After 33 played minutes, SC Recoutas's Alexandre Fontes shot from a long distance, and at first it looked like the ball was going into the goal, but the goalkeeper Humberto Soares came through and got his fingers on the ball before it flew over the goal line. He then quickly gripped the ball tighter before the forwards in SC Recoutas reached it. Humberto Soares took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Fernando Santos, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Lúcio Nascimento could have scored with his fast shot on goal in the 37th minute of the match, but Jorge Anjos made a huge save.

Albertino Moutinho ran back to his position shaking his head. With a little luck, SC Recoutas's Jorge Anjos got control of the ball when Lúcio Nascimento tried to sneak it across the goal line.

Jorge Anjos tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. 56 minutes into the match, SC Recoutas's goal looked a bit too open when Lúcio Nascimento came free, but Jorge Anjos reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. In the 59th minute the ball was on its way in behind SC Caminho's goalkeeper Humberto Soares, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. 2-1 became the score in the 62nd minute when Fernando Santos elegantly shot the ball into goal just under the crossbar. In the 68th of the match, Fernando Santos tried to place the ball in the upper right corner, but Humberto Soares got in the way and made a wonderful save.
