Doni Seco was out of position in the 12 minute of play, and Kuzman Bondzhov capitalized on the mistake with a soft shot into the goal. Kuzman Bondzhov really showed his touch with that goal: 1-0.

Matey Trashliev made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from João Vítor Ferreira in the 43rd minute of play. DARAS's attentive Gavril Bratovanov managed to snatch the ball when Telmo da Fonseca made a throw-in in the 47th minute of the game. When the referee blew for the end of the half the home team players were clearly happier, as they went in to the break leading 2-0.

In the 99th match minute, Castanheiro SC was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Geovani Madureira to maneuver through the defense. After 100 played minutes, DARAS's Matey Shumanski shot from a long distance, and at first it looked like the ball was going into the goal, but the goalkeeper Doni Seco 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 DARAS reached it. Many of Castanheiro SC's supporters were seen to leave the ground early as it became clear their team was going to lose. Castanheiro SC may have spent more time on the ball, but DARAS were more willing to take their chances and they walked away with the win.
