Spectators: 32 (Terracing: 25, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play.

Ricardo Azevedo sent away a hard shot on goal in the 22nd minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance.

Celas's defense was at fault, and the scoreboard reflected the new score, 2-1. In the 36th minute of the match Rogério Jesus sent off a long shot with destination to the right of the goalkeeper, but David Morais skillfully saved the ball.

David Morais didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Celas. No-one was surprised that the home team were leading 2-1 at half-time.

When Valério Miguéis came up free with the goalie in the 60th minute, the SC Cadaval fans jumped to their feet.
