League Play-Off

Daspera
Spectators: 33 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Duarte Dantas kicked off to start the match. The supporters of Mouchinha booed when Daspera FC was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 3 match minutes in a wonderful position. Alexandre Branco didn't get a good kick on the ball. After some fancy dribbling in the 7th minute, Alexandre Branco managed to get in a good position for a shot. Daspera FC's supporters rose to their feet, but Alexandre Branco was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Rafael Resende breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. Henrique Correia might have been able to make a better finish in the 10th minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Pedro Assunção. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Henrique Correia ran back to his position shaking his head. After 21 played minutes Daspera FC got a freekick which was hit by Óscar Coimbra. Joaquim Morais was probably a little too eager to shoot when he, in the 22nd played minute, shot the ball from way out. The shot was hard, but the ball flew wide of the goal. When Bruno Magalhães fell near the penalty area in the 23rd minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Daspera FC's protests and gave Bruno Magalhães a yellow card for diving instead. Pedro Assunção showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Duarte Dantas, who was totally free with the ball in the 27th minute. Daspera FC's Pedro Assunção played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Duarte Dantas in the 30th minute of play. Henrique Correia fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 31st minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Pedro Assunção having to interfere. Mouchinha's defense didn't have a chance, in the 37th minute, when Nuno Barbosa scored to the left of an out of position Rafael Resende, making the score, 1-0. After a defensive mix-up in Daspera FC's zone, Duarte Dantas stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Pedro Assunção came out of the goal and Duarte Dantas tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. Viriato Teixeira kicked well hit freekick during the 43rd minute of the match. Af the end of the first half the score was 1-0. The first half had gone as expected for the home team.

The wind increased when Nuno Barbosa made the kick off in the second half. Rafael Resende showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Nuno Barbosa in the 55th minute of the match. With his leg Pedro Assunção managed to avoid a goal in the 56thth minute, when Mouchinha's Henrique Correia fired away a shot with a lot of spin towards his right hand side. If Henrique Correia had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 57th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. In the 59th minute, Bruno Magalhães hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Duarte Dantas struck a weak shot in the 62nd minute. Pedro Assunção didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Mouchinha. Henrique Correia fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 67th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Pedro Assunção having to interfere. Henrique Correia sent away a hard shot on goal in the 70th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Nuno Barbosa fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 73rd minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Rafael Resende having to interfere. 76 minutes into the game, Daspera FC's Nuno Barbosa nearly tore a hole in the net with a booming shot. Rafael Resende made a valiant effort, but he could not reach the ball in time, 2-0. After a rather tough play, Mouchinha's Heitor Figueiredo got a free kick in the 80th minute.
