Spectators: 32 (Terracing: 25, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Nuno Setúbal took the kick off in the first half of the match. António Mendes received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 3rd minute. Afonso Setúbal tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. If André Trindade had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 5th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Afonso Setúbal stood for a superb save when he managed to get hold of Alexandre Martins's shot from short distance in the 6th minute. Afonso Setúbal showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from André Trindade, who was totally free with the ball in the 10th minute. After 14 played minutes Redinha FC got a freekick which was hit by Bruno Sá. In the 17th match minute, SC Conguedo was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Afonso Pinheiro to maneuver through the defense. André Trindade recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 21st minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. In the 26th minute the ball was on its way in behind SC Conguedo's goalkeeper Afonso Setúbal, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. Afonso Setúbal made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from André Trindade in the 28th minute of play. When André Trindade came up free with the goalie in the 32nd minute, the Redinha 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 André Trindade couldn't finish the play. Nuno Setúbal might have been able to make a better finish in the 36th minute when he tried to place a hard shot over David Anjos. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Nuno Setúbal ran back to his position shaking his head. 41 minutes into the match, SC Conguedo's goal looked a bit too open when Alexandre Martins came free, but Afonso Setúbal reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. André Trindade fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 44th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Afonso Setúbal having to interfere. The audience was convinced that André Trindade's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Afonso Setúbal was relentless in the 46th minute of the game. Nuno Setúbal received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 49th minute. David Anjos tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Af the end of the first half the score was 1-0. The first half had gone as expected for the home team.

55 minutes into the game, Armando Figueiredo was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. SC Conguedo's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave Redinha FC the free kick. With a little luck, SC Conguedo's Afonso Setúbal got control of the ball when Alexandre Martins tried to sneak it across the goal line. After a defensive mix-up in SC Conguedo's zone, Alexandre Martins stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Afonso Setúbal came out of the goal and Alexandre Martins tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. Mário Pacheco's late challenge caught a SC Conguedo's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Mário Pacheco helped the player get up and apologised. In the 71st minute, one of Redinha FC:s players had the ball in front of the goal but got pushed and fell. The referee felt it was an obvious case and blew a penalty for Redinha FC. André Trindade could have scored with his fast shot on goal in the 77th minute of the match, but Afonso Setúbal made a huge save. After some fancy dribbling in the 78th minute, Alexandre Martins managed to get in a good position for a shot. Redinha FC's supporters rose to their feet, but Alexandre Martins was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Afonso Setúbal breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. André Trindade might have been able to make a better finish in the 82nd minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Afonso Setúbal. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. André Trindade ran back to his position shaking his head. David Anjos took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Nuno Setúbal, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Tomás Sá scored 3-0 in the 91st match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of David Anjos, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. With a couple of smart ball manuevers Nuno Setúbal in the 97th managed to get into a good position. With a left leg David Anjos saved Redinha FC from getting behind. For all the effort they put into the match, the Redinha FC players left disappointed. They had fought hard, but couldn't break down the home team's defense. The match ended in a win for SC Conguedo.
