League Play-Off

Estadio Zebreira
Spectators: 34 (Terracing: 26, 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. Mariano Pedroso started the match with the kick off. In the 6th minute the ball was on its way in behind Zebreira's goalkeeper Luís Martins, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. When Xavier Queirós fell near the penalty area in the 7th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Zebreira's protests and gave Xavier Queirós a yellow card for diving instead. After 7 played minutes Zebreira got a freekick which was hit by Xavier Queirós. In the 24thth minute of the game Alberto Barros who was perfectly placed tried to make a shot on goal, but Zebreira's Luís Martins was lucky and managed to grab hold of the ball. Mariano Pedroso sent away a hard shot on goal in the 29th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. 32 minutes into the match, Zebreira's goal looked a bit too open when Alberto Barros came free, but Luís Martins reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Mariano Pedroso received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 40th minute. André Nunes tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. The audience thought a goal was coming when Armindo Lisboa got free with André Nunes in the 47th minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort. The away team players looked dejected as the walked off the pitch at half time. They had fought hard, but were still losing 1-0.

56 minutes into the match, Sabuzedo's Mário Nascimento sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that Luís Martins narrowly saved just below the crossbar. If Armindo Lisboa had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 67th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Mariano Pedroso fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 73rd minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without André Nunes having to interfere. Armindo Lisboa scored 2-0 in the 76th match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of André Nunes, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. 82 minutes into the match, Zebreira's goal looked a bit too open when Mário Nascimento came free, but Luís Martins reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Miguel Queirós kicked well hit freekick during the 83rd minute of the match. Mário Nascimento might have been able to make a better finish in the 88th minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Luís Martins. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Mário Nascimento ran back to his position shaking his head. Luís Martins took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Mário Nascimento, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Zebreira's supporters were highly satisfied with the result. They cheered their team of the pitch, having watched them win a very even match.
