With a little luck, Limaos's Vítor Matos got control of the ball when Adalberto Pegado tried to sneak it across the goal line.

With his leg Joaquim Ruas managed to avoid a goal in the 85thth minute, when Limaos's Emílio Pinheiro fired away a shot with a lot of spin towards his right hand side. When Emílio Pinheiro came up free with the goalie in the 87th minute, the Limaos fans jumped to their feet. But the shot missed the goal by a fraction of an inch, and the fans sat back down disappointed that Emílio Pinheiro couldn't finish the play. Vítor Matos showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Adalberto Pegado, who was totally free with the ball in the 93rd minute. The away crowd were delighted with the way their team had played and cheered loudly when the final whistle sounded. Limaos walked away with the win, even though the match was close until the end.
