Viriato Assunção came out of the goal and Américo Amaral tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play.

When Joaquim Trindade came up free with the goalie in the 92nd minute, the Sendas 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 Joaquim Trindade couldn't finish the play. Cristóvão Carvalho showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Eusébio Leite, who was totally free with the ball in the 96th minute. 98 minutes into the match, Sendas FC's goal looked a bit too open when Daniel Pinho came free, but Viriato Assunção reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line.
