Estadio Bagaco
Spectators: 32 (Terracing: 25, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Armando Carneiro kicked off to start the match. In the 4th minute the ball was on its way in behind Bagaco FC's goalkeeper Afonso Lopes, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. Hélder Araújo made an important save on a dangerous shot by Rafael Paredes in the 8th minute. With a little luck, SC Montazel's Hélder Araújo got control of the ball when Rafael Paredes tried to sneak it across the goal line. Luís Brás's late challenge caught a Bagaco FC's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Luís Brás helped the player get up and apologised. Rafael Paredes sent away a hard shot on goal in the 12th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. 17 minutes into the game, Bagaco FC's António Barbosa nearly tore a hole in the net with a booming shot. Hélder Araújo made a valiant effort, but he could not reach the ball in time, 1-0. Rafael Paredes received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 21st minute.

Afonso Lopes came out of the goal in the 39th minute to try and stop a shot by SC Montazel's Abel Pedroso. But to his dismay, Abel Pedroso quickly shot the ball in between his legs and into the goal making it 2-1. 45 minutes into the match, António Barbosa had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Hélder Araújo. SC Montazel's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that António Barbosa was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 3-1. Af the end of the first half the score was 3-1. The first half had gone as expected for the home team.

The wind increased when Gaspar Vaz made the kick off in the second half. Rafael Paredes sent away a hard shot on goal in the 53rd minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Armando Carneiro received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 56th minute. Afonso Lopes tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. With an all-out effort, SC Montazel's Afonso Lopes threw himself towards the right post 58 minutes into the match and grabbed hold of the ball from Armando Carneiro, which otherwise would have been placed in the net. After a defensive mix-up in SC Montazel's zone, António Barbosa stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Hélder Araújo came out of the goal and António Barbosa tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. The supporters of Bagaco FC booed when SC Montazel was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 64 match minutes in a wonderful position. Luís Brás didn't get a good kick on the ball. Abel Pedroso received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 67th minute. Afonso Lopes tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. In the 74th minute Gaspar Vaz shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Hélder Araújo saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. 76 minutes into the game, Bagaco FC's Gaspar Vaz nearly tore a hole in the net with a booming shot.

An unexpected shot in the 94th minute by Abel Pedroso got the crowd on their feet, but to their dismay it went out on the left side. 96 minutes into the match, SC Montazel's Abel Pedroso sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that Afonso Lopes narrowly saved just below the crossbar. There were very few away supporters still in the ground by the end of the match. Most of them had left early, disgusted by the way their team had been torn apart. Bagaco FC fully deserved thier win.
