Spectators: 32 (Terracing: 25, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) The mood of the audience was pleasant when António Aleixo made the kick off which started today's match. In the 4th minute Alexandre Santana shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Rui Esteves saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. 9 minutes into the match, Slpiscorio's goalkeeper Altino Ferraz had to clear away a ball on his right side after a cunning shot by Gonçalo Faria. António Antunes hit a great freekick 13 minutes into the match. Rui Esteves showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Ivo Malta, who was totally free with the ball in the 16th minute. Ivo Malta received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 17th minute. Rui Esteves tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. António Aleixo recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 20th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. After a defensive mix-up in SC Falca's zone, Alexandre Santana stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Rui Esteves came out of the goal and Alexandre Santana tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. If Gonçalo Faria had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 26th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Rui Esteves took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Alexandre Santana, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Alexandre Santana received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 31st minute. Rui Esteves tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. After some fancy dribbling in the 36th minute, Alexandre Santana managed to get in a good position for a shot. Slpiscorio's supporters rose to their feet, but Alexandre Santana was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Rui Esteves breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. If Gonçalo Faria had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 38th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Altino Ferraz made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from António Aleixo in the 40th minute of play. 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 players of the away team seemed most concentrated when Ivo Malta stepped up to make the kick off in the second half. António Aleixo fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 51st minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Altino Ferraz having to interfere.

In the 62nd minute, Ivo Malta fired away a killer shot towards the goal that, to the delight of Rui Esteves, passed just outside the right post. Altino Ferraz showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from António Aleixo in the 66th minute of the match. António Antunes sent away a hard shot on goal in the 70th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance.

António Aleixo's shot was meant for the net just under the crossbar, but Altino Ferraz read the situation well and was quickly in position to make a wonderful save in the 74th minute of play. Alexandre Santana scored 0-1 in the 79th match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Rui Esteves, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. Gonçalo Faria recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 83rd minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. In the 84th match minute, Slpiscorio was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Manuel Alvarenga to maneuver through the defense.
