Sinagoga
Spectators: 32 (Terracing: 25, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) The sun was shining, the grass was green and the audience cheered when Nuno Freitas got the match started through his kick off. After some fancy dribbling in the 5th minute, Sandro Anjos managed to get in a good position for a shot. SC Touvedo's supporters rose to their feet, but Sandro Anjos was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Daniel Correia breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. In the 9thth minute of the game Nuno Freitas who was perfectly placed tried to make a shot on goal, but Sinagoga FC's Daniel Correia was lucky and managed to grab hold of the ball. When the match had gone on for 14 minutes, Artur Pereira put it in 1-0 from a short distance just to the right of Emanuel Figueiredo. After a defensive mix-up in Sinagoga FC's zone, Sandro Anjos stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Daniel Correia came out of the goal and Sandro Anjos 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, Sinagoga FC's Fernando Fontes got a free kick in the 23rd minute. Daniel Correia showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Nuno Freitas in the 26th minute of the match. After a rather tough play, SC Touvedo's André Mendes got a free kick in the 30th minute. 31 minutes into the match, Rogério Viana notched a goal, 2-0, to the right of SC Touvedo's Emanuel Figueiredo. Emanuel Figueiredo was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. If Nuno Freitas had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 35th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Joaquim Lisboa sent away a hard shot on goal in the 37th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. The away team players looked dejected as the walked off the pitch at half time. They had fought hard, but were still losing 2-0.

The wind increased when Rogério Viana made the kick off in the second half. In the 55th minute Nuno Freitas shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Daniel Correia saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Daniel Correia was a little too slow when Nuno Freitas got a fine hit on the ball which went right into the goal in the 71st minute. The score was now 2-1. Sinagoga FC's Rogério Viana got a good chance for a goal in the 75th minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. Joaquim Lisboa scored 3-1 in the 77th match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Emanuel Figueiredo, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. Rogério Viana's late challenge caught a SC Touvedo's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Rogério Viana helped the player get up and apologised. A collision led to Sinagoga FC getting a freekick after 80 minutes play. Rogério Viana hit a great ball. The audience was convinced that Nuno Freitas's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Daniel Correia was relentless in the 81st minute of the game. Thanks to some nice foot action and superb ball handling Rogério Viana in the 84th minute a chance for a shot on goal. With an extended leg and a bit of luck Emanuel Figueiredo prevented the ball from getting in the gole. In the 86th minute Rogério Viana shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Emanuel Figueiredo saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Rogério Viana scored 4-1 in the 92nd match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Emanuel Figueiredo, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. Joaquim Lisboa sent away a hard shot on goal in the 97th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. For all the effort they put into the match, the SC Touvedo players left disappointed. They had fought hard, but couldn't break down the home team's defense. The match ended in a win for Sinagoga FC.
