Spectators: 32 (Terracing: 25, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Hugo Aleixo took the kick off in the first half of the match. After 3 minutes, Cláudio Jesus mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Regatinha and the SC Surribas players grew even worse after the yellow card.

Gonçalo Cruz hit a great freekick 58 minutes into the match. After 59 played minutes, Regatinha's Fernando Dias shot from a long distance, and at first it looked like the ball was going into the goal, but the goalkeeper Heitor Gaspar 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 Regatinha reached it. After a rather tough play, SC Surribas's António Ramos got a free kick in the 60th minute. SC Surribas's Heitor Gaspar played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Hugo Aleixo in the 61st minute of play.

The supporters of SC Surribas booed when Regatinha was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 78 match minutes in a wonderful position. João Cabral didn't get a good kick on the ball. Rogério Vaz was out of position in the 79 minute of play, and Bruno Figueiredo capitalized on the mistake with a soft shot into the goal. Bruno Figueiredo really showed his touch with that goal: 0-3. Gabriel Moniz might have been able to make a better finish in the 87th minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Heitor Gaspar. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Gabriel Moniz ran back to his position shaking his head. Gabriel Moniz took the ball and in the 92 minute, shot a rapid shot to the right of a surprised Heitor Gaspar.
