poku saw most attack opportunities on the wings. Using their counter-attacking abilities was the strategy of choice for Águias. With their counter attack move halted 23 minutes into the game, Águias were left with a free kick. The ball is passed straight through to the other end of the penalty area, with hopes for it to reach L. Saudade. However, he didn't have his wits about him and the ball went out. L. Saudade had a good try after 24 minutes, coming in on a fine move from the left, but the ball went wide. There was concern in the stands when, at the 27 minute mark, Águias's 林. 順彪 (Shunbiao) hit the ground hard, but he refused the attention of the trainer and rejoined his teammates on the pitch. Águias took the lead after 37 minutes making the score 0 - 1. H. Ruohtula placed the ball out of reach for the home side's keeper after a fine move, coming in from the left. E. Santos Abreu of Águias took advantage of a mistake on the home side's right after 38 minutes which increased the away team's lead to 0 - 2. After 38 minutes, the Águias players received new instructions from their manager on how to keep in control of the game. 0 - 2 was the halftime score. Possession in this half belonged to poku, who controlled the ball 54 percent of the time.

T. Nogueira received some harsh words from his coach after he acted foolishly 47 minutes into the match, probably out of lack of experience, and almost let an opponent score. The opposing supporters gave the referee an earful when he only gave N. Jorge Silva from poku a yellow card after a mistimed challenge from behind 72 minutes into the game. That was far too lenient! The home crowd cheered when, after 73 minutes, I. Nazaré's charge up the middle resulted in the keeper making one of his best saves of the day. Given a free kick in a difficult position after 74 minutes, poku tried a variation that they had practised in training. The kick was sent into the area just in front of the keeper. However, the defence were on their toes and allowed no space for a finish. Águias's L. Saudade made it through the home team's defence on the right hand side 76 minutes into the match. After rounding the keeper, he only had to place the ball in the unguarded goal when a defender slid in and cleared the ball off the line. poku had most of the ball, with 55 percent of possession.

poku's best player was T. Mamuk. F. Jorge was a disappointment, however. Águias's top performer was clearly S. Barros Sousa. 林. 順彪 (Shunbiao) turned in a dismal performance, however. The match ends 0 - 2.
