António Gonçalves took the ball and in the 45 minute, shot a rapid shot to the right of a surprised Santiago Borba. Santiago Borba dived to the right, and did manage to get a hand on the shot, but it still went into the right corner making it 1-2. Even after changing tactics the home team jogged off the field with a 1-2 deficit. They would have to work harder if they wanted to turn things around in the second half.

The players of the away team seemed most concentrated when Hélder Palha stepped up to make the kick off in the second half. SC Afurada's António Gonçalves was standing unmarked in front of the goal when he, in the 56th play minute, got the ball and easily drilled it into the goal.
