League Play-Off

Estadio Cantanhede
Spectators: 35 (Terracing: 27, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Carlos Valente started the match with the kick off. In the 4th minute of the match, Rafael Andrade tried to roll the ball into the goal by the right post, but Domingos Pedroso saw his intentions and got control of the ball before it passed the line. After 6 minutes SC Carramanha's defender was forced to head the ball over the line for a corner. It was Fabrício Lousada who took care of the corner kick. A nice corner shot did that Fabrício Lousada got away a dangerous shot. Despite this Domingos Pedroso quite easily got ahold of the ball to make the save. Rafael Andrade struck a weak shot in the 7th minute. Domingos Pedroso didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for ACR Comeira. After a defensive mix-up in ACR Comeira's zone, Gil Moniz stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Rubim Coelho came out of the goal and Gil Moniz tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. Gil Moniz struck a weak shot in the 14th minute. Rubim Coelho didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for SC Carramanha. Carlos Valente sent away a hard shot on goal in the 16th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. When Gil Moniz came up free with the goalie in the 17th minute, the SC Carramanha fans jumped to their feet. But the shot missed the goal by a fraction of an inch, and the fans sat back down disappointed that Gil Moniz couldn't finish the play. In the 19th match minute, SC Carramanha was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by André Ribeiro to maneuver through the defense. In the 22nd minute, Israel Brites got an opportunity to score, but he didn't get a solid hit on the ball and ended up kicking it wide of the goal. 33 minutes into the match, ACR Comeira's goal looked a bit too open when Carlos Valente came free, but Rubim Coelho reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Simão Pinheiro's late challenge caught a ACR Comeira's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Simão Pinheiro helped the player get up and apologised. Israel Brites who was well placed in front of the goal fired away a dangerous shot that in the 45thth minute tested the skills of Domingos Pedroso when he managed to save the team from getting behind. ACR Comeira's Francisco Estrela quite brazenly broke a throw-in by Rogério Vaz, made in the 47th minute of the game. When the referee blew for the end of the half the home team players were clearly happier, as they went in to the break leading 1-0.

The wind increased when Israel Brites made the kick off in the second half. 52 minutes into the match, SC Carramanha's Carlos Valente sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that Rubim Coelho narrowly saved just below the crossbar. Israel Brites received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 62nd minute. Domingos Pedroso tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. If Jairo Benevides had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 64th minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. SC Carramanha's Domingos Pedroso played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Rafael Andrade in the 66th minute of play. With a little luck, ACR Comeira's Rubim Coelho got control of the ball when Gil Moniz tried to sneak it across the goal line. The audience thought a goal was coming when Pedro Tavares got free with Rubim Coelho in the 69th minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort. Alberto Madeira took a chance and fired a shot far from the goal in the 74th minute, but it turned out to be a dangerous situation for Domingos Pedroso. SC Carramanha's goalkeeper really had to stretch himself to stop the ball from crossing the goal line. In the 82nd minute of the match Fabrício Lousada shot from a long distance. The ball could have gone into the goal to the right of the goalkeeper, but Domingos Pedroso showed his good shape when he easily got hold of the ball. 83 minutes into the match, ACR Comeira's goal looked a bit too open when Carlos Valente came free, but Rubim Coelho reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. After having played for 84 minutes, Gil Moniz managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. SC Carramanha's supporters crossed their fingers, but Gil Moniz was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. Simão Pinheiro kicked well hit freekick during the 87th minute of the match. After some careless play in the SC Carramanha defense, Israel Brites kicked a shot that curved into the net to the right of Domingos Pedroso. The SC Carramanha fans voiced their displeasure as they felt that Domingos Pedroso should have stopped the shot. Thanks to some nice foot action and superb ball handling Carlos Valente in the 97th minute a chance for a shot on goal. With an extended leg and a bit of luck Rubim Coelho prevented the ball from getting in the gole. The crowd rose to their feet and cheered when the referee blew the final whistle. ACR Comeira had won after a very even match.
