The hosts dominated most of the game and opened 3-0. The first two goals were scored by Spanish striker Fran Navarro. At 23, he received a good throw from the Brazilian Lucas Ferrugem, invaded the area and hit hard to open the scoring. At the beginning of the second stage, Navarro took advantage of the rebound to expand. Gil also expanded with Antoine Léautey.

However, the visitors grew in the end and threatened the party. Nélson Luz, after a pass from João Ferreira, scored with 10 minutes to go and Marcus Edwards extended it with a penalty in the 42nd minute. The same Edwards still ended up receiving the second yellow card in stoppage time.
