In 13 matches, Eugénio Lima finally made a win over Travadores, the club once powerful now lost most of that strength, the result was 1-2. Eugênio Lima met Sporting on February 23 for a win instead of a loss, instead, a goal draw was made with that club and their chances to remain in the division started to slim a bit, more than Tira Chapéu's as their positions slumped to last place. At round 18, a back to back win (third overall) was made as they defeated Ribeira Grande 1-2 and their point total became 11 etching a chance to remain in the Premier Division and became 11th place.
