Queijadaes
Spectators: 32 (Terracing: 25, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Nuno Correia started the match with the kick off. After some fancy dribbling in the 10th minute, Nuno Correia managed to get in a good position for a shot. Queijadaes FC's supporters rose to their feet, but Nuno Correia was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Hélder Aguiar breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. Delfim Nogueira received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 16th minute. Hélder Aguiar tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Nuno Correia sent away a hard shot on goal in the 17th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. 1-1 became the score in the 19th minute when Nuno Correia elegantly shot the ball into goal just under the crossbar. Júlio Pinheiro sent away a hard shot on goal in the 26th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Paulo Luz struck a weak shot in the 27th minute. Hélder Aguiar didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Queijadaes FC. An unexpectedly hard shot by Júlio Pinheiro in the 29th minute of play forced Queijadaes FC's goalkeeper Sérgio Carneiro to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. After a rather tough play, Queijadaes FC's Filipe Vale got a free kick in the 33rd minute. In the 34th minute of the match Afonso Trindade shot from a long distance. The ball could have gone into the goal to the right of the goalkeeper, but Sérgio Carneiro showed his good shape when he easily got hold of the ball. In the 40th minute Júlio Pinheiro shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Sérgio Carneiro saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. In the 43rd minute, Delfim Nogueira hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. After some fancy dribbling in the 47th minute, Nuno Carneiro managed to get in a good position for a shot. SC Palma's supporters rose to their feet, but Nuno Carneiro was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Sérgio Carneiro breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. After fighting hard for a draw in the first half, the players were able to take a much needed rest.

The players of the away team seemed most concentrated when Júlio Pinheiro stepped up to make the kick off in the second half. In the 56th minute Júlio Pinheiro shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Sérgio Carneiro saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. The audience thought a goal was coming when Nuno Carneiro got free with Sérgio Carneiro in the 57th minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort. Vicente Coelho received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 68th minute. Hélder Aguiar tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. If Paulo Luz had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 74th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Hélder Aguiar showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Paulo Luz, who was totally free with the ball in the 76th minute. Paulo Luz received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 79th minute. Hélder Aguiar tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. If Paulo Luz had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 82nd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. 83 minutes into the match, Nuno Correia notched a goal, 2-1, to the right of SC Palma's Hélder Aguiar. Hélder Aguiar was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. After a defensive mix-up in SC Palma's zone, Nuno Correia stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Hélder Aguiar came out of the goal and Nuno Correia tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. Nuno Carneiro received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 92nd minute. Sérgio Carneiro tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere.
