Spectators: 7093 (Terracing: 5443, Seating: 1506, VIP seats: 144) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Manuel Soares started the match with the kick off. If Basílio Setúbal had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 3rd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Juliano Vale took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Basílio Setúbal, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Juliano Vale made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Mickael De Mesemaekre in the 6th minute of play. 11 minutes into the game, Manuel Soares cracked a shot to the right of the goalkeeper, 0-1.

When SC Pedrulheira's Basílio Setúbal in the 29th minute got a chance for a shot 29th didn't hesitate and placed the ball to the right of the goalie.

When the second half was about to start, both teams quickly lined up and Vivaldo Domingos made a kick off.

In the 55th minute, André Campos hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Manuel Soares had several of the Atletico de RioTinto's defenders around him in the penalty area when he, after 58 minutes of play, received a pass and succeeded in some way to shoot a shot which went straight ahead into goal. This resulted in a 0-3 score and a disappointed Juliano Vale as he didn't even see the shot coming. 63 minutes into the game, Manuel Soares recieved a splendid long ball, split the defenders, and gently placed the ball to the left of Juliano Vale. Manuel Soares showed that you don't have to tear a hole in the net to score, 0-4. If Dário Figueiredo had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 68th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Silvestre Ruas's late challenge caught a SC Pedrulheira's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain.
