Spectators: 33 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Alexandre Baptista started the match with the kick off. After 4 played minutes Pasteleiro got a freekick which was hit by Alexandre Cunha. Abraveia FC's Emílio Figueiredo couldn't find anyone to pass the ball to, so he shot a long shot towards the goal in the 5th minute. The shot went wide which resulted in a goal kick for Pasteleiro. In the 7th minute, Sandro Domingues hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. A collision led to Pasteleiro getting a freekick after 11 minutes play.

Lourenço Gaspar hit a great freekick 13 minutes into the match. After 20 minutes of play, Pasteleiro's Alexandre Baptista made it 2-0 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net.

Pasteleiro's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Joaquim Anjos was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 3-2.

But to his dismay, Tomás Gueifão quickly shot the ball in between his legs and into the goal making it 4-3.

After some fancy dribbling in the 73rd minute, Alexandre Baptista managed to get in a good position for a shot. Pasteleiro's supporters rose to their feet, but Alexandre Baptista was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Oliveira Bessa breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. When Joaquim Anjos came up free with the goalie in the 75th minute, the Abraveia FC fans jumped to their feet. But the shot missed the goal by a fraction of an inch, and the fans sat back down disappointed that Joaquim Anjos couldn't finish the play. Pasteleiro's Alexandre Baptista got a good chance for a goal in the 78th minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. Alexandre Baptista received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 81st minute.

Alexandre Baptista scored 5-3 in the 89th match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Oliveira Bessa, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. After 92 minutes, Diamantino Mota mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Abraveia FC and the Pasteleiro players grew even worse after the yellow card. After 92 played minutes Abraveia FC got a freekick which was hit by Diamantino Mota. Pasteleiro's fans were exulted and cheered after their team won in a match that could easily have gone the other way.
