Estadio Tacoes
Spectators: 32 (Terracing: 25,
Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Hermínio Lousada took the kick off in the first half of the match. Lourenço Torcato stood for a superb save when he managed to get hold of Máximo Santana's shot from short distance in the 4th minute. António Fagundes fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 7th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without João Avelar having to interfere. If Hermínio Lousada had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 9th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. The audience thought a goal was coming when António Fagundes got free with João Avelar in the 11th minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort. After some fancy dribbling in the 14th minute, Tobias Colaço managed to get in a good position for a shot. Tacoes's supporters rose to their feet, but Tobias Colaço was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. João Avelar breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. If Mário Luz had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 17th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Lourenço Torcato took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Mário Luz, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. 22 minutes into the match, Tacoes's goal looked a bit too open when Mário Luz came free, but Lourenço Torcato reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. 25 minutes into the match, Mário Luz had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Lourenço Torcato. Tacoes's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Mário Luz was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 0-1. After having played for 35 minutes, Máximo Santana managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Negreiros FC's supporters crossed their fingers, but Máximo Santana was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. Luck had favoured the away team in the first, and they walked off with a 0-1 lead.
When the second half was about to start, both teams quickly lined up and Máximo Santana made a kick off. João Avelar showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Hermínio Lousada, who was totally free with the ball in the 53rd minute. 55 minutes into the match, Negreiros FC's goal looked a bit too open when António Fagundes came free, but João Avelar reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. 58 minutes into the match, Tacoes's goalkeeper Lourenço Torcato had to clear away a ball on his right side after a cunning shot by Mário Luz. If Máximo Santana had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 59th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Tobias Colaço's late challenge caught a Negreiros FC's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Tobias Colaço helped the player get up and apologised. After a rather tough play, Tacoes's Tobias Colaço got a free kick in the 60th minute. Lourenço Torcato showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Máximo Santana in the 61st minute of the match. Máximo Santana sent away a hard shot on goal in the 65th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. 68 minutes into the game, António Fagundes cracked a shot to the right of the goalkeeper, 1-1. João Avelar was not in position, and could only watch the ball fly in. Mário Luz struck a weak shot in the 71st minute. Lourenço Torcato didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Negreiros FC. In the 73rd minute the ball was on its way in behind Tacoes's goalkeeper Lourenço Torcato, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. After 75 played minutes, Negreiros FC's Sabino Durães shot from a long distance, and at first it looked like the ball was going into the goal, but the goalkeeper Lourenço Torcato came through and got his fingers on the ball before it flew over the goal line. He then quickly gripped the ball tighter before the forwards in Negreiros FC reached it. The referee blew the whistle for a penalty in the 77th minute of the game. One of Negreiros FC:s players had nearly got his shirt torn off by an opponent while getting free in front of Tacoes:s goal. In the 82nd minute Máximo Santana shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Lourenço Torcato saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Valter Maciel charged in rather forcefully in the 89th minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Valter Maciel the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. Valter Maciel kicked well hit freekick during the 89th minute of the match. Hermínio Lousada fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 91st minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without João Avelar having to interfere. Máximo Santana received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 96th minute. Lourenço Torcato tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. The audience was convinced that Máximo Santana's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Lourenço Torcato was relentless in the 98th minute of the game. The final whistle blew with the score still tied, and both teams left the pitch thinking about the missed chances that could have given their team the win.
