Spectators: 32 (Terracing: 25, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) The sun was shining, the grass was green and the audience cheered when Alexandre Delgado got the match started through his kick off. 6 minutes into the game, Alexandre Delgado recieved a splendid long ball, split the defenders, and gently placed the ball to the left of Delfim Fonseca. Alexandre Delgado showed that you don't have to tear a hole in the net to score, 1-0. Sandro Sousa received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 10th minute. Delfim Fonseca tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. A collision led to Carreira FC getting a freekick after 15 minutes play. Álvaro Amorim hit a great ball. The supporters of Tremoceira booed when Carreira FC was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 17 match minutes in a wonderful position. Alexandre Aleixo didn't get a good kick on the ball. After recieving a nice pass, Tremoceira's Sérgio Simões tried to score from far away in the 18th minute, but the ball went over the crossbar. Eusébio Pinheiro took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Vicente Pedroso, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Fábio Anjos sent away a hard shot on goal in the 30th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. After 31 played minutes Tremoceira got a freekick which was hit by Hélder Pinheiro. In the 33rd minute, Daniel Bessa 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. Hélder Pinheiro's late challenge caught a Carreira FC's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Hélder Pinheiro helped the player get up and apologised. Hélder Pinheiro kicked well hit freekick during the 35th minute of the match. Eusébio Sá was probably a little too eager to shoot when he, in the 36th played minute, shot the ball from way out. The shot was hard, but the ball flew wide of the goal. 38 minutes into the match, Tremoceira's goal looked a bit too open when Fábio Anjos came free, but Eusébio Pinheiro reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. In the 41st minute, Sandro Sousa left the goalkeeper for dead before tapping the ball into the right side of the net. The Tremoceira fans were clearly happy with the effort and the scoreboard reflected the new score: 3-1. Sandro Sousa was extremely unlucky when he, in the 46th minute, took a shot that hit the right post and went out.

Delfim Fonseca came out of the goal in the 70th minute to try and stop a shot by Tremoceira's Sandro Sousa. But to his dismay, Sandro Sousa quickly shot the ball in between his legs and into the goal making it 4-1. Tremoceira's Eusébio Pinheiro proved his good apprehension of play when he, in the 74th minute of the match, managed to save Tremoceira from getting a goal against them. If Vicente Pedroso had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 76th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. After some careless play in the Carreira FC defense, Sandro Sousa kicked a shot that curved into the net to the right of Delfim Fonseca. The Carreira FC fans voiced their displeasure as they felt that Delfim Fonseca should have stopped the shot. Alexandre Delgado fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 87th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Delfim Fonseca having to interfere. 90 minutes into the game, Vicente Pedroso was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. Carreira FC's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave Tremoceira the free kick. After 90 played minutes Carreira FC got a freekick which was hit by Vicente Pedroso. In the 98th minute Tremoceira were awarded a corner. Sérgio Simões went to the cornerflag to take it. A nice corner shot did that Fernando Baptista got away a dangerous shot. Despite this Delfim Fonseca quite easily got ahold of the ball to make the save. Tremoceira were really happy, having secured the victory after a very even contest. They thanked the players of Carreira FC for a fine match.
