In the 5thth minute of the game Américo Nunes who was perfectly placed tried to make a shot on goal, but Ladario's Ricardo Queirós was lucky and managed to grab hold of the ball. If Américo Nunes had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 7th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead.

Raul Matos hit a great freekick 12 minutes into the match.

Rui Lopes kicked well hit freekick during the 13th minute of the match. 14 minutes into the match, Sipote FC's goal looked a bit too open when Rui Abreu came free, but Inácio Lima reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. After having played for 17 minutes, Rui Abreu managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Ladario's supporters crossed their fingers, but Rui Abreu was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. Sipote FC's Inácio Lima proved his good apprehension of play when he, in the 18th minute of the match, managed to save Sipote FC from getting a goal against them. Rui Abreu fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 23rd minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Inácio Lima having to interfere. Viriato Sá sent away a hard shot on goal in the 25th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. If Rui Abreu had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 26th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. In the 36th minute, Américo Nunes 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. Rui Abreu fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 40th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Inácio Lima having to interfere. Rui Abreu received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 43rd minute. Inácio Lima tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Alfredo Andrade hit a great freekick 44 minutes into the match. The score stood at 0-0 when the half time whistle went. Both sets of players seemed reasonably pleased with how the match was going.

The hometeam waved at the audience when it was time for Rui Abreu to strike the kick off in the second half. Ricardo Queirós took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Américo Nunes, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. The audience was convinced that Viriato Sá's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Inácio Lima was relentless in the 71st minute of the game. Américo Nunes recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 72nd minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. 78 minutes into the match, Gabriel Matos had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Ricardo Queirós. Ladario's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Gabriel Matos was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 0-1. In the 82nd minute, Cândido Pedroso hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. In the 98th minute of the match, Gabriel Matos got a very nice opportunity to score, but Ricardo Queirós was well-placed and pushed the ball away from the goal at the left post. Sipote FC were delighted with the way they had won the match. They had held their defensive line well and made the most of their chances, to claim a victory over Ladario's much stronger midfield.
