The game ended up tied at zero, but it wasn't for lack of attempts, both by the visiting Portimonense, and by the host Estoril. In the game that closed the 13th round of the I League, there were many shots, some very dangerous, and even a goal by the Portimão team, which was disallowed, but the teams divided the points and none of the players enjoyed the match (to be counted) .

Estoril came in with a desire to score early and were the first team to create danger, after 2 minutes, but the Algarve goalkeeper showed up. At 23, Kléber headed very close to Ricardo Ferreira's goal post.

After 25 minutes in which the home team achieved some ascendancy, Portimonense managed to loosen the ties and also threatened the opposing goal. On minute 26, Nakagima unmarked himself and shot hard, for a good defense by Moreira.

Until the end of the first-half, the goal situations would arise in one and another large area, but it was with a null that came to half-time.

In the second half, Portimonense celebrated the goal in the 54th minute, but the referee canceled Wellington's goal after watching the referee video.

From this moment on, Portimonense was losing steam in the attack and retreating to close to their penalty area, hoping to be able to surprise on the counterattack. Estoril took the opportunity to grow and tried hard, but failed to score.

In discounts, Portimonense was asked for a penalty, allegedly by a defender from Estoril, but the referee ordered it to continue. The game would end soon after, goalless.

A draw that allows Portimonense to reach the mark of six consecutive games without losing to the I League and that leaves Portimonense in the 10th position of the championship, with 16 points, when 13 games have been played.
