Gonçalo Torres ran back to his position shaking his head. In the 26th minute Elder Bastos shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Fernando de Souza saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Nando Brasil sent away a hard shot on goal in the 35th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Pedro Paulo Meira showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Gonçalo Torres in the 37th minute of the match. Elder Bastos fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 43rd minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Fernando de Souza having to interfere. 45 minutes into the game, Cafu Meireles cracked a shot to the right of the goalkeeper, 0-1. Fernando de Souza was not in position, and could only watch the ball fly in. Even after changing tactics the home team jogged off the field with a 0-1 deficit. They would have to work harder if they wanted to turn things around in the second half.

The wind increased when Gonçalo Torres made the kick off in the second half. Vem que é duro's Fernando de Souza proved his good apprehension of play when he, in the 56th minute of the match, managed to save Vem que é duro from getting a goal against them. An unexpectedly hard shot by Elder Bastos in the 58th minute of play forced Vem que é duro's goalkeeper Fernando de Souza to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Gonçalo Torres's shot was meant for the net just under the crossbar, but Pedro Paulo Meira read the situation well and was quickly in position to make a wonderful save in the 60th minute of play. 65 minutes into the match, Claraval's goal looked a bit too open when Gonçalo Torres came free, but Pedro Paulo Meira reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Pedro Paulo Meira took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Nando Brasil, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. After 80 played minutes, Vem que é duro's Tomé Guedes shot from a long distance, and at first it looked like the ball was going into the goal, but the goalkeeper Pedro Paulo Meira came through and got his fingers on the ball before it flew over the goal line. He then quickly gripped the ball tighter before the forwards in Vem que é duro reached it. Gonçalo Torres received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 81st minute. Pedro Paulo Meira tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere.

In the 87th minute Elder Bastos shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Fernando de Souza saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line.
