League Play-Off

Gondalaes
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. Adelino Miranda started the match with the kick off. An unexpectedly hard shot by Gaspar Borba in the 4th minute of play forced Gondalaes FC's goalkeeper Pedro Amorim to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Pedro Amorim took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Gaspar Borba, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. The audience was convinced that Adelino Miranda's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Pedro Moura was relentless in the 16th minute of the game. After a defensive mix-up in Gondalaes FC's zone, Gaspar Borba stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Pedro Amorim came out of the goal and Gaspar Borba tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. When Pesinho FC's José Freitas in the 24th minute got a chance for a shot 24th didn't hesitate and placed the ball to the right of the goalie. A beautiful save bye Gondalaes FC's goalie prevented a goal. With a little luck, Pesinho FC's Pedro Moura got control of the ball when Rogério Brito tried to sneak it across the goal line. In the 29th minute, Diogo Assis hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Rogério Brito sent away a hard shot on goal in the 30th minute, but the ball hit the crossbar and went out. A very good chance for a goal. Adelino Miranda sent away a hard shot on goal in the 31st minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. After 32 minutes, Rogério Andrade mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Pesinho FC and the Gondalaes FC players grew even worse after the yellow card. After 33 played minutes Pesinho FC got a freekick which was hit by Rogério Andrade. Adelino Miranda recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 37th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. In the 42nd minute José Freitas shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Pedro Amorim saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. In the 48th minute the ball was on its way in behind Pesinho FC's goalkeeper Pedro Moura, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. The score stood at 0-0 when the half time whistle went. Both sets of players seemed reasonably pleased with how the match was going.

The players of the away team seemed most concentrated when Gaspar Borba stepped up to make the kick off in the second half. Diogo Assis kicked well hit freekick during the 59th minute of the match. When Diogo Assis was, once again, overly rough in his play he received his second yellow card and was ordered off the ground. 60 minutes had been played. Diogo Assis hit a great freekick 61 minutes into the match. Pesinho FC's Pedro Moura played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Adelino Miranda in the 65th minute of play. After 65 played minutes Pesinho FC got a freekick which was hit by Gaspar Borba. Gondalaes FC's Pedro Amorim proved his good apprehension of play when he, in the 69th minute of the match, managed to save Gondalaes FC from getting a goal against them. After some fancy dribbling in the 71st minute, José Freitas managed to get in a good position for a shot. Pesinho FC's supporters rose to their feet, but José Freitas was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Pedro Amorim breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. Pesinho FC's Rogério Andrade got his second yellow card of the match in the 78th minute. The referee ordered Rogério Andrade off the ground. 80 minutes into the match, Pesinho FC's goal looked a bit too open when Rogério Brito came free, but Pedro Moura reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. 84 minutes into the match, Adelino Miranda had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Pedro Moura. Pesinho FC's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Adelino Miranda was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 1-0. Fernando Sá's late challenge caught a Pesinho FC's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Fernando Sá helped the player get up and apologised. In the 92nd match minute, Gondalaes FC was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Fernando Sá to maneuver through the defense. Raul Santarém kicked well hit freekick during the 94th minute of the match.
