Spectators: 32 (Terracing: 25, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) After 9 minutes, Luís Barros mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Dragões Espada FC and the Oscar CP players grew even worse after the yellow card. George Budac had several of the Oscar CP's defenders around him in the penalty area when he, after 16 minutes of play, received a pass and succeeded in some way to shoot a shot which went straight ahead into goal. This resulted in a 1-0 score and a disappointed Pedro Eiró as he didn't even see the shot coming. Pedro Eiró made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from George Budac in the 19th minute of play. Almiro Sacadura fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 24th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Basílio Abreu having to interfere. After a rather tough play, Dragões Espada FC's Eusébio Marques got a free kick in the 25th minute. When Pascoal Meira fell near the penalty area in the 26th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Oscar CP's protests and gave Pascoal Meira a yellow card for diving instead. Oscar CP's defense didn't have a chance, in the 28th minute, when Adolfo Sá scored to the left of an out of position Pedro Eiró, making the score, 2-0. In the 31st minute of the match Luís Barros shot from a long distance. The ball could have gone into the goal to the right of the goalkeeper, but Pedro Eiró showed his good shape when he easily got hold of the ball. Oscar CP's Viriato Patrício got a good chance for a goal in the 33rd minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. After a rather tough play, Dragões Espada FC's Eusébio Marques got a free kick in the 34th minute. Vivaldo Castro's late challenge caught a Dragões Espada FC's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Vivaldo Castro helped the player get up and apologised. The home fans were very happy to see their team leading 2-0 at half-time.

The wind increased when Vivaldo Castro made the kick off in the second half. Pedro Eiró took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from George Budac, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Pedro Eiró stood for a superb save when he managed to get hold of George Budac's shot from short distance in the 63rd minute. In the 66th minute George Budac shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Pedro Eiró saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Pedro Eiró took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from João Cabral, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. After 98 played minutes Dragões Espada FC got a freekick which was hit by Luís Barros. Dragões Espada FC's fans were exulted and cheered after their team won in a match that could easily have gone the other way.
