Spectators: 7450 (Terracing: 5589, Seating: 1713, VIP seats: 148) Charilaos Iakovatos didn't have a chance when a screaming shot from João Carlos Britto went, in the 8th minute, to the upper right corner, 1-0 was the resulting score. 19 minutes into the match, Sakis Kritikos notched a goal, 1-1, to the right of S.E. Pindorama Eagles's Luís Donatello. Luís Donatello was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. S.E. Pindorama Eagles's Luís Donatello played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Charis Droumalias in the 22nd minute of play. In the 30th minute, Periklis Asimakis made a precise shot to the right of Luís Donatello. S.E. Pindorama Eagles's defense was at fault, and the scoreboard reflected the new score, 1-2. With a little luck, Seahawks V55's Charilaos Iakovatos got control of the ball when João Carlos Britto tried to sneak it across the goal line. 45 minutes into the game, André Rosado was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. S.E. Pindorama Eagles's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave Seahawks V55 the free kick. After 46 played minutes S.E. Pindorama Eagles got a freekick which was hit by André Rosado. When Seahawks V55's Dimitris Katsapis in the 47th minute got a chance for a shot 47th didn't hesitate and placed the ball to the right of the goalie. A beautiful save bye S.E. Pindorama Eagles's goalie prevented a goal.

The hometeam waved at the audience when it was time for Samuel Cordeiro to strike the kick off in the second half. Charilaos Iakovatos took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Douglas Teixeira, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. When Dimitris Katsapis came up free with the goalie in the 56th minute, the Seahawks V55 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 Dimitris Katsapis couldn't finish the play. In the 61st minute Charis Droumalias shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Luís Donatello saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. An unexpected shot in the 65th minute by Sakis Kritikos got the crowd on their feet, but to their dismay it went out on the left side. Luís Donatello didn't succeed in stopping the ball in the 67th minute, which inside left pole to 1-3. Charilaos Iakovatos showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Samuel Cordeiro in the 73rd minute of the match. After a defensive mix-up in Seahawks V55's zone, Ernani Simões stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Charilaos Iakovatos came out of the goal and Ernani Simões tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. After having played for 78 minutes, Dimitris Katsapis managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Seahawks V55's supporters crossed their fingers, but Dimitris Katsapis was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. Seahawks V55 played a much better game than S.E. Pindorama Eagles and deserved their victory. The S.E. Pindorama Eagles players were clearly disappointed as they left the ground.
