Sagrada Esperança beat CD Sao Salvador 3-1 in the Girabola, taking the lead just before half-time and then responding well after conceding early in the second half. A strong opening goal gave them the platform, and they made sure of the points with a late third.
Mafuta put Sagrada ahead in the 45th minute, and they held that lead into the break. CD Sao Salvador levelled four minutes after the restart, but Sagrada struck again in the 64th minute to move back in front, before Melono Dala sealed the win in the 90th.
With no detailed match statistics available, the decisive moments were the two quick-fire responses in the second half, plus Melono Dala's stoppage-time clincher after Sagrada had been pegged back to 1-1.
