Spectators: 32 (Terracing: 25, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Bruno Bessa kicked off to start the match. Pedro Guerreiro made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Adriano Leitão in the 3rd minute of play. Simão Amorim fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 4th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Pedro Guerreiro having to interfere. In the 7th minute Adriano Leitão shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Pedro Guerreiro saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. An unexpectedly hard shot by Adriano Leitão in the 16th minute of play forced Descampado's goalkeeper Pedro Guerreiro to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. When Miguel Cabral fell near the penalty area in the 19th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Descampado's protests and gave Miguel Cabral a yellow card for diving instead. Miguel Cabral hit a great freekick 19 minutes into the match. Miguel Cabral was shown his second yellow card after 21 minutes, following a rather ugly tackle on opponent. That was the end of his participation in the match. The supporters of Jou booed when Descampado was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 22 match minutes in a wonderful position. Miguel Cabral didn't get a good kick on the ball. Silvano Fernandes took a chance and fired a shot far from the goal in the 23rd minute, but it turned out to be a dangerous situation for Pedro Guerreiro. Descampado's goalkeeper really had to stretch himself to stop the ball from crossing the goal line. After a defensive mix-up in Jou's zone, Cândido Gaspar stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Samuel Póvoas came out of the goal and Cândido Gaspar tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. In the 43rd minute of the match, Cândido Gaspar got a very nice opportunity to score, but Samuel Póvoas was well-placed and pushed the ball away from the goal at the left post. Cândido Gaspar received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 45th minute. Samuel Póvoas tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. The fans had the chance to grab some refreshments as the whistle went for half-time. The score stood at 0-0 after a close first half.

When the second half was about to start, both teams quickly lined up and Adriano Leitão made a kick off. When Valter Taborda fell near the penalty area in the 55th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Jou's protests and gave Valter Taborda a yellow card for diving instead. Valter Taborda kicked well hit freekick during the 55th minute of the match. Cândido Gaspar received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 57th minute. Samuel Póvoas tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. In the 62nd minute, Adriano Leitão fired away a shot on goal. He put a little to much spin on the ball and sent it just wide of the right post. 64 minutes into the match, Descampado's Cândido Gaspar sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that Samuel Póvoas narrowly saved just below the crossbar. If Adriano Leitão had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 68th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead.

In the 77th minute, Adriano Leitão 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. After some fancy dribbling in the 79th minute, Adriano Leitão managed to get in a good position for a shot. Jou's supporters rose to their feet, but Adriano Leitão was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Pedro Guerreiro breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. Adriano Leitão sent away a hard shot on goal in the 82nd minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. The referee was alert and spotted a serious foul by Abel Gaspar during the 88th minute. The player immediately received a yellow card. After a rather tough play, Descampado's Abel Gaspar got a free kick in the 89th minute. Simão Amorim came free with the goalkeeper in the 91st minute of the match, and shot straight on target. The shot was a little too simple and Pedro Guerreiro could save by the left post. Neither set of supporters seemed pleased with the draw, but both teams had played equally well today.
