League Play-Off

Estadio Tabosa
Spectators: 34 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) The sun was shining, the grass was green and the audience cheered when António Cunha got the match started through his kick off. Amadeu Aleixo took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Armando Silva, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. The audience was convinced that Armando Silva's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Amadeu Aleixo was relentless in the 4th minute of the game. Armando Silva fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 7th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Amadeu Aleixo having to interfere. After a rather tough play, Tabosa's Alexandre Freitas got a free kick in the 8th minute. A collision led to Tabosa getting a freekick after 11 minutes play. Óscar Alves hit a great ball. After a defensive mix-up in Tabosa's zone, Rui Rodrigues stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Amadeu Aleixo came out of the goal and Rui Rodrigues tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. After a rather tough play, Tabosa's António Cunha got a free kick in the 15th minute. Alufinha FC's Rui Rodrigues got a good chance for a goal in the 20th minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. Óscar Alves charged in rather forcefully in the 22nd minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Óscar Alves the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. An unexpectedly hard shot by Rui Rodrigues in the 36th minute of play forced Tabosa's goalkeeper Amadeu Aleixo to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. After 37 played minutes Tabosa got a freekick which was hit by Mariano Paredes. Armando Silva took the ball and in the 40 minute, shot a rapid shot to the right of a surprised Amadeu Aleixo. Amadeu Aleixo dived to the right, and did manage to get a hand on the shot, but it still went into the right corner making it 0-1. Lourenço Silva made an important save on a dangerous shot by Alexandre Paiva in the 44th minute. António Cunha struck a weak shot in the 46th minute. Lourenço Silva didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Tabosa. The crowd was extremely unhappy with the home team's performance in the first half. They were losing 0-1.

Lourenço Silva showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from António Cunha, who was totally free with the ball in the 55th minute. After some fancy dribbling in the 57th minute, André Almeida managed to get in a good position for a shot. Tabosa's supporters rose to their feet, but André Almeida was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Lourenço Silva breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. If António Cunha had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 59th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. A collision led to Tabosa getting a freekick after 67 minutes play. Vicente Magalhães hit a great ball. In the 70th minute, Rui Rodrigues got an opportunity to score, but he didn't get a solid hit on the ball and ended up kicking it wide of the goal. After having played for 77 minutes, Alexandre Paiva managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Tabosa's supporters crossed their fingers, but Alexandre Paiva was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. A collision led to Tabosa getting a freekick after 79 minutes play. Alexandre Freitas hit a great ball. Rui Rodrigues received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 81st minute. Amadeu Aleixo tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere.

Alexandre Paiva sent away a hard shot on goal in the 89th minute, but the ball hit the crossbar and went out. A very good chance for a goal.

Tabosa's Amadeu Aleixo proved his good apprehension of play when he, in the 94th minute of the match, managed to save Tabosa from getting a goal against them.
