Spectators: 6961 (Terracing: 5000, Seating: 1961, VIP seats: 0) Henrique Serineu made the kick off and thus started the match. When the match had gone on for 3 minutes, Flavio Quilempan took a quick shot and it went in 1-0 without a chance for Hélio Nascimento to make any attempt to save it. If Henrique Serineu had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 6th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Zé Pedrosa sent away a hard shot on goal in the 17th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. In the 20thth minute of the game Cláudio Nascimento who was perfectly placed tried to make a shot on goal, but Congleton's Miguel Sá was lucky and managed to grab hold of the ball. Zé Pedrosa recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 21st minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. The audience was convinced that Zé Pedrosa's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Miguel Sá was relentless in the 24th minute of the game. Cláudio Nascimento fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 34th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Miguel Sá having to interfere. After having played for 36 minutes, Zé Pedrosa managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Hedge End FC's supporters crossed their fingers, but Zé Pedrosa was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. Miguel Sá came out of the goal in the 45th minute to try and stop a shot by Hedge End FC's Zé Pedrosa. But to his dismay, Zé Pedrosa quickly shot the ball in between his legs and into the goal making it 1-1. After a rather tough play, Hedge End FC's Luís Malheiro got a free kick in the 47th minute.

The players of the home team were most fresh-looking when they entered the field to play the second half. Zé Pedrosa was the one to do the kick off. A collision led to Congleton getting a freekick after 58 minutes play. Toni Flores hit a great ball. After 61 minutes, Flavio Quilempan made it 2-1 with a short kick to the right side. Hedge End FC's Hélio Nascimento tried to save the shot but he was too slow in reacting to the shot. Zé Pedrosa sent away a hard shot on goal in the 65th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Miguel Sá made a fantastic save in the 68th minute, when Cláudio Nascimento sent off a good shot on target. In the 72nd match minute, Hedge End FC was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Luís Malheiro to maneuver through the defense. Hélio Nascimento took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Henrique Serineu, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Congleton's Miguel Sá played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Zé Pedrosa in the 97th minute of play. The Congleton fans had already started to leave before the final whistle blew. Hedge End FC were clearly better and deserved to take the win.
