U21 World League

Estádio do Minho
Spectators: 7702 (Terracing: 5778, Seating: 1771, VIP seats: 153) The sun was shining, the grass was green and the audience cheered when Silvio Ishmael got the match started through his kick off. 10 minutes into the match, Florida United's goal looked a bit too open when Hildeberto Vieira came free, but Rodrigo Sandaili reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. In the 13th minute Silvio Ishmael shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Jairo Calçada saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Minho FC's Jairo Calçada played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Silvio Ishmael in the 13th minute of play. When Marcelo Casomiro fell near the penalty area in the 18th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Florida United's protests and gave Marcelo Casomiro a yellow card for diving instead. In the 22nd minute Lisandro Leite shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Rodrigo Sandaili saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Saúl Passos hit a great freekick 28 minutes into the match. In the 30th minute Guido Primo shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Jairo Calçada saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. In the 35th minute, Silvio Ishmael left the goalkeeper for dead before tapping the ball into the right side of the net. The Florida United fans were clearly happy with the effort and the scoreboard reflected the new score: 0-1. Álvaro Dantas's late challenge caught a Florida United's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Álvaro Dantas helped the player get up and apologised. After 38 played minutes Minho FC got a freekick which was hit by Álvaro Dantas. Jairo Calçada took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Lino Txartiko, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Disappointed in the 0-1 score, the home team went to the dressing room to adjust tactics for the second half.

The players of the home team were most fresh-looking when they entered the field to play the second half. Lisandro Leite was the one to do the kick off. If Guido Primo had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 50th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. After a rather tough play, Florida United's Marcelo Casomiro got a free kick in the 52nd minute. Lino Txartiko kicked well hit freekick during the 67th minute of the match. Daniel Sacadura hit a great freekick 69 minutes into the match. When the match had been going on for 70 minutes Guido Primo shot a great shot from long distance. It looked like a certain goal, but the audience witnessed a really smashing save by Jairo Calçada when he caught the ball only just under the crossbar. The crowd rose to their feet as Silvio Ishmael kicked a wonderful shot that went in to the left of a diving Jairo Calçada. That made the score 0-2 in the 71 minute of play. Lisandro Leite scored 1-3 in the 86th match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Rodrigo Sandaili, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. Salvador Dei hit a great freekick 89 minutes into the match. The Florida United players were relieved to hear the final whistle blow to end the match. The away crowd was happy to see their team win after a very tight game.
