Estadio Sabaris
Spectators: 32 (Terracing: 25, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Jorge Pires started the match with the kick off. Afonso Setúbal hit a great freekick 2 minutes into the match. Basílio Brito took a chance and fired a shot far from the goal in the 8th minute, but it turned out to be a dangerous situation for António Vale. Sabaris's goalkeeper really had to stretch himself to stop the ball from crossing the goal line. Francisco Vieira might have been able to make a better finish in the 10th minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Diamantino Amaro. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Francisco Vieira ran back to his position shaking his head. Afonso Setúbal kicked well hit freekick during the 11th minute of the match.

He then quickly gripped the ball tighter before the forwards in Sabaris reached it. António Vale showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Jorge Pires, who was totally free with the ball in the 14th minute. If Joaquim Amaro had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 19th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. With a little luck, Mouguelas's Diamantino Amaro got control of the ball when Cândido Leão tried to sneak it across the goal line.

Jorge Branco, 38 minutes into the match, dribbled the ball up the side of the field and decided to take a long shot at the goal. Unfortunately, the ball was poorly hit and landed closer to the corner than to the goal. José Esteves's late challenge caught a Mouguelas's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. José Esteves helped the player get up and apologised. A collision led to Sabaris getting a freekick after 45 minutes play.

José Mendes sent away a hard shot on goal in the 55th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance.
