Mourim
Spectators: 32 (Terracing: 25, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) The mood of the audience was pleasant when Bento Pinto made the kick off which started today's match. After having played for 3 minutes, Bento Pinto managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Rechousa's supporters crossed their fingers, but Bento Pinto was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. Filipe Brito came out of the goal in the 15th minute to try and stop a shot by Rechousa's Heitor Silva. But to his dismay, Heitor Silva quickly shot the ball in between his legs and into the goal making it 0-1. Heitor Carneiro struck a weak shot in the 18th minute. Gaspar Costa didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Mourim. Rechousa's defense didn't have a chance, in the 33rd minute, when Heitor Carneiro scored to the left of an out of position Gaspar Costa, making the score, 1-1. 37 minutes into the match, Mourim's goal looked a bit too open when Heitor Silva came free, but Filipe Brito reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. João Santarém charged in rather forcefully in the 38th minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed João Santarém the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. In the 38th match minute, Mourim was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by João Santarém to maneuver through the defense. Gaspar Costa made a fantastic save in the 42nd minute, when Gaspar Barbosa sent off a good shot on target. The supporters of Mourim booed when Rechousa was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 45 match minutes in a wonderful position. Rodrigo Sousa didn't get a good kick on the ball. After a defensive mix-up in Rechousa's zone, Gaspar Barbosa stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Gaspar Costa came out of the goal and Gaspar Barbosa tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. The first half was very even, with the score at 1-1 when the whistle went for half-time. The players welcomed the break and quickly retired to the dressing rooms.

Rechousa's Gaspar Costa played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Heitor Carneiro in the 56th minute of play. If Heitor Silva had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 58th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Heitor Silva who was well placed in front of the goal fired away a dangerous shot that in the 63rdth minute tested the skills of Filipe Brito when he managed to save the team from getting behind. If Heitor Carneiro had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 64th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. After having played for 66 minutes, Bento Pinto managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Rechousa's supporters crossed their fingers, but Bento Pinto was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. 82 minutes into the match, Mourim's goal looked a bit too open when Bento Pinto came free, but Filipe Brito reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. In the 86th match minute, Rechousa was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Alexandre Monteiro to maneuver through the defense. Gaspar Costa took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Heitor Carneiro, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Heitor Carneiro took the ball and in the 88 minute, shot a rapid shot to the right of a surprised Gaspar Costa. Gaspar Costa dived to the right, and did manage to get a hand on the shot, but it still went into the right corner making it 2-1. 91 minutes into the match, Gaspar Barbosa notched a goal, 3-1, to the right of Rechousa's Gaspar Costa. Gaspar Costa was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. Gaspar Costa didn't have a chance when a screaming shot from Heitor Carneiro went, in the 97th minute, to the upper right corner, 4-1 was the resulting score. Mourim were really happy, having secured the victory after a very even contest. They thanked the players of Rechousa for a fine match.
