With a little luck, Vieiras FC's Daniel Branco got control of the ball when Raul Neves tried to sneak it across the goal line. After 32 played minutes, Covelos's Vítor Pires shot from a long distance, and at first it looked like the ball was going into the goal, but the goalkeeper Daniel Branco 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 Covelos reached it. Simão Vale received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 35th minute. André Moutinho tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere.
