Spectators: 32 (Terracing: 25, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) António Guarda started the match with the kick off in front of an excited audience. 4 minutes into the match, SC Lameiras's goal looked a bit too open when João Jesus came free, but Albertino Santarém reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. João Jesus struck a weak shot in the 9th minute. Albertino Santarém didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Pedragosa FC. In the 14th minute, SC Lameiras's José Fontes seemed to kick out at an opponent. The referee saw this and, surprisingly, showed José Fontes the red card, dismissing him from the pitch.

In the 16th minute there was a penalty for Pedragosa FC. Eduardo Ferreira stepped forward and shot the ball to the right of a diving Albertino Santarém. 0-1. Viriato Santos's late challenge caught a Pedragosa FC's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card.

Viriato Santos didn't get a good kick on the ball.

Rafael Nascimento hit a great freekick 25 minutes into the match. José Oliveira sent away a hard shot on goal in the 36th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. 38 minutes into the match, José Oliveira notched a goal, 1-1, to the right of Pedragosa FC's Augusto Gaspar.

Augusto Gaspar showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Rafael Nascimento, who was totally free with the ball in the 43rd minute.
