The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Patrício Arruda helped the player get up and apologised. After 6 minutes SC Gemeos's goalkeeper Patrício Moniz managed, with a little bit of luck, save Afonso Ribas's penalty, on his right side after a tricky shot. In the 9th minute, Angélico Guerra got an opportunity to score, but he didn't get a solid hit on the ball and ended up kicking it wide of the goal. After a rather tough play, SC Gemeos's Herberto Vargas got a free kick in the 11th minute. Artur Costa fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 13th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Patrício Moniz having to interfere. Zarco Vargas made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Dário Pacheco in the 20th minute of play. The supporters of SC Loure booed when SC Gemeos was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 23 match minutes in a wonderful position. Zeferino Rebelo didn't get a good kick on the ball. After a defensive mix-up in SC Gemeos's zone, Jacob Brito stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Patrício Moniz came out of the goal and Jacob Brito tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. After a rather tough play, SC Gemeos's Zeferino Rebelo got a free kick in the 27th minute. Patrício Moniz made an important save on a dangerous shot by Jacob Brito in the 30th minute. The supporters of SC Loure booed when SC Gemeos was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 31 match minutes in a wonderful position. Herberto Vargas didn't get a good kick on the ball. Jacob Brito could have scored with his fast shot on goal in the 36th minute of the match, but Patrício Moniz made a huge save. After a rather tough play, SC Loure's Gregório Vilar got a free kick in the 38th minute. With a couple of smart ball manuevers Angélico Guerra in the 45th managed to get into a good position. With a left leg Zarco Vargas saved SC Loure from getting behind. After a very even first half the match was still tied. The players went to their respective dressing rooms to discuss the tactics for the second half.

The players of the home team were most fresh-looking when they entered the field to play the second half. Artur Costa was the one to do the kick off. A hard shot by Patrício Arruda from long distance, 60 minutes into the match, got Zarco Vargas's attention. Through a fast twist with his body, he could stop the ball from going in on his right side. Gregório Vilar sent away a hard shot on goal in the 62nd minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. In the 65th minute Jacob Brito shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Patrício Moniz saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. An unexpectedly hard shot by Dário Pacheco in the 67th minute of play forced SC Loure's goalkeeper Zarco Vargas to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. 69 minutes into the match, SC Gemeos's goal looked a bit too open when Artur Costa came free, but Patrício Moniz reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. In the 79th minute, Jorge Castanheira hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Jacob Brito fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 84th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Patrício Moniz having to interfere. Jacob Brito sent away a hard shot on goal in the 94th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. If Jacob Brito had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 97th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. The crowd rose to their feet and cheered when the referee blew the final whistle. SC Loure had won after a very even match.
