In a tightly contested match, SCU Torreense narrowly defeated CD Mafra with a single goal scored just after the hour mark in the second half. The game was characterized by its physicality, as evidenced by the high number of yellow cards, with Mafra receiving five and Torreense four. This aggressive approach appeared to disrupt the flow and composure of Mafra, leading to costly fouls and subsequent yellow cards concentrated early and just after the break.

While both teams demonstrated a balanced offensive approach, Mafra's discipline issues, highlighted by their excessive fouling, heavily impacted their ability to maintain a cohesive attack. Despite earning more corner kicks with a count of 10 compared to Torreense's 8, Mafra was unable to capitalize on these opportunities, often stifled by the home team’s defensive organization and quick adaptations.

Torreense’s teamwork shone through their ability to maintain defensive solidity while capitalizing on Mafra's indiscipline. Their goal, scored in the second half, illustrates their efficient shot-taking, seizing opportunities in a match with limited shots on target for both sides. Mafra’s failure to convert set pieces and their struggle to break through Torreense's defense were crucial factors leading to their inability to reverse or equalize the scoreline. This match underscores the significance of discipline and efficiency in capitalizing on limited chances.
