Nicolas Vides kicked well hit freekick during the 29th minute of the match. Al Pištěk scored 2-1 in the 31st match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Evaristo de Andrade, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot.

When Paulo Neves came up free with the goalie in the 47th minute, the Pendotiba 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 Paulo Neves couldn't finish the play.

The players of the away team seemed most concentrated when Paulo Neves stepped up to make the kick off in the second half. Valdo da Costa sent away a hard shot on goal in the 57th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance.
