Becos
Spectators: 32 (Terracing: 25, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Tiago Ferro kicked off to start the match. Inácio Fernandes stood for a superb save when he managed to get hold of Daniel Veiga's shot from short distance in the 3rd minute. After 5 minutes, Mário Rocha mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Becos and the Cabecudo players grew even worse after the yellow card. After a rather tough play, Becos's Mário Rocha got a free kick in the 5th minute. Rui Matias took a chance and fired a shot far from the goal in the 6th minute, but it turned out to be a dangerous situation for Inácio Fernandes. Becos's goalkeeper really had to stretch himself to stop the ball from crossing the goal line. When Afonso Vieira came up free with the goalie in the 10th minute, the Becos fans jumped to their feet. But the shot missed the goal by a fraction of an inch, and the fans sat back down disappointed that Afonso Vieira couldn't finish the play. Afonso Vieira sent away a hard shot on goal in the 22nd minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. In the 24th minute, Júlio Fontes 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. Daniel Veiga received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 26th minute. Inácio Fernandes tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. The fans had the chance to grab some refreshments as the whistle went for half-time. The score stood at 1-1 after a close first half.

The hometeam waved at the audience when it was time for Afonso Vieira to strike the kick off in the second half. In the 54th match minute, Cabecudo was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Sandro Tavares to maneuver through the defense. Inácio Fernandes made a fantastic save in the 57th minute, when Daniel Veiga sent off a good shot on target. If Júlio Fontes had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 63rd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Miguel Martins took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Júlio Fontes, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. When Alexandre Domingues fell near the penalty area in the 77th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Cabecudo's protests and gave Alexandre Domingues a yellow card for diving instead. The supporters of Becos booed when Cabecudo was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 77 match minutes in a wonderful position. Alexandre Domingues didn't get a good kick on the ball. After 78 minutes of play, Becos's Afonso Vieira made it 2-1 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Miguel Martins was left in no man's land by his defense there! The supporters of Cabecudo booed when Becos was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 81 match minutes in a wonderful position. Mário Rocha didn't get a good kick on the ball. In the 94th minute, Armindo Morais hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Becos succeeded in salvaging a draw, even though Cabecudo had controlled the match.
