League Play-Off

Jesufrei
Spectators: 32 (Terracing: 25, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Domingos Moreira kicked off to start the match. In the 5th match minute, Jesufrei was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Rui Oliveira to maneuver through the defense. After a rather tough play, Conlelas's Ricardo Barros got a free kick in the 11th minute. Miguel Tavares might have been able to make a better finish in the 12th minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Pedro Leão. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Miguel Tavares ran back to his position shaking his head. In the 15th minute, Amadeu Leiria 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. The audience was convinced that Rodrigo Rodrigues's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Pedro Leão was relentless in the 26th minute of the game. After having played for 30 minutes, Amadeu Leiria managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Jesufrei's supporters crossed their fingers, but Amadeu Leiria was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. Conlelas's Pedro Leão proved his good apprehension of play when he, in the 32nd minute of the match, managed to save Conlelas from getting a goal against them. Amadeu Leiria received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 34th minute. Pedro Leão tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. If Álvaro Lima had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 37th minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. Jorge Assis showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Domingos Moreira, who was totally free with the ball in the 38th minute. 39 minutes into the game, João Gueifão was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. Jesufrei's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave Conlelas the free kick. In the 39th minute, João Gueifão hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. In the 44th minute Rodrigo Rodrigues shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Pedro Leão saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Jesufrei's Jorge Assis played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Domingos Moreira in the 47th minute of play.

The hometeam waved at the audience when it was time for Rodrigo Rodrigues to strike the kick off in the second half. A collision led to Conlelas getting a freekick after 51 minutes play. Ricardo Barros hit a great ball. Amadeu Leiria received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 58th minute. Pedro Leão tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Álvaro Lima blasted a shot towards the goal in the 63rd minute, but the shot hit the top of the crossbar and went out without Jorge Assis having to make a save. Jesufrei's Jorge Assis played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Domingos Moreira in the 65th minute of play. 66 minutes into the match, Conlelas's Domingos Moreira sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that Jorge Assis narrowly saved just below the crossbar. In the 72nd minute Rodrigo Rodrigues shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Pedro Leão saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Rodrigo Rodrigues struck a weak shot in the 82nd minute. Pedro Leão didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Jesufrei. Rodrigo Rodrigues sent away a hard shot on goal in the 84th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. With a couple of smart ball manuevers Domingos Moreira in the 88th managed to get into a good position. With a left leg Jorge Assis saved Jesufrei from getting behind. The audience was convinced that Domingos Moreira's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Jorge Assis was relentless in the 89th minute of the game. After 89 played minutes Jesufrei got a freekick which was hit by Jorge Baptista. In the 92nd minute, Amadeu Leiria made a precise shot to the right of Pedro Leão. Conlelas's defense was at fault, and the scoreboard reflected the new score, 1-0. 96 minutes into the match, Jesufrei's goalkeeper Jorge Assis had to clear away a ball on his right side after a cunning shot by Álvaro Lima. Jesufrei walked away with a well-earned victory that was much celebrated by the crowd.
