Spectators: 32 (Terracing: 25, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) An unexpectedly hard shot by André Brás in the 5th minute of play forced Baixinho's goalkeeper Inácio Fernandes to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. 10 minutes into the match, Baixinho's Emanuel Guerreiro sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that Álvaro Amaro narrowly saved just below the crossbar. The referee was alert and spotted a serious foul by Joel Branco during the 11th minute. The player immediately received a yellow card. After a rather tough play, Baixinho's Joel Branco got a free kick in the 11th minute. Alberto Torres recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 17th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. In the 21st minute the ball was on its way in behind Ermegil FC's goalkeeper Álvaro Amaro, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. Álvaro Amaro showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Emanuel Guerreiro in the 27th minute of the match. Inácio Fernandes showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Óscar Garcia, who was totally free with the ball in the 29th minute. 30 minutes into the match, Alberto Torres notched a goal, 0-1, to the right of Baixinho's Inácio Fernandes. Inácio Fernandes was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. After 33 minutes, Carlos Andrade mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Ermegil FC and the Baixinho players grew even worse after the yellow card. Inácio Fernandes took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Óscar Garcia, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Inácio Fernandes showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Óscar Garcia, who was totally free with the ball in the 46th minute. With a little luck, Ermegil FC's Álvaro Amaro got control of the ball when Oliveira Barros tried to sneak it across the goal line. Luck had favoured the away team in the first, and they walked off with a 0-2 lead.

The hometeam waved at the audience when it was time for Emanuel Guerreiro to strike the kick off in the second half. Álvaro Amaro showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Oliveira Barros in the 52nd minute of the match. After 53 minutes of play, Ermegil FC's André Brás made it 0-3 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Inácio Fernandes was left in no man's land by his defense there! Óscar Garcia was really disappointed when he shot the ball just outside the right post instead of scoring a goal in the 63rd minute. Ermegil FC's manager could be seen on the sidelines shaking his head and muttering to himself as his team had just wasted another chance. Emanuel Guerreiro sent away a hard shot on goal in the 68th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Amadeu Soares fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 74th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Álvaro Amaro having to interfere. Baixinho's Oliveira Barros got a good chance for a goal in the 85th minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. Óscar Garcia recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 87th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. If Alberto Torres had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 89th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. After having played for 95 minutes, Alberto Torres managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Ermegil FC's supporters crossed their fingers, but Alberto Torres was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. The Ermegil FC players were relieved to hear the final whistle blow to end the match. The away crowd was happy to see their team win after a very tight game.
