Spectators: 32 (Terracing: 25, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) The mood of the audience was pleasant when Durval Carreira made the kick off which started today's match. A collision led to Barrancosas getting a freekick after 11 minutes play. Durval Carreira hit a great ball. In the 16th minute the ball was on its way in behind UNIDOS-Á-SUPERBOCK's goalkeeper Caetano Nunes, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. Lázaro Moutinho kicked well hit freekick during the 18th minute of the match. Caetano Nunes acted impressively in front of the goal and made a superb save when he, in the 18th minute, took the ball on the long shot from Mauro Braga. Honorato Guarda fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 22nd minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Gregório Figueira having to interfere. In the 24th minute, Honorato Guarda ran past the defenders and hit a shot which went straight ahead into goal. Gregório Figueira was frozen by the shot and now it was 0-1. 31 minutes into the match, UNIDOS-Á-SUPERBOCK's goalkeeper Caetano Nunes had to clear away a ball on his right side after a cunning shot by Amado Noronha. Amado Noronha received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 43rd minute. Caetano Nunes tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Even after changing tactics the home team jogged off the field with a 0-1 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 Honorato Guarda stepped up to make the kick off in the second half. 52 minutes into the match, Eurico Borba notched a goal, 0-2, to the right of Barrancosas's Gregório Figueira. Gregório Figueira was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. When Durval Carreira came up free with the goalie in the 58th minute, the Barrancosas 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 Durval Carreira couldn't finish the play. 59 minutes into the match, Eurico Borba had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Gregório Figueira. Barrancosas's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Eurico Borba was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 0-3. The crowd rose to their feet as Honorato Guarda kicked a wonderful shot that went in to the left of a diving Gregório Figueira. That made the score 0-4 in the 67 minute of play. Caetano Nunes made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Amado Noronha in the 71st minute of play. In the 75th minute, Eurico Borba got an opportunity to score, but he didn't get a solid hit on the ball and ended up kicking it wide of the goal. Caetano Nunes took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Amado Noronha, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Durval Carreira kicked well hit freekick during the 80th minute of the match. Caetano Nunes showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Amado Noronha in the 85th minute of the match. Lázaro Moutinho's late challenge caught a Barrancosas's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Lázaro Moutinho helped the player get up and apologised. After a rather tough play, UNIDOS-Á-SUPERBOCK's Lázaro Moutinho got a free kick in the 85th minute. Caetano Nunes showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Amado Noronha, who was totally free with the ball in the 87th minute. Eurico Borba fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 96th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Gregório Figueira having to interfere. The UNIDOS-Á-SUPERBOCK supporters could be heard counting down the last seconds of the match. They errupted in celebration when the whistle blew, knowing UNIDOS-Á-SUPERBOCK would go home with victory in their luggage after a match that easily could have ended differently.
