The contest grew increasingly combative, particularly for the visitors. Casa Pia saw early bookings for Rafael Brito on 26 minutes and a double caution spell at 40 minutes for Álvaro Pacheco and Ivan Mandić, underlining the pressure the away side were under. Gil Vicente collected their own cards, with José Carlos cautioned just before the break and Zé Carlos following on 63 minutes.

The decisive moment arrived in the 73rd minute, when Gil Vicente were awarded a penalty. Murilo again took responsibility and converted, restoring the home side’s lead at 2–1. Casa Pia responded with a flurry of substitutions from the 74th minute onward, introducing Abdu Conté and Dailon Rocha Livramento, and later Claudio Mendes, Lawrence Ofori and Sebastián Pérez in search of an equaliser.

Gil Vicente head coach turned to his bench as well, bringing on Agustin Moreira and Gustavo Varela just after the hour, followed by Heverton Santos, Sergio Bermejo and Antonio Espigares to help protect the narrow lead. Late yellow cards for Gil Vicente players Daniel Figueira, Varela and Espigares in the closing minutes reflected a nervy finish as the hosts held firm.

Beyond the goals, bookings and substitutions, further match statistics and detailed play-by-play events were not available at the time of writing. The result nonetheless marks a valuable home victory for Gil Vicente in the Primeira Liga run-in.
