After having played for 20 minutes, Zeferino Palma managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. FCPorto's supporters crossed their fingers, but Zeferino Palma was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. Ronaldo Bulhosa took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Honorato Salgueiro, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Ronaldo Bulhosa showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Honorato Salgueiro, who was totally free with the ball in the 26th minute. Isidoro Vilanova spun around in front of the goal 35 minutes in the game, and got away a shot that, to his disappointment, went to the left of FCPorto's goal. 40 minutes into the match, Ripon City's goal looked a bit too open when Honorato Salgueiro came free, but Ronaldo Bulhosa reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line.

An unexpectedly hard shot by Honorato Salgueiro in the 59th minute of play forced Ripon City's goalkeeper Ronaldo Bulhosa to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. 60 minutes had been played when some careless play by Ripon City's defense caused the ball to cross the line for a corner. Paulo Liberato was slow to take the kick. During this time FCPorto's players had a chance to rest. FCPorto's Paulo Liberato was first on the ball when the corner was shot and he dangerously headed the ball towards goal, but Ronaldo Bulhosa in the goal jumped up to prevent it from getting in. Ripon City's Isidoro Vilanova got a good chance for a goal in the 75th minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. 82 minutes into the game, Paulo Liberato was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. FCPorto's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave Ripon City the free kick. Isidoro Vilanova fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 91st minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Dewa Cinta having to interfere. In the 94thth minute of the game Isidoro Vilanova who was perfectly placed tried to make a shot on goal, but FCPorto's Dewa Cinta was lucky and managed to grab hold of the ball. The second half was just like the first, even and exciting. The match ended in a draw.
