Marques used their skill at pressing to cut off the attack angles of their opponents all over the field. Coibeira saw most attack opportunities on the wings. Marques had a good opportunity to take the lead as J. Sobreiro came up the left side, but he struck the ball weakly and it went straight into the arms of P. Burnos. Marques broke through on the left 32 minutes into the game, with R. Pena firing in from an acute angle to give the home side a 1 - 0 lead. Coibeira had to make a substitution after 34 minutes. D. Cvijetinović limped off the field and was replaced by F. Letizia. Marques put in a good effort on the right, but J. Sobreiro saw his volley fly wide of the mark 35 minutes into the game. E. Pineda increased the lead for Marques to 2 - 0, getting a head onto a hooked ball from the right. The ball looked to have taken a deflection on the way in, but he's claiming it! Halftime score was 2 - 0. Possession in this half belonged to Marques, who controlled the ball 57 percent of the time.

Cheers filled the stadium as N. Marques broke through the visitors' central defence to put away the ball to increase the lead to 3 - 0 to Marques. 79 minutes into the game, V. Gnevers had to leave the pitch due to a knee injury. In came T. Rovisco. The Marques players could smell victory in the air. J. Navarrete wasn't in a hurry to leave the field as he was substituted for A. Martins Antunes after 84 minutes. Marques had most of the ball, with 62 percent of possession.

Most important Marques player was E. Pineda. However, Á. Piedade Santos made a disastrous appearance. O. Van Droogenbroeck performed admirably for Coibeira. T. Rovisco was a disappointment, however. The match ends 3 - 0.
