Spectators: 32 (Terracing: 25, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) Cristóvão Oliveira made the kick off and thus started the match.

In the 8th minute the ball was on its way in behind Numao's goalkeeper Bruno Mendes, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. 10 minutes into the match, Numao's goalkeeper Bruno Mendes had to clear away a ball on his right side after a cunning shot by Bruno Mendes. After 14 minutes, Bruno Mendes made it 1-0 with a short kick to the right side. Numao's Bruno Mendes tried to save the shot but he was too slow in reacting to the shot. In the 19th minute, Joaquim Nascimento hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. In the 20th minute, Bruno Mendes got an opportunity to score, but he didn't get a solid hit on the ball and ended up kicking it wide of the goal. After a rather tough play, Goucha FC's Álvaro Figueiredo got a free kick in the 24th minute. Paulo Neves struck a weak shot in the 25th minute. Filipe Faria didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Numao. Filipe Faria showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Lucas Cunha in the 30th minute of the match. Lucas Cunha took the ball and in the 30 minute, shot a rapid shot to the right of a surprised Filipe Faria. Filipe Faria dived to the right, and did manage to get a hand on the shot, but it still went into the right corner making it 1-1. Lucas Cunha recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 33rd minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. After having played for 36 minutes, Amadeu Guarda managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Numao's supporters crossed their fingers, but Amadeu Guarda was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. After a very even first half the match was still tied. The players went to their respective dressing rooms to discuss the tactics for the second half.

If Lucas Cunha had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 56th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. When the match had gone on for 66 minutes, Cristóvão Oliveira put it in 2-1 from a short distance just to the right of Bruno Mendes. After some careless play in the Numao defense, Bruno Mendes kicked a shot that curved into the net to the right of Bruno Mendes. The Numao fans voiced their displeasure as they felt that Bruno Mendes should have stopped the shot. In the 81st minute, Amadeu Guarda got an opportunity to score, but he didn't get a solid hit on the ball and ended up kicking it wide of the goal. Cristóvão Oliveira received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 87th minute. Bruno Mendes tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. An unexpectedly hard shot by Lucas Cunha in the 95th minute of play forced Goucha FC's goalkeeper Filipe Faria to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. In the 95th minute, António Miranda hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Numao's players left the field with heads hung low after losing a match that had been finely balanced throughout.
