League Play-Off

Estadio Raposa
Spectators: 33 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) Raposa's António Dias started the match with a crisp pass. The crowd had been anticipating this game for weeks and the excitement in the stadium was easily visible. António Dias received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 3rd minute. Eusébio Santarém tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. If Cristiano Moniz had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 11th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. 14 minutes in the game, António Dias fired away an excellent shot, which passed to the side of the right post without Eusébio Santarém having to interfere. When Filipe Moniz came up free with the goalie in the 16th minute, the Alcantarilha 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 Filipe Moniz couldn't finish the play. An unexpectedly hard shot by Filipe Moniz in the 19th minute of play forced Raposa's goalkeeper Eusébio Pinheiro to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. In the 22nd minute, Filipe Moniz ran past the defenders and hit a shot which went straight ahead into goal. Eusébio Pinheiro was frozen by the shot and now it was 0-1. With a little luck, Alcantarilha FC's Eusébio Santarém got control of the ball when Cristiano Moniz tried to sneak it across the goal line. António Dias 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. After having played for 39 minutes, Heitor Amaro managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Raposa's supporters crossed their fingers, but Heitor Amaro was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. 41 minutes into the match, Alcantarilha FC's goalkeeper Eusébio Santarém had to clear away a ball on his right side after a cunning shot by Cristiano Moniz. 42 minutes into the match, Alcantarilha FC's goal looked a bit too open when António Dias came free, but Eusébio Santarém reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. After 44 minutes of play, Alcantarilha FC's Filipe Moniz made it 1-2 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Eusébio Pinheiro was left in no man's land by his defense there! The Raposa players were disheartened as they walked off the pitch after the first half. Alcantarilha FC were winning 1-2.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Vítor Marques to make the kick off. António Dias recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 53rd minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. Eusébio Santarém made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Cristiano Moniz in the 60th minute of play. After a rather tough play, Alcantarilha FC's Fábio Paredes got a free kick in the 61st minute. After having played for 65 minutes, Filipe Moniz managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Alcantarilha FC's supporters crossed their fingers, but Filipe Moniz was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. Vítor Marques fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 70th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Eusébio Pinheiro having to interfere. In the 77th minute the ball was on its way in behind Alcantarilha FC's goalkeeper Eusébio Santarém, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. Vítor Marques sent away a hard shot on goal in the 90th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Augusto Faro hit a great freekick 92 minutes into the match. Raposa were clearly unhappy with the draw, as they felt they had done enough to earn themselves a victory.
