Armacenenses moved to Pinhalnovense, the team that is in the top places, and was defeated by 4-1. The Algarve were losing 4-0 when they scored the only goal of honor, by Camará (90+4′).
Esperança de Lagos also had bad luck when traveling to the Lusitano de Évora field. The lacobrigense team lost 3-1, but remains above the waterline. The goal in the Algarve was scored by Jorge Teixeira (85′).
