After 34 played minutes, Alfarela FC's Hermano Caneira shot from a long distance, and at first it looked like the ball was going into the goal, but the goalkeeper Gaspar Jesus came through and got his fingers on the ball before it flew over the goal line. He then quickly gripped the ball tighter before the forwards in Alfarela FC reached it. In the 35th minute, Gil Miranda hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Caio Vilar fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 36th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Gaspar Jesus having to interfere.

When the second half was about to start, both teams quickly lined up and Caio Vilar made a kick off. In the 57th minute the ball was on its way in behind Alfarela FC's goalkeeper João Fontoura, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. 61 minutes into the match, Fazamoes FC's goal looked a bit too open when Caio Vilar came free, but Gaspar Jesus reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line.
