Santa_Valha 0 - 4 Portogal (370700865)

A brilliantly sunny day had enticed a crowd of 53430 to João António Fernandes. Gaetano Trotta was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Heiko Coelingh and Moritz Biber. Santa_Valha started off with a 3-5-2 lineup. The following players took the field: Paleta - Sutil, Moulard, Hlavín - Rosanelli, Wikling, Hammer, Noms, Seidlitz - Paúl, Encinas.

A 3-5-2 alignment was the formation of choice for Portogal. Lineup: Batista - Lesík, Erva, Klasovitý - Gherrini, Silvino, Valeev, Motta-Veiga, Oskarsson - Vansover, Tindyebwa.

Santa_Valha's J. Encinas tried to break through in the middle repeatedly, but couldn't get past the visitors' defenders. The guests took the lead 41 minutes into the match, after a right-side attack resulted in J. Gherrini scoring to make it 0 - 1. With 42 minutes played, R. Vansover nearly put the visitors another one up as he broke through in the middle and fired from just outside the box, but his shot passed just over the bar. F. Silvino received a delicate pass through the home side's central defence after 43 minutes, and chipped it past the flailing keeper to score making it 0 - 2. The Portogal fans went wild, whilst the home fans started to think about leaving early. 0 - 2 was the halftime score. Santa_Valha enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 51 percent of possession.

A superb free kick by Santa_Valha's V. Hlavín after 50 minutes looked like it'd reduced the lead after it hit the underside of the bar and bounced down over the line, but to the fury of the home crowd the linesman missed it - no goal! The bench was restless, and with 55 minutes passed Santa_Valha's coach gave O. Capelas the opportunity the player had been hoping for. T. Seidlitz reluctantly left the field. As the game started to slip away for Santa_Valha, the manager decided to change the tactical approach. The visitors' J. Gherrini took advantage of a misunderstanding between the home side's goalie and centre backs 55 minutes into the match. 0 - 3 for Portogal. By now, the players in Portogal felt that victory was guaranteed and began to play it safe, focusing on defence and not risking too much going forward. Portogal increased their lead after 56 minutes when R. Motta-Veiga broke through on the right, upping the score to 0 - 4, much to the home crowd's dismay. It was a hot and sunny day, and several players seemed worn out. Maybe this was why A. Erva found an unusual amount of space for his snappy footwork. H. Paúl charged down the left and looked sure to score for Santa_Valha 68 minutes into the game, but his shot went just wide. Santa_Valha needed a fresh pair of legs on the field, and after 70 minutes V. Hlavín made way for H. Bjørndal. After 70 minutes, Santa_Valha used a short break in the game to take new instructions from their coach. R. Vansover was, after 70 minutes, almost able to extend the visitors' lead with a well placed diving header after the ball had looped into the centre, but the home side's keeper D. Paleta made the save. Santa_Valha had most of the ball, with 53 percent of possession.

The most dominating Santa_Valha player was without a doubt H. Paúl. O. Capelas on the other hand, had a terrible day. R. Vansover performed admirably for Portogal. A. Erva was a disappointment, however. The match ends 0 - 4.
