League Play-Off

Estadio SHIELD
Spectators: 32 (Terracing: 25, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) The mood of the audience was pleasant when Daniel Cruz made the kick off which started today's match. Eusébio Delgado came out of the goal in the 7th minute to try and stop a shot by BlueBananas's Alfredo Sales. But to his dismay, Alfredo Sales quickly shot the ball in between his legs and into the goal making it 1-0. If Adelino Mourato had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 10th minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. Filipe Passos took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Júlio Faro, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. After a rather tough play, Torre's Cristiano Cruz got a free kick in the 18th minute. In the 24th match minute, BlueBananas was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Altino Regueira to maneuver through the defense. In the 29th minute the ball was on its way in behind Torre's goalkeeper Eusébio Delgado, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. Alfredo Sales's late challenge caught a Torre's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Alfredo Sales helped the player get up and apologised. In the 36th minute, Alfredo Sales hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. After 39 played minutes, BlueBananas's Altino Regueira shot from a long distance, and at first it looked like the ball was going into the goal, but the goalkeeper Eusébio Delgado came through and got his fingers on the ball before it flew over the goal line. He then quickly gripped the ball tighter before the forwards in BlueBananas reached it. 41 minutes into the match, Nuno Reis notched a goal, 2-1, to the right of BlueBananas's Filipe Passos. Filipe Passos was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it.

Cristiano Cruz hit a great freekick 54 minutes into the match. In the 58th minute, Daniel Cruz left the goalkeeper for dead before tapping the ball into the right side of the net. The BlueBananas fans were clearly happy with the effort and the scoreboard reflected the new score: 3-1. Adelino Mourato might have been able to make a better finish in the 61st minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Eusébio Delgado. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Adelino Mourato ran back to his position shaking his head. In the 77th minute, Daniel Cruz ran past the defenders and hit a shot which went straight ahead into goal. Eusébio Delgado was frozen by the shot and now it was 5-1. After 81 minutes of play, Torre's Nuno Reis made it 5-2 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Filipe Passos was left in no man's land by his defense there! Eusébio Delgado showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Daniel Cruz in the 87th minute of the match. After some fancy dribbling in the 92nd minute, Daniel Cruz managed to get in a good position for a shot. BlueBananas's supporters rose to their feet, but Daniel Cruz was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Eusébio Delgado breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. BlueBananas's supporters were highly satisfied with the result. They cheered their team of the pitch, having watched them win a very even match.
