POR1A Round 9

Article by Tito29

The game starts and the ball went for the right wing for Ronaldo. He dribbled Odoi and just like that he entered the area, and crosses it high for Djekic, that wasn´t marked. He received the ball and hit it but Higuita punched it, the ball was finally grabbed by Juan, who cleared it.

The first 15 minutes of the game was controlled by Portus, but the tendency of the game slightly became to change after that. Despite that they didn´t managed to shot the goal of van der Gyles and the half ended with only shot made from Portus Cale.

Second half starts and Estuera finally has a chance to score. Otto wins the fight against Viv and crosses the ball for Logan who was free in box line. Logan grabbs it and shoots it well, but Gyles saves it away! With 54 minutes, Lambe Mos finds a gap in Portus defense and passes the ball for Jerry that was able to shoot the ball from outside the box, but this time Gyles punched it away instead of saving it. Estuera was trying with all its power to score a goal but it only came with 75 minutes on clock. After a shot from Jerry punched away by Gyles, Lambe Mos was able to reach the ball before it went for a throw, and he passes for Logan, who makes an incredible from 20 meters and scores the 1st and only goal of the game.

Two teams full of spanish players faced last day. Las Puritans is having a good season, but I believe they want to grab Setemares the most faster possible. But for that they had to defeat Ataporquinhos (drawed Estuera) a team that has a great defensive style. 4 minutes match and you could already see Hombrados working, saving a shot from Liendres.

First half ended without great goal occasions from each team. 

Second half was fully dominated by Las Puritans, who made an enormous ammount of shots but most of it wasn´t on target or were to weak to create danger. Pu Ta and Jalash were the best players at this period, but their shots and dribbles couldn´t make Puritans get the edge and grab 3 points. 

Las Puritans controlled the entire game, but the heart and soul of Ataporquinhos led them to this draw!

Due to a defensive mistake created by Gouveia, with 7 minutes, Miranda was able to be onside and free to shoot at Superman Lima´s goal but the keeper punched the ball away and the danger was avoid. With 15 minutes Gouveia had a major opportunity to score when he received the ball in the penalty spot, after a great dribble of Gonçalves through Sena, but he managed to shoot off target.
Half well disputed, but without shots and goals.
With 60 minutes came the biggest opportunity of the game for Mechanical. After a successful tackle, Hugo Melo was able to find a gap in Porto Eclipse center defense, where Madruga was all alone. He passed him and Madruga dribbled inside Porto´s box. Then one-on-one against the keeper he shoots, but the ball went over the goal bar.In the last minutes, game went crazy with both teams trying everything to score but the shots were way far from goal and the result was 0.

Garitinho is 16 points ahead of Crow, in 4th place, while Crow Team is in the red light zone with 5 points only. But the first 30 minutes of the game didn´t show that difference, because both teams were disputing every ball and the game wasn´t controlled by neither team. But after that Garitinho started to dominate the ball and with that came the first shots of the game made by Benfica se fue a vender towels and Pauleta but the ball didn´t connect the target. First half ends without goals.
With 65 minutes, Pauleta was able to find Benfica se fue a vender towels slightly unmarked and he passed him. Number 44 received it and directly shooted the ball that entered in the right corner of goal. Ten minutes later Redondo crosses the ball, that flies over the area until the throw line where Pauleta receives it. Pauleta passes for Benfica that makes another amazing shot and the ball enters the goal for the second time.

Setemares was favourite for this game and they start from the beggining to grab the victory. First shot was dangerless made by Saunders with 10 minutes of the game. 7 minutes laterit was a direct header from Zoko creating danger but Mr. No Name punched it away. Finally with 40 minutes BH had a chance to score. Robben took the ball, dribbled McKenny and went the box where he shooted. But the ball went above the goal.
Penalty! Kick-off for second half and Shank starts a hell of a play. He dribbles Cabalala, then Abate, then he wents against Muslimovic also dribbling him and he reaches the penalty box, where Hyde stopped him with a foul. Saunders was confident stepping up to beat it, but Mr. No Name was a giant and with an amazing flight he saved it away!
With 51 minutes in clock, McKenny passed the ball deeply and Saunders grabbed it free of mark.   He runs for the area and makes a shot: Goal!!!  
Game ends without any team providing another shot after Setemares goal.
