Spectators: 174 (Terracing: 131, Seating: 40, VIP seats: 3) The sun was shining, the grass was green and the audience cheered when Salvador Quintela got the match started through his kick off. In the 9th minute, Alberto-José Guine made a precise shot to the right of Afonso Meireles. ÓKINJÔ FC's defense was at fault, and the scoreboard reflected the new score, 0-1. In the 12th minute Anier Quintyn shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Pedro Albuquerque saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. ÓKINJÔ FC's Afonso Meireles played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Alberto-José Guine in the 20th minute of play. Afonso Meireles showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Zeferino Saldanha in the 24th minute of the match. Pedro Albuquerque came out of the goal in the 27th minute to try and stop a shot by ÓKINJÔ FC's Min Nao. But to his dismay, Min Nao quickly shot the ball in between his legs and into the goal making it 1-2. In the 34th minute, Alberto-José Guine ran past the defenders and hit a shot which went straight ahead into goal. Afonso Meireles was frozen by the shot and now it was 1-3. Zeferino Saldanha fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 47th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Afonso Meireles having to interfere. ÓKINJÔ FC's Silvestre Garcia was substituted for Salvador Quintela. The ÓKINJÔ FC players were disheartened as they walked off the pitch after the first half. VETERANOS DA GUINÉ - FLF were winning 1-3.

The players of the home team were most fresh-looking when they entered the field to play the second half. Zeferino Saldanha was the one to do the kick off. Luisito Frasquito took the ball and in the 53 minute, shot a rapid shot to the right of a surprised Pedro Albuquerque. Pedro Albuquerque dived to the right, and did manage to get a hand on the shot, but it still went into the right corner making it 2-3. Pedro Albuquerque took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Silvestre Garcia, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. After some careless play in the ÓKINJÔ FC defense, Alberto-José Guine kicked a shot that curved into the net to the right of Afonso Meireles. The ÓKINJÔ FC fans voiced their displeasure as they felt that Afonso Meireles should have stopped the shot. Pedro Albuquerque didn't have a chance when a screaming shot from Silvestre Garcia went, in the 60th minute, to the upper right corner, 3-4 was the resulting score. Zeferino Saldanha's shot was meant for the net just under the crossbar, but Afonso Meireles read the situation well and was quickly in position to make a wonderful save in the 71st minute of play. If Zeferino Saldanha had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 76th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. In the 78th minute, Alberto-José Guine 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. After a rather tough play, VETERANOS DA GUINÉ - FLF's Amável Esparteiro got a free kick in the 85th minute. An unexpectedly hard shot by Silvestre Garcia in the 88th minute of play forced VETERANOS DA GUINÉ - FLF's goalkeeper Pedro Albuquerque to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. After a defensive mix-up in ÓKINJÔ FC's zone, Zeferino Saldanha stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Afonso Meireles came out of the goal and Zeferino Saldanha tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. The ÓKINJÔ FC fans' excitement grew in the 95th match minute when ÓKINJÔ FC's Anier Quintyn looked to have a clear shot with the ball near the goal. The shot wasn't hard, but the ball still rolled over the goal line to make it 4-5 before the goalkeeper had a chance to intervene.
