Viriato Fonseca came out of the goal in the 21st minute to try and stop a shot by SC Leomil's Humberto Ramos. But to his dismay, Humberto Ramos quickly shot the ball in between his legs and into the goal making it 2-0. The supporters of SC Pipeira booed when SC Leomil was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 23 match minutes in a wonderful position. Mário Correia didn't get a good kick on the ball.

Francisco Moniz sent away a hard shot on goal in the 30th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. In the 32nd minute the ball was on its way in behind SC Leomil's goalkeeper André Sá, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. Jacinto Pires blasted a shot towards the goal in the 36th minute, but the shot hit the top of the crossbar and went out without Viriato Fonseca having to make a save. With a couple of smart ball manuevers Manuel Valente in the 46th managed to get into a good position. With a left leg Viriato Fonseca saved SC Pipeira from getting behind.

When the second half was about to start, both teams quickly lined up and Hélder Reis made a kick off. 52 minutes into the game, SC Pipeira's Hélder Reis nearly tore a hole in the net with a booming shot. André Sá made a valiant effort, but he could not reach the ball in time, 2-1. Jacinto Pires recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 56th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. 57 minutes into the game, Gabriel Moreira was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. SC Pipeira's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave SC Leomil the free kick. After a rather tough play, SC Pipeira's Gabriel Moreira got a free kick in the 58th minute. A collision led to SC Leomil getting a freekick after 64 minutes play. Manuel Valente hit a great ball. The attack was good, but when Francisco Moniz in the 65th minute was about to shoot he didn't kick quite good enough and the ball went high over goal. 73 minutes into the match, Humberto Ramos notched a goal, 3-1, to the right of SC Pipeira's Viriato Fonseca. Viriato Fonseca was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. 80 minutes into the match, SC Leomil's goal looked a bit too open when Hélder Reis came free, but André Sá reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. After 83 minutes, Paulo Araújo mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the SC Pipeira and the SC Leomil players grew even worse after the yellow card. After 84 played minutes SC Pipeira got a freekick which was hit by Paulo Araújo. After some fancy dribbling in the 85th minute, Humberto Ramos managed to get in a good position for a shot. SC Leomil's supporters rose to their feet, but Humberto Ramos was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Viriato Fonseca breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. If Jacinto Pires had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 88th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. The referee blew his whistle, and the match came to a close. The players exchanged shirts and headed down the tunnel. The SC Leomil fans cheered their team off the field, for while SC Pipeira had put up a good fight, they were unable to come out of the game with any points to show for their effort.
