League Play-Off

Tibaes
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. Augusto Luz started the match with the kick off. An unexpectedly hard shot by Augusto Luz in the 4th minute of play forced Tibaes's goalkeeper Alexandre Brás to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Vítor Pinheiro's late challenge caught a Antela's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Vítor Pinheiro helped the player get up and apologised. In the 15th minute, Vítor Pinheiro hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. 16 minutes into the match, Augusto Luz notched a goal, 0-1, to the right of Tibaes's Alexandre Brás. Alexandre Brás was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. If Afonso Leiria had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 28th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. After 33 minutes, Miguel Sousa mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Tibaes and the Antela players grew even worse after the yellow card. 35 minutes into the game, Antela's Heitor Mendes nearly tore a hole in the net with a booming shot. Alexandre Brás made a valiant effort, but he could not reach the ball in time, 0-2. Alexandre Brás came out of the goal in the 40th minute to try and stop a shot by Antela's Heitor Mendes. But to his dismay, Heitor Mendes quickly shot the ball in between his legs and into the goal making it 0-3. Basílio Lima made a fantastic save in the 43rd minute, when Eusébio Rodrigues sent off a good shot on target. The crowd was extremely unhappy with the home team's performance in the first half. They were losing 0-3.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Afonso Leiria to make the kick off. In the 51st minute, António Brás hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. After having played for 52 minutes, Heitor Mendes managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Antela's supporters crossed their fingers, but Heitor Mendes was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. Tibaes's Alexandre Brás played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Augusto Luz in the 54th minute of play. If Afonso Leiria had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 60th minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. If Heitor Mendes had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 63rd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. In the 65th minute, Augusto Luz got an opportunity to score, but he didn't get a solid hit on the ball and ended up kicking it wide of the goal. In the 67th minute, Heitor Mendes fired away a killer shot towards the goal that, to the delight of Alexandre Brás, passed just outside the right post. Alexandre Brás was in the perfect position, and the defense had done a good job marking him, but Heitor Mendes showcased his skills and made a perfect shot to score 0-4 in the 70 minute of play. Eusébio Rodrigues sent away a hard shot on goal in the 75th minute, but the ball hit the crossbar and went out. A very good chance for a goal. The referee was alert and spotted a serious foul by Marco Moreira during the 76th minute. The player immediately received a yellow card. After a rather tough play, Antela's Marco Moreira got a free kick in the 76th minute. After 77 played minutes, Tibaes's Joel Brás shot from a long distance, and at first it looked like the ball was going into the goal, but the goalkeeper Basílio Lima 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 Tibaes reached it. If Afonso Leiria had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 78th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. After some fancy dribbling in the 83rd minute, Afonso Leiria managed to get in a good position for a shot. Tibaes's supporters rose to their feet, but Afonso Leiria was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Basílio Lima breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. In the 89th minute, Heitor Mendes got an opportunity to score, but he didn't get a solid hit on the ball and ended up kicking it wide of the goal. Tibaes's Alexandre Brás played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Augusto Luz in the 90th minute of play. Heitor Mendes could have scored with his fast shot on goal in the 91st minute of the match, but Alexandre Brás made a huge save. When the final whistle was heard the away supporters stood up and showed their joy. Antela had managed to secure a win in what was a close match throughout.
