Estadio Anhoes
Spectators: 32 (Terracing: 25, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) Vicente Delgado showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Jorge Marques, who was totally free with the ball in the 9th minute. Vicente Delgado made an important save on a dangerous shot by Miguel Pinho in the 10th minute. When Basílio Marques came up free with the goalie in the 18th minute, the Carraptinha 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 Basílio Marques couldn't finish the play. André Paiva made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Basílio Marques in the 20th minute of play. Jorge Marques recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 24th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. Miguel Pinho sent away a hard shot on goal in the 28th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. After 29 minutes, Luís Domingues mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Carraptinha and the Anhoes FC players grew even worse after the yellow card. Gonçalo Baptista recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 32nd minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. Basílio Marques fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 38th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without André Paiva having to interfere. After 39 minutes, Fernando Andrade mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Anhoes FC and the Carraptinha players grew even worse after the yellow card. Fernando Andrade hit a great freekick 39 minutes into the match.

The wind increased when Basílio Marques made the kick off in the second half. When Miguel Pinho came up free with the goalie in the 54th minute, the Anhoes 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 Miguel Pinho couldn't finish the play. Luís Domingues was shown his second yellow card after 56 minutes, following a rather ugly tackle on opponent. That was the end of his participation in the match. After 57 played minutes Carraptinha got a freekick which was hit by Luís Domingues. A hard and well directed shot from Xavier Magalhães led 58 minutes into the game to a goal after the ball had bounced deceptively just in front of the goal. Carraptinha's Vicente Delgado became a little unsure and couldn't grip the ball before it was over the goalline. Thus it was 2-0. After having played for 61 minutes, Gonçalo Baptista managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Carraptinha's supporters crossed their fingers, but Gonçalo Baptista was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. After a defensive mix-up in Anhoes FC's zone, Gonçalo Baptista stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. André Paiva came out of the goal and Gonçalo Baptista tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. The supporters of Anhoes FC booed when Carraptinha was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 70 match minutes in a wonderful position. Bento Guarda didn't get a good kick on the ball. Xavier Magalhães was probably a little too eager to shoot when he, in the 70th played minute, shot the ball from way out. The shot was hard, but the ball flew wide of the goal. Jorge Marques struck a weak shot in the 73rd minute. Vicente Delgado didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Anhoes FC. Jorge Marques might have been able to make a better finish in the 75th minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Vicente Delgado. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Jorge Marques ran back to his position shaking his head. In the 78th minute the ball was on its way in behind Carraptinha's goalkeeper Vicente Delgado, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. Miguel Pinho fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 79th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Vicente Delgado having to interfere. If Gonçalo Baptista had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 93rd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. After some fancy dribbling in the 95th minute, Jorge Marques managed to get in a good position for a shot. Anhoes FC's supporters rose to their feet, but Jorge Marques was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Vicente Delgado breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. If Jorge Marques had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 99th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. The crowd rose to their feet and cheered when the referee blew the final whistle. Anhoes FC had won after a very even match.
