Pressing was the tactic of the day for Betleo.com. 15 minutes into the game, E. Perolada was a hair's breadth away from giving Betleo.com the lead with a shot from over on the left. A prompt block by E. Raimundo saved the home team that time. With 24 minutes played, the visitors broke through on the right after some poor defending. R. Oliveira Araújo put the ball away for 0 - 1. Content with how the game was proceeding, the Betleo.com coach let M. Skog replace E. Perolada after 25 minutes. 28 minutes into the game, Betleo.com had difficulty finding their positions and their organisation dropped to solid. Betleo.com's G. Fotache got himself booked for a foul. With 33 minutes played, after a good run down the left, V. Tereso went down looking for a penalty after a challenge from the visitors' right fullback, but the referee waved play on, and later warned him for diving. Halftime score was 0 - 1. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by Betleo.com, with 51 percent of the ball.

During the break, Betleo.com's coach went through the team's tactics yet again, getting them up to solid organisation. The Torpedo coach was desperate to reverse his team's fortunes in the game, and ordered his team to change strategy. The Betleo.com coach was visibly pleased with the score so far, but still ordered a few tactical changes 46 minutes into the game. E. Raimundo kept the home side in the game with a magnificent save when A. Matias delivered an almost perfect free kick to the far post. In the lead, Betleo.com adjusted their style of play with 65 minutes gone. R. Oliveira Araújo came close to extending the visitors' lead when he found himself completely unmarked in front of the goal after a pass through the middle. He tried to lift the ball over E. Raimundo but overcooked it and hit the bar instead. Betleo.com's ability to press all over the field frequently paid dividends. After 75 minutes, the Betleo.com players received new instructions from their manager on how to keep in control of the game. Betleo.com's talent at pressing frustrated the spectators as the game became a dire midfield struggle. 85 minutes in, and Torpedo were able to score the equalising goal to make it 1 - 1 when S. Ribeira picked up a pass coming in from the right and chipped it past the away team's keeper. 86 minutes in, Betleo.com appeared unsure on how to play and their organisation was only weak. Slack defending gave Torpedo a chance to take the lead with 88 minutes played, but H. Ramos Cardoso's cross from the left flank was fumbled in front of the goal and easily dealt with by the opposition. Neither team were able to dominate possession this half.

V. Tereso performed admirably for Torpedo. E. Raimundo turned in a dismal performance, however. The most dominating Betleo.com player was without a doubt M. Moreira. A. Ramentol on the other hand, had a terrible day. The match ends 1 - 1.
