Spectators: 32 (Terracing: 25, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) Vicente Andrade started the match with the kick off in front of an excited audience. A collision led to Aboleira FC getting a freekick after 4 minutes play. Afonso Viegas hit a great ball. Lucas Dias sent away a hard shot on goal in the 14th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. If Cristóvão Silva had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 15th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. João Porto kicked well hit freekick during the 23rd minute of the match. Gonçalo Coimbra was in exellent shape and made a fantastic save when he, in the 24th minute of the match, managed to get hold of the ball after a long shot from Jorge Reis. In the 39th minute, Aboleira FC's João Silva seemed to kick out at an opponent. The referee saw this and, surprisingly, showed João Silva the red card, dismissing him from the pitch. The coaching staff of Aboleira FC protested bitterly, but the referee would have none of it, and João Silva had no choice but to slowly walk off the pitch. The referee blew the whistle for a penalty in the 38th minute of the game. One of Aboleira FC:s players had nearly got his shirt torn off by an opponent while getting free in front of SC Folhada:s goal. Rogério Fernandes's late challenge caught a Aboleira FC's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Rogério Fernandes helped the player get up and apologised. In the 44th minute, Rogério Fernandes hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. After the first half the score was level. The break gave the players a chance to catch their breath, whilst the managers went over the tactics with them again.

The players of the away team seemed most concentrated when Cristóvão Silva stepped up to make the kick off in the second half. In the 59th minute the ball was on its way in behind Aboleira FC's goalkeeper Gonçalo Coimbra, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. In the 64th minute Lucas Dias shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Gonçalo Coimbra saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Aboleira FC's Gonçalo Coimbra played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Lucas Dias in the 72nd minute of play. When SC Folhada's Cristóvão Silva in the 73rd minute got a chance for a shot 73rd didn't hesitate and placed the ball to the right of the goalie. A beautiful save bye Aboleira FC's goalie prevented a goal. Cristiano Rodrigues kicked well hit freekick during the 79th minute of the match. Cristóvão Silva recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 81st minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. Cristóvão Silva fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 84th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Gonçalo Coimbra having to interfere. An unexpectedly hard shot by Lucas Dias in the 99th minute of play forced Aboleira FC's goalkeeper Gonçalo Coimbra to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. SC Folhada walked away with a well-earned victory that was much celebrated by the crowd.
