Spectators: 32 (Terracing: 25, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) Pedro Cunha made the kick off and thus started the match. After some fancy dribbling in the 7th minute, Pedro Cunha managed to get in a good position for a shot. Alcofra's supporters rose to their feet, but Pedro Cunha was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. João Trindade breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. Eduardo Marques received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 9th minute. João Trindade tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Pedro Cunha fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 10th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without João Trindade having to interfere. In the 13th minute Pedro Cunha shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but João Trindade saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. When Vicente Brás fell near the penalty area in the 14th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Monfebres FC's protests and gave Vicente Brás a yellow card for diving instead. In the 14th minute, Vicente Brás hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. In the 20th play minute Adelino Garcia came free and shot an unsuspected shot which went into goal from the right pole behind a surprised Cândido Guerreiro. 1-1. In the 27th minute the ball was on its way in behind Monfebres FC's goalkeeper João Trindade, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. João Trindade showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Eduardo Marques in the 29th minute of the match. The audience thought a goal was coming when Adelino Garcia got free with Cândido Guerreiro in the 31st minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort. Eduardo Marques fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 39th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without João Trindade having to interfere. In the 45th minute, Eduardo Marques got an opportunity to score, but he didn't get a solid hit on the ball and ended up kicking it wide of the goal. Pedro Cunha sent away a hard shot on goal in the 47th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. After a very even first half the match was still tied. The players went to their respective dressing rooms to discuss the tactics for the second half.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell José Amorim to make the kick off. Pedro Cunha received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 55th minute. João Trindade tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Eduardo Marques recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 60th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. Alcofra's Pedro Cunha got a good chance for a goal in the 62nd minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. In the 65th minute, Alcofra's Augusto Leite dribbled the ball into the box and hit a shot with the outside of his foot, sending the keeper the wrong way. 1-2. In the 69th minute Pedro Cunha shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but João Trindade saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. An unexpectedly hard shot by José Amorim in the 82nd minute of play forced Alcofra's goalkeeper Cândido Guerreiro to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Monfebres FC's attacker deliberately struck the ball against an opponent to win a corner for his team. The corner was taken by Jorge Moura in the 84th minute. 88 minutes into the match, Alcofra's goal looked a bit too open when José Amorim came free, but Cândido Guerreiro reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. After 91 played minutes Alcofra got a freekick which was hit by Pedro Costa. The Monfebres FC fans had already started to leave before the final whistle blew. Alcofra were clearly better and deserved to take the win.
