Spectators: 32 (Terracing: 25, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) The mood of the audience was pleasant when Lisandro Brás made the kick off which started today's match. Alfredo Brito scored 0-1 in the 4th match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Aquilino Lameiras, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. In the 8th minute, Artur Nascimento sent off a long shot on goal, but the shot was nowhere near the goal and Ventuzelo's Aquilino Lameiras didn't even have to move. If Gaspar Pinto had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 11th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead.

Alfredo Brito fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 38th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Aquilino Lameiras having to interfere. After 42 minutes of play, Ventuzelo's Gusmão Cabral made it 1-2 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Rui Amorim was left in no man's land by his defense there! The crowd rose to their feet as Lisandro Brás kicked a wonderful shot that went in to the left of a diving Rui Amorim. That made the score 2-2 in the 46 minute of play. After a very even first half the match was still tied.
