League Play-Off

Corujeiro
Spectators: 34 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Emílio Branco took the kick off in the first half of the match. Corujeiro FC's Xavier Abreu played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Emílio Branco in the 18th minute of play. António Leite charged in rather forcefully in the 18th minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed António Leite the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. After 19 played minutes Corujeiro FC got a freekick which was hit by António Leite. 1-0 became the score in the 24th minute when Nuno Coelho elegantly shot the ball into goal just under the crossbar. Nuno Coelho sent away a hard shot on goal in the 32nd minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. A collision led to Corujeiro FC getting a freekick after 37 minutes play. Cristiano Baptista hit a great ball. If Nuno Coelho had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 47th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead.

The players of the away team seemed most concentrated when Ricardo Trindade stepped up to make the kick off in the second half. 53 minutes into the match, Corujeiro FC's goal looked a bit too open when Emílio Branco came free, but Xavier Abreu reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. 55 minutes into the match, Ricardo Trindade notched a goal, 2-0, to the right of SC Oura's Américo Pinho. Américo Pinho was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. If Alberto Brás had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 61st minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Emílio Branco recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 64th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. António Leite scored 3-1 in the 72nd match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Américo Pinho, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. Ricardo Trindade kicked well hit freekick during the 75th minute of the match. An unexpectedly hard shot by Ricardo Trindade in the 80th minute of play forced SC Oura's goalkeeper Américo Pinho to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. After having played for 85 minutes, Ricardo Trindade managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Corujeiro FC's supporters crossed their fingers, but Ricardo Trindade was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. Ricardo Trindade fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 94th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Américo Pinho having to interfere. For all the effort they put into the match, the SC Oura players left disappointed. They had fought hard, but couldn't break down the home team's defense. The match ended in a win for Corujeiro FC.
