Estadio Malpartida
Spectators: 32 (Terracing: 25, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) The sun was shining, the grass was green and the audience cheered when Jacinto Nascimento got the match started through his kick off. Armindo Gomes fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 2nd minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Gil Leal having to interfere. After having played for 8 minutes, Armindo Gomes managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Malpartida FC's supporters crossed their fingers, but Armindo Gomes was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. Jacinto Nascimento fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 10th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Alexandre Matos having to interfere. After a rather tough play, Malpartida FC's Gaspar Lima got a free kick in the 11th minute. Gil Leal showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Armindo Gomes, who was totally free with the ball in the 19th minute. 25 minutes into the match, SC Catarredor's goalkeeper Gil Leal had to clear away a ball on his right side after a cunning shot by Ricardo Guarda. In the 27th minute Armindo Gomes shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Gil Leal saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Jacinto Nascimento struck a weak shot in the 32nd minute. Alexandre Matos didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for SC Catarredor. The supporters of SC Catarredor booed when Malpartida FC was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 33 match minutes in a wonderful position. Carlos Carneiro didn't get a good kick on the ball. 35 minutes into the match, Augusto Pedroso notched a goal, 0-1, to the right of Malpartida FC's Alexandre Matos. Alexandre Matos was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. If Augusto Pedroso had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 42nd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead.

The wind increased when Armindo Gomes made the kick off in the second half. After 53 minutes of play, Malpartida FC's Armindo Gomes made it 1-1 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net.

Jacinto Nascimento sent away a hard shot on goal in the 64th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance.

Armindo Gomes fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 68th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Gil Leal having to interfere. After some fancy dribbling in the 70th minute, Gaspar Lima managed to get in a good position for a shot. Malpartida FC's supporters rose to their feet, but Gaspar Lima was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Gil Leal breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. Malpartida FC's Alexandre Matos proved his good apprehension of play when he, in the 73rd minute of the match, managed to save Malpartida FC from getting a goal against them. In the 75th match minute, SC Catarredor was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Jacinto Nascimento to maneuver through the defense. Alexandre Matos was out of position in the 79 minute of play, and Jacinto Nascimento capitalized on the mistake with a soft shot into the goal.
