Clarimundo
Spectators: 34 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) The mood of the audience was pleasant when Sílvio Montenegro made the kick off which started today's match. After a rather tough play, Sarutai AD's Simão Tróia got a free kick in the 7th minute. In the 8th minute of the match Eduardo Porto shot from a long distance. The ball could have gone into the goal to the right of the goalkeeper, but Patrício Couto showed his good shape when he easily got hold of the ball. 10 minutes into the match, Clarimundo SC's goal looked a bit too open when Sílvio Montenegro came free, but Américo Barral reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. With a couple of smart ball manuevers Oscar Bastos in the 13th managed to get into a good position. With a left leg Américo Barral saved Clarimundo SC from getting behind. Manfredo Seco recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 20th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. In the 26th match minute, Sarutai AD was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Alberto Madureira to maneuver through the defense. When Manfredo Seco came up free with the goalie in the 33rd minute, the Clarimundo SC 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 Manfredo Seco couldn't finish the play. 40 minutes into the game, Oscar Bastos cracked a shot to the right of the goalkeeper, 0-1. Américo Barral was not in position, and could only watch the ball fly in. If Oscar Bastos had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 46th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead.

When the second half was about to start, both teams quickly lined up and Manfredo Seco made a kick off. After 54 minutes, Manfredo Seco made it 1-1 with a short kick to the right side. Sarutai AD's Patrício Couto tried to save the shot but he was too slow in reacting to the shot. 66 minutes into the match, Oscar Bastos notched a goal, 1-2, to the right of Clarimundo SC's Américo Barral. Américo Barral was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. 1-3 became the score in the 73rd minute when Oscar Bastos elegantly shot the ball into goal just under the crossbar. Oscar Bastos sent away a hard shot on goal in the 78th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Américo Barral took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Sílvio Montenegro, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Simão Tróia charged in rather forcefully in the 84th minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Simão Tróia the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. The supporters of Clarimundo SC booed when Sarutai AD was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 85 match minutes in a wonderful position. Simão Tróia didn't get a good kick on the ball. The Sarutai AD players were relieved to hear the final whistle blow to end the match. The away crowd was happy to see their team win after a very tight game.
