Playing at Estádio Aurélio Pereira, in Alcochete, the green-and-whites got the goal they deserved in the 36th minute after creating several chances. David Makinde burst forward down the left, beat a defender, and entered the box, where he was brought down for a foul. He took responsibility himself and opened the scoring from the penalty spot.

In the second half, the green-and-white side made it 2-0 in the 76th minute after another outstanding individual move. On his own and driving forward, David Makinde covered ground unchallenged and, at the moment of finishing, chipped the goalkeeper to seal the result.
