Spectators: 152 (Terracing: 114, Seating: 35, VIP seats: 3) The mood of the audience was pleasant when Cristiano Lago made the kick off which started today's match. In the 8thth minute of the game Cristiano Lago who was perfectly placed tried to make a shot on goal, but TEIXEIRINHA FC's Doni das Neves was lucky and managed to grab hold of the ball. Doni das Neves showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Cristiano Lago in the 10th minute of the match. Doni das Neves showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Cristiano Lago, who was totally free with the ball in the 12th minute. TEIXEIRINHA FC's Doni das Neves played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Cristiano Lago in the 21st minute of play. After some careless play in the TEIXEIRINHA FC defense, Cristiano Lago kicked a shot that curved into the net to the right of Doni das Neves. The TEIXEIRINHA FC fans voiced their displeasure as they felt that Doni das Neves should have stopped the shot. Yan Peixoto made an important save on a dangerous shot by Resulhan Ulvi in the 26th minute. After 29 played minutes Until Five got a freekick which was hit by Valdo Lopez. The referee felt a red card was in order, 30 minutes into the game, when Alan dos Santos put in a rough tackle. Doni das Neves took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Cristiano Lago, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Cristiano Lago received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 34th minute. Doni das Neves tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. When Carlos Saúl Recalde came up free with the goalie in the 37th minute, the Until Five 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 Carlos Saúl Recalde couldn't finish the play. The audience thought a goal was coming when Fred Finsberg got free with Yan Peixoto in the 41st minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort. Cristiano Lago fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 43rd minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Doni das Neves having to interfere. In the 44th match minute, TEIXEIRINHA FC was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by José Maria Ceresso to maneuver through the defense. Carlos Saúl Recalde was probably a little too eager to shoot when he, in the 45th played minute, shot the ball from way out. The shot was hard, but the ball flew wide of the goal. If Cristiano Lago had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 47th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Luck had favoured the away team in the first, and they walked off with a 0-1 lead.

The players of the home team were most fresh-looking when they entered the field to play the second half. Doru Pogea was the one to do the kick off. With a couple of smart ball manuevers Cristiano Lago in the 54th managed to get into a good position. With a left leg Doni das Neves saved TEIXEIRINHA FC from getting behind. TEIXEIRINHA FC's Doni das Neves proved his good apprehension of play when he, in the 55th minute of the match, managed to save TEIXEIRINHA FC from getting a goal against them. The audience was convinced that Cristiano Lago's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Doni das Neves was relentless in the 62nd minute of the game. With a little luck, TEIXEIRINHA FC's Doni das Neves got control of the ball when Carlos Saúl Recalde tried to sneak it across the goal line. When Anderson da Silva came up free with the goalie in the 73rd minute, the TEIXEIRINHA FC 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 Anderson da Silva couldn't finish the play. The supporters of TEIXEIRINHA FC booed when Until Five was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 91 match minutes in a wonderful position. José Maria Lima didn't get a good kick on the ball. After 91 played minutes Anderson da Silva shot from long distance. At first the shot seemed to be simple for Until Five's Yan Peixoto to catch but Anderson da Silva was lucky. It became 1-2 after the goalkeeper had been careless and dropped the ball into goal. The Until Five supporters could be heard counting down the last seconds of the match. They errupted in celebration when the whistle blew, knowing Until Five would go home with victory in their luggage after a match that easily could have ended differently.
