Sporting CP dominated possession with 70.8% compared to Gil Vicente's 29.2%. Despite the home side’s dominance in possession and shots (16 total), they only managed 3 shots on target, reflecting some inefficiency in their attack.

Sporting CP's goals came late in the game, with Maximiliano Araújo scoring in the 81st minute and Eduardo Quaresma netting the winner in the 93rd minute. Both teams were disciplined, committing 13 (Sporting CP) and 11 (Gil Vicente) fouls, and receiving 3 yellow cards each.
