The wings were the focus of most of Frias's attacks today. voadores had a chance to take the lead after A. Machado Ramos's dazzling drive up the left, but the opportunity fizzled out as his shot went just over the bar after 11 minutes. After several obvious shirt pulling incidents, H. Jesus Pinto got himself booked. The manager of Frias was not happy. voadores made a bid to take the lead as a ball coming in on the right hand side left F. Magalhães completely alone with keeper N. Çimen, who made a spectacular block. Many thought O. Bezin ought to have been awarded a penalty 32 minutes into the game, as he went down trying to dribble around N. Çimen after a determined run through the middle. Frias's O. Stampone gave the visitors a 0 - 1 lead after 33 minutes with a superb strike from the right. A. Gacharná of voadores was booked for kicking the ball away after the whistle. voadores's O. Bezin almost tied things up with 36 minutes played after breaking through on the right, but his shot deflected off the post. Frias's D. Carreno got himself booked for a foul. The teams went for the halftime break at 0 - 1. voadores enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 65 percent of possession.

With 53 minutes played, a quick exchange of passes on the left wing freed J. Passo of Frias to slip through the defence and score another goal for the visitors. That made the score 0 - 2. After this, you could see that the players of Frias were more interested in killing time than scoring more goals. The home side worked hard to get through the middle and as a result, had a good chance of getting one back as A. Araújo Neves tried lifting the ball over keeper N. Çimen. Unfortunately, the ball went just over the bar. After 74 minutes, an incisive pass through the middle gave J. Rondanelli a chance to increase the lead for Frias, and he did not disappoint. The score was then 0 - 3. D. Carreno of Frias got sent off for kicking the ball after the whistle, a completely uncalled for move, earning him his second yellow card of the game. A. Araújo Neves sailed high above the opponents as he headed in a corner kick from P. Melhus after 81 minutes of play, making the score 1 - 3. J. Voisin charged down the left and looked sure to score for voadores 82 minutes into the game, but his shot went just wide. Having just succeeded in blocking a dangerous counter attack, the defending team was outwitted by the follow-up Frias free kick. The routine was expertly executed as the ball was shifted quickly to one side of the box, then back to the other. B. Mota appeared on cue near the post, and steered it past the goalie. 1 - 4, after 83 minutes. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by voadores, with 64 percent of the ball.

N. Babaradić performed admirably for voadores. However, A. Gacharná made a disastrous appearance. The most dominating Frias player was without a doubt J. Rondanelli. J. Passo was a disappointment, however. The match ends 1 - 4.
