Nabainhos
Spectators: 32 (Terracing: 25, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Afonso Gaspar kicked off to start the match. Gonçalo Torres who was well placed in front of the goal fired away a dangerous shot that in the 9thth minute tested the skills of Mário Festas when he managed to save the team from getting behind. Severino Caeiro kicked well hit freekick during the 11th minute of the match. If Afonso Gaspar had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 14th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Carlos Coimbra showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Raul Barros, who was totally free with the ball in the 18th minute. After 19 played minutes Barrocas FC got a freekick which was hit by Jordão Sobral. Afonso Gaspar recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 24th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. In the 28th minute, Raul Barros left the goalkeeper for dead before tapping the ball into the right side of the net. The Barrocas FC fans were clearly happy with the effort and the scoreboard reflected the new score: 0-1. Nabainhos FC's Afonso Gaspar was standing unmarked in front of the goal when he, in the 36th play minute, got the ball and easily drilled it into the goal. Carlos Coimbra showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Jordão Sobral in the 45th minute of the match. 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 hometeam waved at the audience when it was time for Jordão Sobral to strike the kick off in the second half. 54 minutes into the game, Afonso Gaspar cracked a shot to the right of the goalkeeper, 2-1. Mário Festas was not in position, and could only watch the ball fly in. Jerónimo Domingos fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 70th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Carlos Coimbra having to interfere. Gonçalo Torres sent away a hard shot on goal in the 73rd minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. In the 74th minute Gonçalo Torres shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Mário Festas saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. 76 minutes into the match, Nabainhos FC's goal looked a bit too open when Jordão Sobral came free, but Carlos Coimbra reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. After having played for 79 minutes, Afonso Gaspar managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Nabainhos FC's supporters crossed their fingers, but Afonso Gaspar was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. 82 minutes into the match, Barrocas FC's Raul Barros sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that Carlos Coimbra narrowly saved just below the crossbar. Gonçalo Torres fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 86th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Mário Festas having to interfere. Afonso Gaspar's shot was meant for the net just under the crossbar, but Mário Festas read the situation well and was quickly in position to make a wonderful save in the 89th minute of play. Barrocas FC's Mário Festas played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Gonçalo Torres in the 90th minute of play. Severino Caeiro kicked well hit freekick during the 95th minute of the match. Alfredo Sá took a chance and fired a shot far from the goal in the 97th minute, but it turned out to be a dangerous situation for Mário Festas. Barrocas FC's goalkeeper really had to stretch himself to stop the ball from crossing the goal line. Barrocas FC's players left the field with heads hung low after losing a match that had been finely balanced throughout.
