League Play-Off

Estadio Lamas
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. Paulo Leite started the match with the kick off. Rui Maia received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 5th minute. Jorge Vaz tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Eusébio Morais fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 11th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Jorge Vaz having to interfere. Miguel Borges sent away a hard shot on goal in the 15th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. 19 minutes into the match, Miguel Borges had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Domingos Gaspar. SC Soeirinho's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Miguel Borges was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 1-0. Through an outstanding action, after 27 minutes, Domingos Gaspar successfully got his hands on the ball before it slid into the goal at the right post. 28 minutes into the match, SC Soeirinho's goalkeeper Domingos Gaspar had to clear away a ball on his right side after a cunning shot by Miguel Borges. Carlos Magalhães was probably a little too eager to shoot when he, in the 35th played minute, shot the ball from way out. The shot was hard, but the ball flew wide of the goal. Eusébio Morais scored 1-1 in the 38th match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Jorge Vaz, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. Paulo Marques charged in rather forcefully in the 43rd minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Paulo Marques the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. Paulo Marques kicked well hit freekick during the 43rd minute of the match. In the 46th minute, Filipe Ferro hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. After the first half the score was level. The break gave the players a chance to catch their breath, whilst the managers went over the tactics with them again.

The wind increased when Eusébio Morais made the kick off in the second half. If Rui Maia had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 56th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. When Rui Maia came up free with the goalie in the 58th minute, the SC Soeirinho 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 Rui Maia couldn't finish the play. Jorge Vaz stood for a superb save when he managed to get hold of Eusébio Morais's shot from short distance in the 59th minute. The audience thought a goal was coming when Rui Maia got free with Jorge Vaz in the 62nd minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort. Jorge Vaz made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Eusébio Morais in the 63rd minute of play. Eusébio Morais fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 70th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Jorge Vaz having to interfere. With a little luck, Lamas FC's Jorge Vaz got control of the ball when Rui Maia tried to sneak it across the goal line. After some careless play in the Lamas FC defense, Rui Maia kicked a shot that curved into the net to the right of Jorge Vaz. The Lamas FC fans voiced their displeasure as they felt that Jorge Vaz should have stopped the shot. Rui Maia sent away a hard shot on goal in the 84th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Jorge Vaz showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Eusébio Morais in the 85th minute of the match. 90 minutes into the match, Rui Maia dribbled the ball past the defender and swiftly kicked the ball to the left of Jorge Vaz, 1-3. When the match was over SC Soeirinho could go home with a victory in their luggage, having controlled the game far better than Lamas FC throughout the match.
