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead.

Emanuel Marques fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 90th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without José Nogueira having to interfere. After a rather tough play, Roussada's Emílio Gueifão got a free kick in the 94th minute. 97 minutes into the match, Nelas's goal looked a bit too open when Emílio Gueifão came free, but André Vaz reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line.
