Estadio Ariques
Spectators: 32 (Terracing: 25, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) The sun was shining, the grass was green and the audience cheered when David Ramos got the match started through his kick off. 8 minutes into the match, Carvalhicas FC's goal looked a bit too open when Honorato Aleixo came free, but Paulo Leão reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. David Ramos might have been able to make a better finish in the 9th minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Lisandro Baldaia. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. David Ramos ran back to his position shaking his head. When David Ramos came up free with the goalie in the 13th minute, the Carvalhicas FC 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 David Ramos couldn't finish the play. David Ramos sent away a hard shot on goal in the 17th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. 23 minutes into the game, Amílcar Delgado was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. Carvalhicas FC's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave Ariques FC the free kick. In the 23rd match minute, Carvalhicas FC was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Amílcar Delgado to maneuver through the defense.

Rogério Macedo scored 1-1 in the 32nd match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Lisandro Baldaia, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. Lisandro Baldaia took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from David Ramos, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. In the 39th minute, Amílcar Delgado hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. After a defensive mix-up in Ariques FC's zone, Bernardo Guarda stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Lisandro Baldaia came out of the goal and Bernardo Guarda tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. 43 minutes into the match, Rogério Macedo had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Lisandro Baldaia. Ariques FC's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Rogério Macedo was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 1-2.

When the second half was about to start, both teams quickly lined up and Honorato Aleixo made a kick off. The audience was convinced that Homero Salgueiro's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Paulo Leão was relentless in the 53rd minute of the game. Carvalhicas FC's Paulo Leão played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Honorato Aleixo in the 56th minute of play. Paulo Leão came out of the goal in the 57th minute to try and stop a shot by Ariques FC's Homero Salgueiro. But to his dismay, Homero Salgueiro quickly shot the ball in between his legs and into the goal making it 2-2. 62 minutes into the match, Ariques FC's Honorato Aleixo sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that Paulo Leão narrowly saved just below the crossbar. If Rogério Macedo had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 63rd minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. Lisandro Baldaia made an important save on a dangerous shot by Rogério Macedo in the 65th minute. Rogério Macedo received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 68th minute. Lisandro Baldaia tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere.

After 74 played minutes, Ariques FC's Joel Azevedo shot from a long distance, and at first it looked like the ball was going into the goal, but the goalkeeper Paulo Leão came through and got his fingers on the ball before it flew over the goal line. He then quickly gripped the ball tighter before the forwards in Ariques FC reached it. Honorato Aleixo fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 77th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Paulo Leão having to interfere.

Rogério Macedo fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 89th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Lisandro Baldaia having to interfere.
