Estadio Arguedeira
Spectators: 32 (Terracing: 25, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) The sun was shining, the grass was green and the audience cheered when Pedro Sá got the match started through his kick off. Pedro Leal sent away a hard shot on goal in the 3rd minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Luís Anjos's shot was meant for the net just under the crossbar, but Vicente Leiria read the situation well and was quickly in position to make a wonderful save in the 7th minute of play. After 35 played minutes, SC Jugueiros's Joaquim Rodrigues shot from a long distance, and at first it looked like the ball was going into the goal, but the goalkeeper Vicente Leiria came through and got his fingers on the ball before it flew over the goal line. He then quickly gripped the ball tighter before the forwards in SC Jugueiros reached it. After some fancy dribbling in the 36th minute, Catarino Rodrigues managed to get in a good position for a shot. Arguedeira FC's supporters rose to their feet, but Catarino Rodrigues was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Daniel Araújo breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. If Catarino Rodrigues had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 48th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. 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.

The players of the home team were most fresh-looking when they entered the field to play the second half. Pedro Leal was the one to do the kick off. In the 53rd minute Catarino Rodrigues shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Daniel Araújo saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. In the 55th minute, Pedro Sá 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. In the 57th minute Pedro Sá shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Vicente Leiria saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. 64 minutes into the match, José Monteiro had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Daniel Araújo. SC Jugueiros's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that José Monteiro was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 1-0. Vicente Leiria came out of the goal in the 68th minute to try and stop a shot by SC Jugueiros's Pedro Sá. But to his dismay, Pedro Sá quickly shot the ball in between his legs and into the goal making it 1-1. Vicente Leiria made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Pedro Sá in the 72nd minute of play. A collision led to SC Jugueiros getting a freekick after 74 minutes play. Sebastião Costa hit a great ball. If Pedro Leal had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 79th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. If Pedro Sá had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 81st minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Through an outstanding action, after 82 minutes, Vicente Leiria successfully got his hands on the ball before it slid into the goal at the right post. The supporters of SC Jugueiros booed when Arguedeira FC was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 83 match minutes in a wonderful position. Amadeu Cabral didn't get a good kick on the ball. When Pedro Sá, who was free, got the in front of the goal in the 84 minute he wasn't focused and tipped the ball just over the goal. The Vicente Leiria was delighted since the ball would have got in if it had gone under the crossbar. Arguedeira FC's Vicente Leiria proved his good apprehension of play when he, in the 89th minute of the match, managed to save Arguedeira FC from getting a goal against them. If Pedro Leal had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 92nd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Viriato Miranda kicked well hit freekick during the 93rd minute of the match. Jeers came from both ends of the stadium when the final whistle went. Neither team had looked impressive and the draw seeemd a fair result.
