Spectators: 32 (Terracing: 25, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when André Pedroso took the kick off in the first half of the match.

Rogério Moura breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. Vítor Barbosa was really disappointed when he shot the ball just outside the right post instead of scoring a goal in the 23rd minute.

After having played for 25 minutes, Oliveira Ferreira managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal.
