Spectators: 161 (Terracing: 121, Seating: 37, VIP seats: 3) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Renato Alves took the kick off in the first half of the match. An unexpectedly hard shot by Alfredo Branco in the 3rd minute of play forced AD Pontassolense's goalkeeper Vladimiro Barroso to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. AD Pontassolense's Vladimiro Barroso played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Nicolau Poças in the 10th minute of play. Reginaldo Luz kicked well hit freekick during the 10th minute of the match. After 16 minutes of play, the referee blew the whistle. It was a penalty for Bacardi Black Bats! The referee gave AD Pontassolense a penalty, 18 minutes into the game. The penalty shot was made by Álvaro Carvalho, who made a well placed shot into the net to the right of Bacardi Black Bats's Mateus Peralta. 2-0. When Álvaro Carvalho fell near the penalty area in the 21st minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored AD Pontassolense's protests and gave Álvaro Carvalho a yellow card for diving instead. In the 21st minute, Álvaro Carvalho hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Renato Alves succeeded to score despite a near miss that spronge from right pole into the goal to 3-0 in the 26th playminute. After having played for 29 minutes, Arthur Branco managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. AD Pontassolense's supporters crossed their fingers, but Arthur Branco was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. Palmiro Leite made in the 32nd minute of the game a fairly good throw-in which was taken care of by Cesário Sanches. 36 minutes into the match, Arthur Branco notched a goal, 4-0, to the right of Bacardi Black Bats's Mateus Peralta. Mateus Peralta was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. Renato Alves took the ball and in the 46 minute, shot a rapid shot to the right of a surprised Mateus Peralta. Mateus Peralta dived to the right, and did manage to get a hand on the shot, but it still went into the right corner making it 5-0. The home fans were very happy to see their team leading 5-0 at half-time.

A collision led to Bacardi Black Bats getting a freekick after 58 minutes play. Olívio Salgado hit a great ball. After 60 minutes, Nicolau Poças mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Bacardi Black Bats and the AD Pontassolense players grew even worse after the yellow card. In the 60th minute, Nicolau Poças hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. When Reginaldo Luz came up free with the goalie in the 66th minute, the Bacardi Black Bats 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 Reginaldo Luz couldn't finish the play. Alexandrino Gomes hit a great freekick 67 minutes into the match. Reginaldo Luz struck a weak shot in the 73rd minute. Vladimiro Barroso didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Bacardi Black Bats. After a rather tough play, AD Pontassolense's Álvaro Carvalho got a free kick in the 83rd minute. In the 86th match minute, Bacardi Black Bats was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Alfredo Branco to maneuver through the defense. After 87 played minutes, AD Pontassolense's Raimundo Matos shot from a long distance, and at first it looked like the ball was going into the goal, but the goalkeeper Mateus Peralta 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 AD Pontassolense reached it. If Gervásio Anjos had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 93rd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Mateus Peralta took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Renato Alves, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. When the referee ended the match the AD Pontassolense players were able to celebrate. They had won a fair victory and recieved the ovations of their fans.
