League Play-Off

Campainha
Spectators: 34 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Manuel Brito took the kick off in the first half of the match. If Fábio Jesus had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 7th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. The supporters of Landeiro booed when Campainha FC was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 11 match minutes in a wonderful position. Ricardo Lima didn't get a good kick on the ball. An unexpectedly hard shot by Armando Andrade in the 15th minute of play forced Campainha FC's goalkeeper João Marques to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Armando Andrade received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 16th minute. João Marques tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Fábio Jesus recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 26th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. After 29 minutes, Nuno Gaspar mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Landeiro and the Campainha FC players grew even worse after the yellow card. Lourenço Almeida acted impressively in front of the goal and made a superb save when he, in the 29th minute, took the ball on the long shot from André Assunção. 31 minutes into the match, Eduardo Branco dribbled the ball past the defender and swiftly kicked the ball to the left of Lourenço Almeida, 1-1. The fans had the chance to grab some refreshments as the whistle went for half-time. The score stood at 1-1 after a close first half.

The players of the home team were most fresh-looking when they entered the field to play the second half. Eduardo Branco was the one to do the kick off. In the 54th minute of the match Campainha FC got a corner. Landeiro's goalie ran out to the linesman to protest the call, but the linesman resolutely pointed his flag at the cornerflag. André Assunção ran over to the corner to take the kick. The corner led Campainha FC's André Assunção to fire away a dangerous shot which Lourenço Almeida despite some difficulties managed to get hold on the ball. A hard and well directed shot from André Assunção led 54 minutes into the game to a goal after the ball had bounced deceptively just in front of the goal. Landeiro's Lourenço Almeida became a little unsure and couldn't grip the ball before it was over the goalline. Thus it was 2-1. Fábio Jesus received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 57th minute. Lourenço Almeida tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Campainha FC's Fábio Jesus got a good chance for a goal in the 60th minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. If Eduardo Branco had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 62nd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Fábio Jesus received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 67th minute. Lourenço Almeida tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Manuel Brito fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 74th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without João Marques having to interfere. When Fábio Jesus came up free with the goalie in the 85th minute, the Campainha FC fans jumped to their feet. But the shot missed the goal by a fraction of an inch, and the fans sat back down disappointed that Fábio Jesus couldn't finish the play. Lourenço Almeida showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Eduardo Branco, who was totally free with the ball in the 87th minute. João Marques made a fantastic save in the 90th minute, when Armando Andrade sent off a good shot on target. Vítor Santos's late challenge caught a Landeiro's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Vítor Santos helped the player get up and apologised. A collision led to Campainha FC getting a freekick after 91 minutes play. Vítor Santos hit a great ball. Afonso Faro, 92 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. After a defensive mix-up in Campainha FC's zone, Manuel Brito stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. João Marques came out of the goal and Manuel Brito tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play.
