League Play-Off

Estadio Tabuadela
Spectators: 32 (Terracing: 25, 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. Alfredo Pires started the match with the kick off. David Mota showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Gualter Vaz in the 10th minute of the match. If Manuel Cunha had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 11th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. SC Pousadinhas's Carlos Viegas couldn't find anyone to pass the ball to, so he shot a long shot towards the goal in the 17th minute. The shot went wide which resulted in a goal kick for SC Tabuadela. If Mariano Gomes had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 20th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Alfredo Pires sent away a hard shot on goal in the 22nd minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Mariano Gomes struck a weak shot in the 26th minute. Ricardo Leiria didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for SC Pousadinhas. After a defensive mix-up in SC Tabuadela's zone, Mariano Gomes stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Ricardo Leiria came out of the goal and Mariano Gomes tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. Gualter Vaz recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 39th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. David Mota was out of position in the 42 minute of play, and Gualter Vaz capitalized on the mistake with a soft shot into the goal. Gualter Vaz really showed his touch with that goal: 1-0. Mariano Gomes received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 48th minute. Ricardo Leiria tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Gualter Vaz to make the kick off. SC Pousadinhas's David Mota played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Gualter Vaz in the 53rd minute of play. Mariano Gomes received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 55th minute. Ricardo Leiria tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. If Artur Moniz had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 63rd minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. After some fancy dribbling in the 66th minute, Alfredo Pires managed to get in a good position for a shot. SC Pousadinhas's supporters rose to their feet, but Alfredo Pires was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Ricardo Leiria breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. After 80 played minutes SC Pousadinhas got a freekick which was hit by André Viegas. When Manuel Cunha came up free with the goalie in the 82nd minute, the SC Tabuadela fans jumped to their feet. But the shot missed the goal by a fraction of an inch, and the fans sat back down disappointed that Manuel Cunha couldn't finish the play. In the 83rd minute, Artur Moniz hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. In the 87th minute, Gualter Vaz ran past the defenders and hit a shot which went straight ahead into goal. David Mota was frozen by the shot and now it was 2-1. 91 minutes into the match, SC Pousadinhas's goal looked a bit too open when Gualter Vaz came free, but David Mota reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. A collision led to SC Pousadinhas getting a freekick after 91 minutes play. Alfredo Pires hit a great ball. The supporters of SC Pousadinhas booed when SC Tabuadela was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 96 match minutes in a wonderful position. Angélico Macieira didn't get a good kick on the ball.
