Estadio Quintela
Spectators: 34 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Raul Reis kicked off to start the match. Nuno Cruz fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 6th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Miguel Moniz having to interfere. Miguel Moniz made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Raul Reis in the 8th minute of play. Miguel Moniz took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Raul Reis, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Miguel Moniz was out of position in the 14 minute of play, and Raul Reis capitalized on the mistake with a soft shot into the goal. Raul Reis really showed his touch with that goal: 1-0. In the 18th minute Lúcio Marques shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but António Sá saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. The audience was convinced that Raul Reis's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Miguel Moniz was relentless in the 22nd minute of the game. Nuno Cruz in the 23rdth minute had a little luck and got a chance for a shot in front of the goal. Without hesitation aimed to the right of Miguel Moniz, who managed to lunge to the right direction and made a save. Raul Reis struck a weak shot in the 25th minute. Miguel Moniz didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Quintela FC. Sardoa's Lúcio Marques got a good chance for a goal in the 28th minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. In the 35th minute the ball was on its way in behind Quintela FC's goalkeeper António Sá, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. An unexpectedly hard shot by Bernardo Jesus in the 37th minute of play forced Quintela FC's goalkeeper António Sá to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Raul Reis sent away a hard shot on goal in the 41st minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. When the referee blew for the end of the half the home team players were clearly happier, as they went in to the break leading 2-0.

When the second half was about to start, both teams quickly lined up and Bernardo Jesus made a kick off. After a defensive mix-up in Quintela FC's zone, Bernardo Jesus stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. António Sá came out of the goal and Bernardo Jesus tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. In the 58th minute the ball was on its way in behind Sardoa's goalkeeper Miguel Moniz, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. António Sá came out of the goal in the 66th minute to try and stop a shot by Sardoa's Daniel Vale. But to his dismay, Daniel Vale quickly shot the ball in between his legs and into the goal making it 2-1. Bernardo Jesus struck a weak shot in the 73rd minute. António Sá didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Sardoa. Bernardo Jesus fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 74th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without António Sá having to interfere. If Lúcio Marques had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 77th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. António Sá took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Bernardo Jesus, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Nuno Cruz fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 93rd minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Miguel Moniz having to interfere. In the 95th minute, Raul Reis 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. For all the effort they put into the match, the Sardoa players left disappointed. They had fought hard, but couldn't break down the home team's defense. The match ended in a win for Quintela FC.
