Haraky Skorpion Ko
Spectators: 32 (Terracing: 25, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) The mood of the audience was pleasant when João Tristão made the kick off which started today's match. Ricardo Vilarinho's late challenge caught a SkorpionKo's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Ricardo Vilarinho helped the player get up and apologised. The supporters of SkorpionKo booed when Lameiros was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 4 match minutes in a wonderful position. Ricardo Vilarinho didn't get a good kick on the ball. If Carlos Valadão had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 7th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. The audience thought a goal was coming when Cássio Luz got free with Jerónimo Nascimento in the 9th minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort. Jairo Pinto kicked well hit freekick during the 10th minute of the match. SkorpionKo's Ivan Pires played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Raul Vilhena in the 11th minute of play. After a rather tough play, Lameiros's Ricardo Vilarinho got a free kick in the 14th minute. Jerónimo Nascimento stood for a superb save when he managed to get hold of Carlos Valadão's shot from short distance in the 16th minute. Carlos Valadão kicked well hit freekick during the 22nd minute of the match. João Tristão received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 27th minute. Ivan Pires tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Carlos Valadão charged in rather forcefully in the 31st minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Carlos Valadão the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. In the 44th minute João Tristão shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Ivan Pires saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. The crowd was extremely unhappy with the home team's performance in the first half. They were losing 0-1.

When the second half was about to start, both teams quickly lined up and Carlos Valadão made a kick off. After a rather tough play, SkorpionKo's Silvério Conde got a free kick in the 53rd minute. Ivan Pires acted impressively in front of the goal and made a superb save when he, in the 54th minute, took the ball on the long shot from Pedro Mesquita. Carlos Valadão blasted a shot towards the goal in the 56th minute, but the shot hit the top of the crossbar and went out without Jerónimo Nascimento having to make a save. Vítor Vilalobos kicked well hit freekick during the 59th minute of the match. In the 63rd match minute, Lameiros was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Ricardo Vilarinho to maneuver through the defense. An unexpectedly hard shot by Cássio Luz in the 65th minute of play forced Lameiros's goalkeeper Jerónimo Nascimento to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Carlos Valadão hit a great freekick 69 minutes into the match. In the 76th minute, Reginaldo Antas hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. In the 78thth minute of the game João Tristão who was perfectly placed tried to make a shot on goal, but SkorpionKo's Ivan Pires was lucky and managed to grab hold of the ball. Jerónimo Nascimento took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Carlos Valadão, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. The audience thought a goal was coming when Raul Vilhena got free with Ivan Pires in the 88th minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort. João Tristão sent away a hard shot on goal in the 89th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Raul Vilhena recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 91st minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. The referee blew the final whistle, and the away crowd roared, having watched Lameiros eke out a victory against a very well matched opponent.
