Estadio Ninja W.
Spectators: 32 (Terracing: 25, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) The mood of the audience was pleasant when Marcos Aragão made the kick off which started today's match. If Pedro Pedroso had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 4th minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. 8 minutes into the match, António Monteiro notched a goal, 0-1, to the right of Ninja Warriors's Hélio Braga. Hélio Braga was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. After 15 minutes, Henrique Assis mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Borússia Doutro Mundo and the Ninja Warriors players grew even worse after the yellow card. After a rather tough play, Borússia Doutro Mundo's Henrique Assis got a free kick in the 15th minute. Pedro Pedroso fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 21st minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Hélio Braga having to interfere.

Pedro Pedroso sent away a hard shot on goal in the 26th minute, but the ball hit the crossbar and went out. A very good chance for a goal. Hélio Braga took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from António Reis, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. António Monteiro sent away a hard shot on goal in the 30th minute, but the ball hit the crossbar and went out. A very good chance for a goal. After having played for 32 minutes, António Monteiro managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Borússia Doutro Mundo's supporters crossed their fingers, but António Monteiro was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. With a little luck, Borússia Doutro Mundo's Cláudio Assunção got control of the ball when Alexandre Nunes tried to sneak it across the goal line. Luís Costa hit a great freekick 37 minutes into the match. After some fancy dribbling in the 40th minute, Alexandre Nunes managed to get in a good position for a shot. Ninja Warriors's supporters rose to their feet, but Alexandre Nunes was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Cláudio Assunção breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. António Monteiro fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 44th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Hélio Braga having to interfere. 45 minutes into the match, Ninja Warriors's goal looked a bit too open when Pedro Pedroso came free, but Hélio Braga reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Hélio Braga took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Pedro Pedroso, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Disappointed in the 0-1 score, the home team went to the dressing room to adjust tactics for the second half.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell António Monteiro to make the kick off. If Marcos Aragão had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 62nd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead.

Ninja Warriors's Hélio Braga played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by António Monteiro in the 72nd minute of play. When Danilo Ventura fell near the penalty area in the 75th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Ninja Warriors's protests and gave Danilo Ventura a yellow card for diving instead. After 75 played minutes Ninja Warriors got a freekick which was hit by Danilo Ventura. Pedro Pedroso who was well placed in front of the goal fired away a dangerous shot that in the 77thth minute tested the skills of Hélio Braga when he managed to save the team from getting behind. Pedro Pedroso fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 80th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Hélio Braga having to interfere. If Alexandre Nunes had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 84th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. In the 86th minute the ball was on its way in behind Borússia Doutro Mundo's goalkeeper Cláudio Assunção, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar.

Henrique Assis ran back to his position shaking his head. After having played for 95 minutes, Alexandre Nunes managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal.
