Rodizio FC's supporters rose to their feet, but David Mansilha was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Mário Rios breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. Gabriel Vasques was extremely unlucky when he, in the 36th minute, took a shot that hit the right post and went out. David Mansilha scored 2-0 in the 36th match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Mário Rios, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot.

Santiago Rodrigues fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 55th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Jorge Linhares having to interfere. An unexpected shot in the 57th minute by Amado Baía got the crowd on their feet, but to their dismay it went out on the left side. With a little luck, Rodizio FC's Jorge Linhares got control of the ball when Amado Baía tried to sneak it across the goal line. In the 59th play minute Amado Baía came free and shot an unsuspected shot which went into goal from the right pole behind a surprised Jorge Linhares. 2-1. 67 minutes into the match, Gabriel Vasques notched a goal, 3-1, to the right of Murgeira FC's Mário Rios. Mário Rios was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it.
