Spectators: 7216 (Terracing: 5413, Seating: 1660, VIP seats: 143) The mood of the audience was pleasant when Aristides Gouveia made the kick off which started today's match. Zeferino Garcia sent away a hard shot on goal in the 3rd minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. 8 minutes into the game, Yuri Regueira cracked a shot to the right of the goalkeeper, 0-2. David Azenha was not in position, and could only watch the ball fly in. Lázaro Menezes kicked well hit freekick during the 17th minute of the match. If Yuri Regueira had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 21st minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. After having played for 25 minutes, Zeferino Garcia managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. ZcalabitanoZ's supporters crossed their fingers, but Zeferino Garcia was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. When Carlos Fidalgo came up free with the goalie in the 26th minute, the Bicuela FC fans jumped to their feet. But the shot missed the goal by a fraction of an inch, and the fans sat back down disappointed that Carlos Fidalgo couldn't finish the play. David Azenha didn't have a chance when a screaming shot from Carlos Fidalgo went, in the 28th minute, to the upper right corner, 0-3 was the resulting score. Zeferino Garcia received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 39th minute. Gaspar Ferro tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. 46 minutes into the match, Bicuela FC's goalkeeper Gaspar Ferro had to clear away a ball on his right side after a cunning shot by Zeferino Garcia. Even after changing tactics the home team jogged off the field with a 0-3 deficit. They would have to work harder if they wanted to turn things around in the second half.

When the second half was about to start, both teams quickly lined up and Carlos Fidalgo made a kick off. In the 55th minute Aristides Gouveia shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Gaspar Ferro saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. After 63 minutes, Leonel Mafra mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the ZcalabitanoZ and the Bicuela FC players grew even worse after the yellow card. Yuri Regueira struck a weak shot in the 64th minute. David Azenha didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Bicuela FC. After a rather tough play, Bicuela FC's Rui Brochado got a free kick in the 70th minute. In the 71st minute of the match Cassiano Azevedo sent off a long shot with destination to the right of the goalkeeper, but Gaspar Ferro skillfully saved the ball. In the 75th minute Bicuela FC were awarded a corner. Adelino Rios went to the cornerflag to take it. After taking down the ball on Bicuela FC's corner Adelino Rios fired away a hard shot, but the defenders efficiently covered the most dangerous angles and David Azenha quite easily take care of the ball. Gaspar Ferro showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Aristides Gouveia, who was totally free with the ball in the 77th minute. In the 80th match minute, ZcalabitanoZ was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Leonel Mafra to maneuver through the defense. Adelino Rios was probably a little too eager to shoot when he, in the 81st played minute, shot the ball from way out. The shot was hard, but the ball flew wide of the goal. If Carlos Fidalgo had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 92nd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Bicuela FC's supporters were very happy and cheered loudly because their team had won after a very close match.
