The crowd had been anticipating this game for weeks and the excitement in the stadium was easily visible. 7 minutes into the match, Eliseu Domingos notched a goal, 0-1, to the right of VILLA AVC's Herberto Caeiro. Herberto Caeiro was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. 11 minutes into the game, Aparício Brandão was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. VILLA AVC's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave Azeiteiros the free kick. After 10 minutes of play, the referee blew the whistle. It was a penalty for VILLA AVC! 19 minutes into the game, Aldo Maciel cracked a shot to the right of the goalkeeper, 0-3. Herberto Caeiro was not in position, and could only watch the ball fly in. Eliseu Domingos sent away a hard shot on goal in the 28th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. The Azeiteiros fans' excitement grew in the 33rd match minute when Azeiteiros's Eliseu Domingos looked to have a clear shot with the ball near the goal.

Bernardo Correia made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Reinaldo Alves in the 46th minute of play. Even after changing tactics the home team jogged off the field with a 0-4 deficit. They would have to work harder if they wanted to turn things around in the second half.

The wind increased when Eliseu Domingos made the kick off in the second half. An unexpectedly hard shot by Eliseu Domingos in the 55th minute of play forced VILLA AVC's goalkeeper Herberto Caeiro to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. After 56 minutes, Guilherme Andrade mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the VILLA AVC and the Azeiteiros players grew even worse after the yellow card. Guilherme Andrade kicked well hit freekick during the 56th minute of the match. Teodoro Cruz might have been able to make a better finish in the 60th minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Bernardo Correia. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Teodoro Cruz ran back to his position shaking his head. The referee was alert and spotted a serious foul by Reinaldo Alves during the 62nd minute. The player immediately received a yellow card.
