Campo de Batatas!!!
Spectators: 7348 (Terracing: 5400, Seating: 1848, VIP seats: 100) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Humberto Velasques started the match with the kick off. Futebol Espinhel's Celso Vasconcelos proved his good apprehension of play when he, in the 22nd minute of the match, managed to save Futebol Espinhel from getting a goal against them. If David Rocha had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 34th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. 40 minutes into the game, Germano Borba cracked a shot to the right of the goalkeeper, 0-1. Filip Gheorghiu was not in position, and could only watch the ball fly in. 47 minutes into the game, Futebol Espinhel's Germano Borba nearly tore a hole in the net with a booming shot. Filip Gheorghiu made a valiant effort, but he could not reach the ball in time, 0-2. After the first half Futebol Espinhel were leading 0-2. They had played with great self confidence throughout the first half and fully deserved their lead.

The players of the away team seemed most concentrated when Alexandre Paiva stepped up to make the kick off in the second half. After 65 played minutes Malukinho F.C. got a freekick which was hit by Tony Olofsson. Altino Malta kicked well hit freekick during the 68th minute of the match. Malukinho F.C.'s Filip Gheorghiu proved his good apprehension of play when he, in the 71st minute of the match, managed to save Malukinho F.C. from getting a goal against them. Filip Gheorghiu showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Germano Borba in the 73rd minute of the match. In the 81st minute David Rocha shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Filip Gheorghiu saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. With his leg Filip Gheorghiu managed to avoid a goal in the 83rdth minute, when Futebol Espinhel's Avelino Tomé fired away a shot with a lot of spin towards his right hand side. David Rocha was really disappointed when he shot the ball just outside the right post instead of scoring a goal in the 85th minute. Futebol Espinhel's manager could be seen on the sidelines shaking his head and muttering to himself as his team had just wasted another chance. After 92 played minutes Malukinho F.C. got a freekick which was hit by Almiro Viveiros.
