League Play-Off

Oura
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. Mário Freitas started the match with the kick off. If Lucas Araújo had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 14th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Mário Freitas sent away a hard shot on goal in the 18th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. In the 20th minute, Ricardo Cunha hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Paulo Sá, 21 minutes into the match, dribbled the ball up the side of the field and decided to take a long shot at the goal. Unfortunately, the ball was poorly hit and landed closer to the corner than to the goal. Lucas Araújo took the ball and in the 24 minute, shot a rapid shot to the right of a surprised Viriato Reis. Viriato Reis dived to the right, and did manage to get a hand on the shot, but it still went into the right corner making it 1-0. Lucas Araújos short, quick shot in the 26thth minute got Viriato Reis to make great effort and bar the ball away from getting in. Oura's António Amaro played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Mário Freitas in the 32nd minute of play. Mário Freitas scored 1-1 in the 32nd match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of António Amaro, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. António Amaro made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Mário Freitas in the 41st minute of play. If Mário Freitas had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 44th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. 46 minutes into the match, Almaca's Mário Freitas sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that António Amaro narrowly saved just below the crossbar. In the 48th minute the ball was on its way in behind Oura's goalkeeper António Amaro, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. The score stood at 1-1 when the half time whistle went. Both sets of players seemed reasonably pleased with how the match was going.

António Amaro showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Mário Freitas, who was totally free with the ball in the 60th minute. Lucas Araújo sent away a hard shot on goal in the 62nd minute, but the ball hit the crossbar and went out. A very good chance for a goal. 63 minutes into the match, Lucas Araújo had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Viriato Reis. Almaca's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Lucas Araújo was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 3-1. After some fancy dribbling in the 85th minute, Rogério Gomes managed to get in a good position for a shot. Almaca's supporters rose to their feet, but Rogério Gomes was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. António Amaro breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. In the 87thth minute of the game Mário Freitas who was perfectly placed tried to make a shot on goal, but Oura's António Amaro was lucky and managed to grab hold of the ball. Oura's António Amaro proved his good apprehension of play when he, in the 90th minute of the match, managed to save Oura from getting a goal against them. 95 minutes into the match, Almaca's goal looked a bit too open when João Silva came free, but Viriato Reis reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. The crowd rose to their feet and cheered when the referee blew the final whistle. Oura had won after a very even match.
