Spectators: 7792 (Terracing: 5845, Seating: 1792, VIP seats: 155) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when João Vilas Boas kicked off to start the match. The audience was convinced that João Vilas Boas's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Kauan Leme was relentless in the 3rd minute of the game. Marco Varela recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 4th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. 13 minutes into the match, Minho FC's goalkeeper Egídio Loureiro had to clear away a ball on his right side after a cunning shot by Amadeu Vidal. João Vilas Boas fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 21st minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Kauan Leme having to interfere. If Jailson Melo had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 24th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. 27 minutes into the game, Marcelo Senna was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. Casa Real de Savóia F.C.'s manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave Minho FC the free kick. A collision led to Casa Real de Savóia F.C. getting a freekick after 27 minutes play. Marcelo Senna hit a great ball. After 31 minutes, Ramiro Fernandes made it 0-1 with a short kick to the right side. Casa Real de Savóia F.C.'s Kauan Leme tried to save the shot but he was too slow in reacting to the shot. João Vilas Boas struck a weak shot in the 33rd minute. Kauan Leme didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Minho FC.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Jailson Melo to make the kick off. After 51 minutes of play, Casa Real de Savóia F.C.'s Amadeu Vidal made it 1-2 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Egídio Loureiro was left in no man's land by his defense there! In the 54thth minute of the game Jailson Melo who was perfectly placed tried to make a shot on goal, but Minho FC's Egídio Loureiro was lucky and managed to grab hold of the ball. 55 minutes into the match, Minho FC's goal looked a bit too open when Fabinho Prestes came free, but Egídio Loureiro reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. A collision led to Casa Real de Savóia F.C. getting a freekick after 61 minutes play. Décio Macedo hit a great ball. In the 63rd minute, Casa Real de Savóia F.C.'s goalie took a deep sigh of relief after Marco Varela fired away a hard shot that went just outside the left post. After a defensive mix-up in Casa Real de Savóia F.C.'s zone, Ramiro Fernandes stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Kauan Leme came out of the goal and Ramiro Fernandes tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. After a rather tough play, Casa Real de Savóia F.C.'s Wilian Berger got a free kick in the 70th minute. Kauan Leme was a little too slow when Marco Varela got a fine hit on the ball which went right into the goal in the 83rd minute. The score was now 1-3. 88 minutes into the match, Casa Real de Savóia F.C.'s goalkeeper Kauan Leme had to clear away a ball on his right side after a cunning shot by Ramiro Fernandes. With a little luck, Casa Real de Savóia F.C.'s Kauan Leme got control of the ball when Xavier Lamego tried to sneak it across the goal line. The Minho FC players were relieved to hear the final whistle blow to end the match. The away crowd was happy to see their team win after a very tight game.
