League Play-Off

Estádio Coutinho
Spectators: 32 (Terracing: 25, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Gualter Lima took the kick off in the first half of the match. Gualter Lima struck a weak shot in the 4th minute. Tomé Travassos didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Arapora FC. Betinho Lucas received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 5th minute. Tomé Travassos tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. In the 7th minute Betinho Lucas shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Tomé Travassos saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. If Betinho Lucas had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 13th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. After 14 played minutes Coutinho got a freekick which was hit by Josué da Mata. Gualter Lima 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. José Vinhas succeeded to score despite a near miss that spronge from right pole into the goal to 1-0 in the 17th playminute. If Gualter Lima had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 23rd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. In the 31st minute, José Vinhas fired away a killer shot towards the goal that, to the delight of Adolfo de Mendonça, passed just outside the right post. Betinho Lucas received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 35th minute. Tomé Travassos tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Délio Martins recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 38th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. 42 minutes into the game, Gualter Lima cracked a shot to the right of the goalkeeper, 1-2. Tomé Travassos was not in position, and could only watch the ball fly in. The crowd was extremely unhappy with the home team's performance in the first half. They were losing 1-2.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Arthur Gomes to make the kick off. After 53 minutes, José Vinhas made it 2-2 with a short kick to the right side. Arapora FC's Adolfo de Mendonça tried to save the shot but he was too slow in reacting to the shot. Falcão Proença kicked well hit freekick during the 58th minute of the match. If José Vinhas had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 62nd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Adolfo de Mendonça didn't have a chance when a screaming shot from José Vinhas went, in the 70th minute, to the upper right corner, 3-2 was the resulting score. Tomé Travassos took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Gualter Lima, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. The supporters of Coutinho booed when Arapora FC was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 75 match minutes in a wonderful position. Matías Rosa didn't get a good kick on the ball. Coutinho's defense didn't have a chance, in the 86th minute, when Gualter Lima scored to the left of an out of position Tomé Travassos, making the score, 3-3. In the 90th minute, Gualter Lima fired away a shot on goal. He put a little to much spin on the ball and sent it just wide of the right post. When Gualter Lima came up free with the goalie in the 93rd minute, the Arapora FC 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 Gualter Lima couldn't finish the play. In the 96th minute, Betinho Lucas made a precise shot to the right of Tomé Travassos. Coutinho's defense was at fault, and the scoreboard reflected the new score, 3-4. When the final whistle sounded Arapora FC left the ground with the victory after a much better performance than Coutinho.
