League Play-Off

Estadio Moaz
Spectators: 33 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Cláudio Valente started the match with the kick off. Manuel Mota received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 3rd minute. Amílcar Cruz tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Bernardo Matias made an important save on a dangerous shot by Paulo Brás in the 5th minute. Cláudio Valente received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 9th minute. Bernardo Matias tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Bento Castro hit a great freekick 15 minutes into the match. Rodrigo Dantas hit a great freekick 19 minutes into the match. 20 minutes into the match, SC Chamadouro's goal looked a bit too open when Cláudio Valente came free, but Bernardo Matias reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Paulo Brás who was well placed in front of the goal fired away a dangerous shot that in the 23rdth minute tested the skills of Bernardo Matias when he managed to save the team from getting behind. Paulo Brás's shot was meant for the net just under the crossbar, but Bernardo Matias read the situation well and was quickly in position to make a wonderful save in the 26th minute of play. Diogo Marques's late challenge caught a SC Chamadouro's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Diogo Marques helped the player get up and apologised. In the 32nd match minute, Moaz was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Diogo Marques to maneuver through the defense. Moaz's Amílcar Cruz played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Joaquim Gaspar in the 35th minute of play. Bernardo Matias showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Cláudio Valente in the 36th minute of the match. An unexpectedly hard shot by Cláudio Valente in the 38th minute of play forced SC Chamadouro's goalkeeper Bernardo Matias to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. André Esteves was probably a little too eager to shoot when he, in the 44th played minute, shot the ball from way out. The shot was hard, but the ball flew wide of the goal. When Moaz's Paulo Brás, in the 46th minute, received a pass right in front of the net, it looked like a certain goal, but his shot went outside. A wasted opportunity for Moaz. After the first half the score was level. The break gave the players a chance to catch their breath, whilst the managers went over the tactics with them again.

When the second half was about to start, both teams quickly lined up and Joaquim Gaspar made a kick off. An unexpectedly hard shot by Cláudio Valente in the 56th minute of play forced SC Chamadouro's goalkeeper Bernardo Matias to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. 56 minutes into the game, Pedro Vaz was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. SC Chamadouro's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave Moaz the free kick. A collision led to SC Chamadouro getting a freekick after 57 minutes play. Pedro Vaz hit a great ball. 63 minutes into the match, Cláudio Valente notched a goal, 1-0, to the right of SC Chamadouro's Bernardo Matias. Bernardo Matias was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. After having played for 68 minutes, Cláudio Valente managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Moaz's supporters crossed their fingers, but Cláudio Valente was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. Cláudio Valente 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. The audience thought a goal was coming when Manuel Mota got free with Amílcar Cruz in the 73rd minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort. After some fancy dribbling in the 74th minute, Paulo Brás managed to get in a good position for a shot. Moaz's supporters rose to their feet, but Paulo Brás was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Bernardo Matias breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. Amílcar Cruz made a fantastic save in the 79th minute, when Manuel Mota sent off a good shot on target. António Fernandes hit a great freekick 81 minutes into the match. In the 89th minute, Paulo Brás 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 a defensive mix-up in SC Chamadouro's zone, Cláudio Valente stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Bernardo Matias came out of the goal and Cláudio Valente tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play.
