Estadio Alijo
Spectators: 32 (Terracing: 25, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) The sun was shining, the grass was green and the audience cheered when Xavier Viegas got the match started through his kick off. After some fancy dribbling in the 3rd minute, Fernando Brito managed to get in a good position for a shot. F.C Real Madrid's supporters rose to their feet, but Fernando Brito was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Emílio Viana breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. In the 5th minute, António Amaro hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Sandro Magalhães recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 8th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. After having played for 12 minutes, Sandro Magalhães managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. F.C Real Madrid's supporters crossed their fingers, but Sandro Magalhães was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. An unexpectedly hard shot by Sandro Magalhães in the 15th minute of play forced SC Alijo's goalkeeper Emílio Viana to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Jorge Nogueira received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 24th minute. Cristiano Rosado tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Jorge Nogueira could have scored with his fast shot on goal in the 26th minute of the match, but Cristiano Rosado made a huge save. Cristiano Rosado took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Xavier Viegas, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Cristiano Rosado came out of the goal in the 36th minute to try and stop a shot by SC Alijo's Jorge Nogueira. But to his dismay, Jorge Nogueira quickly shot the ball in between his legs and into the goal making it 1-0. Sandro Magalhães scored 1-1 in the 40th match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Emílio Viana, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. 46 minutes into the match, F.C Real Madrid's goal looked a bit too open when Xavier Viegas came free, but Cristiano Rosado reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. The first half was very even, with the score at 1-1 when the whistle went for half-time. The players welcomed the break and quickly retired to the dressing rooms.

The wind increased when Sandro Magalhães made the kick off in the second half. In the 57th minute Jorge Nogueira shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Cristiano Rosado saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Emílio Viana showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Sandro Magalhães in the 59th minute of the match. In the 62nd minute, Sandro Magalhães got an opportunity to score, but he didn't get a solid hit on the ball and ended up kicking it wide of the goal. SC Alijo's goalkeeper couldn't reach when Sandro Magalhães 64 minutes into the game got a good kick on the ball which found its way into goal just inside left pole. 1-2. A collision led to F.C Real Madrid getting a freekick after 67 minutes play. Fernando Brito hit a great ball. Cristiano Rosado took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Jorge Nogueira, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Emílio Viana was out of position in the 81 minute of play, and António Amaro capitalized on the mistake with a soft shot into the goal. António Amaro really showed his touch with that goal: 1-3. Sandro Magalhães sent away a hard shot on goal in the 87th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. After 89 played minutes, F.C Real Madrid's Paulo Leiria shot from a long distance, and at first it looked like the ball was going into the goal, but the goalkeeper Emílio Viana 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 F.C Real Madrid reached it. SC Alijo's Emílio Viana played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Sandro Magalhães in the 90th minute of play. After having played for 93 minutes, Sandro Magalhães managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. F.C Real Madrid's supporters crossed their fingers, but Sandro Magalhães was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. An unexpectedly hard shot by Xavier Viegas in the 96th minute of play forced F.C Real Madrid's goalkeeper Cristiano Rosado to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. F.C Real Madrid played a much better game than SC Alijo and deserved their victory. The SC Alijo players were clearly disappointed as they left the ground.
