Spectators: 32 (Terracing: 25, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Amadeu Martins kicked off to start the match. Rogério Garcia succeeded to score despite a near miss that spronge from right pole into the goal to 1-0 in the 3rd playminute. Abel Azevedo fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 6th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Jorge Pinto having to interfere. When Lucas Martins fell near the penalty area in the 10th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored SC Mar's protests and gave Lucas Martins a yellow card for diving instead. In the 10th minute, Lucas Martins hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. In the 12th minute Abel Azevedo shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Jorge Pinto saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Rogério Garcia sent away a hard shot on goal in the 13th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. After some careless play in the SC Mar defense, Rogério Garcia kicked a shot that curved into the net to the right of Jorge Pinto. The SC Mar fans voiced their displeasure as they felt that Jorge Pinto should have stopped the shot. Lúcio Henriques took the ball and in the 21 minute, shot a rapid shot to the right of a surprised Alexandre Pedroso. Alexandre Pedroso 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. After a defensive mix-up in SC Rabuide's zone, Lúcio Henriques stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Alexandre Pedroso came out of the goal and Lúcio Henriques tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. In the 32nd minute, Abel Azevedo 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.

The wind increased when Rogério Garcia made the kick off in the second half. 59 minutes into the match, SC Rabuide's goalkeeper Alexandre Pedroso had to clear away a ball on his right side after a cunning shot by Lúcio Henriques. A collision led to SC Rabuide getting a freekick after 61 minutes play. Paulo Viana hit a great ball. Amadeu Martins fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 62nd minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Alexandre Pedroso having to interfere.

It was a penalty for SC Rabuide! In the 85th minute the ball was on its way in behind SC Rabuide's goalkeeper Alexandre Pedroso, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. SC Mar's attack was well implemented in the 89th minute, but when Amadeu Martins was about to shoot he didn't get a good hit on the ball and it hit the crossbar and flew over. Goal Kick. The audience thought a goal was coming when Lúcio Henriques got free with Alexandre Pedroso in the 91st minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort. In the 93rd minute, Amadeu Martins 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.

The SC Rabuide fans had already started to leave before the final whistle blew. SC Mar were clearly better and deserved to take the win.
