They had played with great self confidence throughout the first half and fully deserved their lead.

Arnaldo Moura dived to the right, and did manage to get a hand on the shot, but it still went into the right corner making it 3-3.

Giovanni Soeiro struck a weak shot in the 70th minute. Alfredo Mendonça didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Perobal.
