Estadio Pessolta
Spectators: 32 (Terracing: 25, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Paulo Matias took the kick off in the first half of the match. In the 8th minute João Costa shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Cândido Freitas saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Henrique Lima hit a great freekick 14 minutes into the match. In the 16th minute the ball was on its way in behind SC Pessolta's goalkeeper Daniel Morais, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. SC Pessolta's Daniel Morais played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Pedro Morais in the 20th minute of play. A hard shot 23 in the game by Gaspar Setúbal from a close distance when the talented Cândido Freitas managed to make a qualified save. Bolavo FC's players were relieved. Daniel Morais took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Paulo Matias, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. With a little luck, Bolavo FC's Cândido Freitas got control of the ball when Gaspar Setúbal tried to sneak it across the goal line. Bolavo FC's Cândido Freitas played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by João Costa in the 42nd minute of play.

In the 47th minute, Manuel Pinho hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Gaspar Setúbals short, quick shot in the 48thth minute got Cândido Freitas to make great effort and bar the ball away from getting in. Even after changing tactics the home team jogged off the field with a 0-1 deficit. They would have to work harder if they wanted to turn things around in the second half.

In the 55th minute, Bolavo FC's Paulo Matias dribbled the ball into the box and hit a shot with the outside of his foot, sending the keeper the wrong way. 0-2. Gaspar Setúbal struck a weak shot in the 59th minute. Cândido Freitas didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for SC Pessolta. The audience was convinced that Gaspar Setúbal's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Cândido Freitas was relentless in the 62nd minute of the game. In the 73rd minute Alberto Pinho suffered a foot injury and had to be helped off the field. Gabriel Borba charged in rather forcefully in the 73rd minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Gabriel Borba the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. Gabriel Borba kicked well hit freekick during the 74th minute of the match. Pedro Morais fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 80th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Daniel Morais having to interfere. A collision led to SC Pessolta getting a freekick after 84 minutes play. Adolfo Silva hit a great ball. Jorge Neto, 85 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. When SC Pessolta's Gaspar Setúbal in the 87th minute got a chance for a shot 87th didn't hesitate and placed the ball to the right of the goalie. A beautiful save bye Bolavo FC's goalie prevented a goal. The away crowd were delighted with the way their team had played and cheered loudly when the final whistle sounded. Bolavo FC walked away with the win, even though the match was close until the end.
