Spectators: 32 (Terracing: 25, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) The sun was shining, the grass was green and the audience cheered when Vicente Figueiredo got the match started through his kick off. Jorge Amaral stood for a superb save when he managed to get hold of Paulo Borges's shot from short distance in the 4th minute. Vicente Figueiredo received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 5th minute. Jaime Fonseca tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. When Augusto Cruz fell near the penalty area in the 10th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Murias's protests and gave Augusto Cruz a yellow card for diving instead. After 10 played minutes Murias got a freekick which was hit by Augusto Cruz. If Vicente Figueiredo had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 13th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead.

Vicente Figueiredo really showed his touch with that goal: 1-0. Vicente Figueiredo's shot was meant for the net just under the crossbar, but Jaime Fonseca read the situation well and was quickly in position to make a wonderful save in the 23rd minute of play.

After some fancy dribbling in the 31st minute, Gabriel Sá managed to get in a good position for a shot. Valdreu FC's supporters rose to their feet, but Gabriel Sá was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Jorge Amaral breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. Carlos Ferro kicked well hit freekick during the 32nd minute of the match. If Gabriel Sá had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 33rd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. If Vicente Figueiredo had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 36th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. The Valdreu FC fans' excitement grew in the 39th match minute when Valdreu FC's Gabriel Sá looked to have a clear shot with the ball near the goal. The shot wasn't hard, but the ball still rolled over the goal line to make it 1-1 before the goalkeeper had a chance to intervene. After a defensive mix-up in Valdreu FC's zone, Vicente Figueiredo stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Jaime Fonseca came out of the goal and Vicente Figueiredo tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. Emanuel Porto might have been able to make a better finish in the 44th minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Jaime Fonseca. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Emanuel Porto ran back to his position shaking his head.

Gabriel Sá struck a weak shot in the 53rd minute. Jorge Amaral didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Valdreu FC. Murias's Jorge Amaral proved his good apprehension of play when he, in the 55th minute of the match, managed to save Murias from getting a goal against them.

But the shot missed the goal by a fraction of an inch, and the fans sat back down disappointed that Vicente Figueiredo couldn't finish the play. 75 minutes into the match, Valdreu FC's goal looked a bit too open when Vicente Figueiredo came free, but Jaime Fonseca reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Jaime Fonseca stood for a superb save when he managed to get hold of Vicente Figueiredo's shot from short distance in the 82nd minute.
