Spectators: 6641 (Terracing: 5000, Seating: 1641, VIP seats: 0) The mood of the audience was pleasant when Julião Valério made the kick off which started today's match. The audience thought a goal was coming when Gil Henriques got free with Patrício Semedo in the 4th minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort. In the 5th minute Jorge Cabral shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Patrício Semedo saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Diego Boaventura received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 6th minute. Luís Ribeiro tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Diego Boaventura fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 8th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Luís Ribeiro having to interfere. 11 minutes into the match, Quebrada's goalkeeper Patrício Semedo had to clear away a ball on his right side after a cunning shot by Gil Henriques. Graciano Magalhães blasted a shot towards the goal in the 15th minute, but the shot hit the top of the crossbar and went out without Luís Ribeiro having to make a save. When Armindo Torres came up free with the goalie in the 23rd minute, the Ervilhais 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 Armindo Torres couldn't finish the play. In the 28th minute, Elias Taveira hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Armando Coimbra, 29 minutes into the match, dribbled the ball up the side of the field and decided to take a long shot at the goal. Unfortunately, the ball was poorly hit and landed closer to the corner than to the goal. Gil Henriques sent away a hard shot on goal in the 32nd minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. After 33 minutes, Elias Taveira mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Quebrada and the Ervilhais players grew even worse after the yellow card. If Diego Boaventura had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 41st minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. After the first half the score was level. The break gave the players a chance to catch their breath, whilst the managers went over the tactics with them again.

The hometeam waved at the audience when it was time for Armindo Torres to strike the kick off in the second half. In the 51st minute, Diego Boaventura fired away a killer shot towards the goal that, to the delight of Luís Ribeiro, passed just outside the right post. Luís Ribeiro made an important save on a dangerous shot by Diego Boaventura in the 53rd minute. Elias Taveira got his second yellow card in the match during the 55th minute which meant that he had to leave the ground. In the 55th minute, Elias Taveira hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Diego Boaventura came free with the goalkeeper in the 60th minute of the match, and shot straight on target. The shot was a little too simple and Luís Ribeiro could save by the left post. After a defensive mix-up in Ervilhais's zone, Nivaldo Torres stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Luís Ribeiro came out of the goal and Nivaldo Torres tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. Diego Boaventura received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 68th minute. Luís Ribeiro tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Patrício Semedo showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Gil Henriques, who was totally free with the ball in the 74th minute. When Armando Coimbra fell near the penalty area in the 79th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Ervilhais's protests and gave Armando Coimbra a yellow card for diving instead. Armando Coimbra kicked well hit freekick during the 79th minute of the match. When Julião Valério fell near the penalty area in the 81st minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Quebrada's protests and gave Julião Valério a yellow card for diving instead. After a rather tough play, Quebrada's Julião Valério got a free kick in the 81st minute. The supporters of Ervilhais booed when Quebrada was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 82 match minutes in a wonderful position. Julião Valério didn't get a good kick on the ball. After having played for 89 minutes, Diego Boaventura managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Quebrada's supporters crossed their fingers, but Diego Boaventura was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. After some fancy dribbling in the 91st minute, Nivaldo Torres managed to get in a good position for a shot. Quebrada's supporters rose to their feet, but Nivaldo Torres was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Luís Ribeiro breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. In the 93rd minute, Graciano Magalhães 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. When Graciano Magalhães came up free with the goalie in the 96th minute, the Quebrada 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 Graciano Magalhães couldn't finish the play. The teams fought very hard right up to the final whistle. Both sets of players were happy to go away with a draw.
