Estadio Rosmaninhal
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. Rodrigo Rocha started the match with the kick off. Rodrigo Rocha blasted a shot towards the goal in the 5th minute, but the shot hit the top of the crossbar and went out without Hélder Lisboa having to make a save. Hélder Lisboa showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Rodrigo Rocha, who was totally free with the ball in the 7th minute. Hélder Lisboa took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Sebastião Moreira, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. After 9 played minutes Rosmaninhal got a freekick which was hit by Sandro Antunes. Sebastião Moreira received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 11th minute. Hélder Lisboa tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. The supporters of Rosmaninhal booed when SC Desejosa was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 14 match minutes in a wonderful position. Armindo Ribeiro didn't get a good kick on the ball. In the 27th minute Jaime Veiga shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Rodrigo Andrade saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. With a couple of smart ball manuevers Sebastião Moreira in the 28th managed to get into a good position. With a left leg Hélder Lisboa saved Rosmaninhal from getting behind. Pedro Torres who was well placed in front of the goal fired away a dangerous shot that in the 36thth minute tested the skills of Rodrigo Andrade when he managed to save the team from getting behind. If Pedro Torres had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 37th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Jaime Veiga struck a weak shot in the 40th minute. Rodrigo Andrade didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Rosmaninhal. Jaime Veiga fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 45th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Rodrigo Andrade having to interfere.

Sebastião Moreira fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 55th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Hélder Lisboa having to interfere. An unexpectedly hard shot by Pedro Torres in the 59th minute of play forced SC Desejosa's goalkeeper Rodrigo Andrade to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. In the 60th minute the ball was on its way in behind SC Desejosa's goalkeeper Rodrigo Andrade, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. Rodrigo Rocha fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 63rd minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Hélder Lisboa having to interfere. Rodrigo Andrade took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Jaime Veiga, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side.

Jorge Setúbal took a chance and fired a shot far from the goal in the 97th minute, but it turned out to be a dangerous situation for Rodrigo Andrade. SC Desejosa's goalkeeper really had to stretch himself to stop the ball from crossing the goal line. The away crowd were delighted with the way their team had played and cheered loudly when the final whistle sounded. SC Desejosa walked away with the win, even though the match was close until the end.
