The Brit had won the first set 6-4 and had been a break ahead in the second before a comeback from his Portuguese opponent helped him claim it by the same scoreline.
It was a similar story in the third set as Evans was the first to strike before a comeback from the 30-year-old saw him claim it 7-5.
Evans rallied, taking the fourth set 6-4 but once again he let a break lead slip in the decider as Sousa moved into the second week.
