League Play-Off

Parelhal
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. Nuno Coimbra started the match with the kick off. Filipe Monteiro charged in rather forcefully in the 3rd minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Filipe Monteiro the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. In the 4th minute, Filipe Monteiro hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. The SC Parelhal fans' excitement grew in the 5th match minute when SC Parelhal's Francisco Vale looked to have a clear shot with the ball near the goal. The shot wasn't hard, but the ball still rolled over the goal line to make it 1-0 before the goalkeeper had a chance to intervene. If Marco Gonçalves had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 24th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Pedro Melo made a fantastic save in the 29th minute, when Francisco Vale sent off a good shot on target. In the 31st minute the ball was on its way in behind SC Parelhal's goalkeeper Duarte Assis, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. In the 38th match minute, SC Parelhal was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Marco Gonçalves to maneuver through the defense. Duarte Assis showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Nuno Coimbra in the 39th minute of the match. When Nuno Coimbra came up free with the goalie in the 43rd minute, the SC Carril 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 Nuno Coimbra couldn't finish the play. Francisco Vale received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 45th minute. Pedro Melo tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. An unexpected shot in the 47th minute by Marco Gonçalves got the crowd on their feet, but to their dismay it went out on the left side. No-one was surprised that the home team were leading 3-0 at half-time.

The players of the home team were most fresh-looking when they entered the field to play the second half. Marco Gonçalves was the one to do the kick off. If António Matos had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 55th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. After a rather tough play, SC Parelhal's Rui Setúbal got a free kick in the 56th minute. Marco Gonçalves fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 60th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Pedro Melo having to interfere. After some fancy dribbling in the 62nd minute, António Matos managed to get in a good position for a shot. SC Carril's supporters rose to their feet, but António Matos was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Duarte Assis breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. Diogo Antunes charged in rather forcefully in the 77th minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Diogo Antunes the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. After a rather tough play, SC Parelhal's Diogo Antunes got a free kick in the 77th minute. After 78 played minutes, SC Carril's Afonso Leão shot from a long distance, and at first it looked like the ball was going into the goal, but the goalkeeper Duarte Assis 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 SC Carril reached it. A hard shot 80 in the game by António Matos from a close distance when the talented Duarte Assis managed to make a qualified save. SC Parelhal's players were relieved. Pedro Melo made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Marco Gonçalves in the 82nd minute of play. Francisco Vale received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 88th minute. Pedro Melo tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Marco Gonçalves took the ball and in the 90 minute, shot a rapid shot to the right of a surprised Pedro Melo. Pedro Melo dived to the right, and did manage to get a hand on the shot, but it still went into the right corner making it 4-0. An unexpectedly hard shot by Nuno Coimbra in the 95th minute of play forced SC Parelhal's goalkeeper Duarte Assis to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball.
