Bruno Valente sent away a hard shot on goal in the 16th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. An unexpectedly hard shot by Álvaro Barros in the 18th minute of play forced SC Agrelo's goalkeeper Ricardo Abreu to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Ribeiro's Miguel Marques proved his good apprehension of play when he, in the 23rd minute of the match, managed to save Ribeiro from getting a goal against them.

In the 45th minute, André Brás hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. After the first half the score was level.

To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. In the 69th minute, Álvaro Barros fired away a killer shot towards the goal that, to the delight of Ricardo Abreu, passed just outside the right post. If Bruno Valente had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 71st minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead.

Ricardo Abreu took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Bruno Valente, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Vítor Abreu struck a weak shot in the 76th minute.
