Spectators: 32 (Terracing: 25, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Ricardo Leiria kicked off to start the match.

Eusébio Setúbal helped the player get up and apologised. In the 4th minute the ball was on its way in behind Jagardo's goalkeeper Emanuel Oliveira, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. 9 minutes had been played when some careless play by Jagardo's defense caused the ball to cross the line for a corner.

After some fancy dribbling in the 39th minute, André Paredes managed to get in a good position for a shot. Tojeira's supporters rose to their feet, but André Paredes was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Emanuel Oliveira breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. After having played for 41 minutes, Bento Porto managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Tojeira's supporters crossed their fingers, but Bento Porto 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 Tojeira's zone, Armindo Branco stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Armindo Pinto came out of the goal and Armindo Branco tried to chip the ball over his head.
