Spectators: 7243 (Terracing: 5433, Seating: 1666, VIP seats: 144) The mood of the audience was pleasant when Kiko de Azevedo made the kick off which started today's match. Alfredo Tande struck a weak shot in the 9th minute. Nico Vasconcelos didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Lauro. Álvaro Carioca hit a great freekick 11 minutes into the match. Nuno Luz struck a weak shot in the 12th minute. Nico Vasconcelos didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Lauro. Roger Furtado fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 15th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Perivaldo Pombal having to interfere. If Nuno Luz had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 18th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. In the 21st minute Alfredo Tande shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Nico Vasconcelos saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Gernando Fontes's late challenge caught a Andradas United's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Gernando Fontes helped the player get up and apologised. The supporters of Lauro booed when Andradas United was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 30 match minutes in a wonderful position. José Pedro Prado didn't get a good kick on the ball. In the 35th match minute, Lauro was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Serginho Novaes to maneuver through the defense. Lauro's Perivaldo Pombal proved his good apprehension of play when he, in the 38th minute of the match, managed to save Lauro from getting a goal against them. Nico Vasconcelos stood for a superb save when he managed to get hold of Nuno Luz's shot from short distance in the 40th minute.

The hometeam waved at the audience when it was time for Nuno Luz to strike the kick off in the second half. Alfredo Tande could have scored with his fast shot on goal in the 54th minute of the match, but Nico Vasconcelos made a huge save. When Alfredo Tande came up free with the goalie in the 58th minute, the Lauro 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 Alfredo Tande couldn't finish the play. If Nuno Luz had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 62nd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Nico Vasconcelos made an important save on a dangerous shot by Alfredo Tande in the 65th minute. After some fancy dribbling in the 67th minute, Roger Furtado managed to get in a good position for a shot. Andradas United's supporters rose to their feet, but Roger Furtado was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Perivaldo Pombal breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. Nuno Luz sent away a hard shot on goal in the 71st minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Alfredo Tandes short, quick shot in the 73rdth minute got Nico Vasconcelos to make great effort and bar the ball away from getting in. Roger Furtado received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 75th minute. Perivaldo Pombal tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Andradas United's Kiko de Azevedo got a good chance for a goal in the 77th minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar.

In the 87th match minute, Lauro was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Gernando Fontes to maneuver through the defense. If Nuno Luz had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 90th minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. 96 minutes into the match, Andradas United's goal looked a bit too open when Nuno Luz came free, but Nico Vasconcelos reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. The Andradas United fans had already started to leave before the final whistle blew. Lauro were clearly better and deserved to take the win.
