Yesterday

Algarve Super Cup

Imortal v Olhanense. 

On September 27th kicking off at 5pm, at the Estadio Bela Vista in Parchal. Free entry.

Not exactly the obvious venue, given the two clubs location.

Saturday in the FA Cup 1st round

Imortal 1 - 5 Tondela

No mercy from the visiting Liga 2 outfit. Imortal were three down inside the half hour. Mario Duarte pulled one back on 45 minutes, but two more goals around the hour mark finished it off.

Backup goalkeeper Botao started, as did Mica Silva a regular substitute until now. Also starting were recent signings Constantinescu and Gonçalves. Whether these changes made the difference we shall never know!

I was not there, enjoying instead Kent's vital win in the County cricket championship and Tonbridge struggling to a 2-1 win at home to Ramsgate in the English FA Cup 2nd Qualifying round.

Next game for Imortal will be next Sunday, 27th September. Tthe Algarve Super Cup, last season's league winners (us) v last season's Algarve Cup winners, Olhanense. Venue will be the Bela Vista stadium in Parchal, ko 1700hrs / 5pm.

Imortal do not play again in the League until 11th October. The League is in effect suspended during the international break. There are however some games to be played, catching up on those postponed over the early weeks of the season. I will report if they affect Imortal's league position. The visitors on 11th October will be GD Portel, ko 3pm / 1500hrs.

Imortal team on Saturday was : Botao; Lopes, Pina, Floro, Constantinescu; Gonçalves, Coelho, Nascimento, Mica Silva: Cabral, Duarte. Subs used : Prates, Alves, Baiao and Silveira.

Sunday - Alcochetense 1 - 1 Imortal a game of two penalties and eleven yellow cards. Six of those were for Imortal, five for the home team.

Alcochetense took the lead early with the first penalty, Mario Duarte's trusty foot equalised also from the spot. Imortal stay in second place, three points behind leaders Sintrense. 

Imortal team : Inacio; Dias, Lopes, Floro, Pina; Nascimento, Coelho, Baiao, Pimenta; Cabral, Duarte. Subs used, including some new faces, Miguel Constantinescu, Mica Silva, Gonçalves, Diogo Silva.

There are no more league games for a long time. Next weekend though it's the second round of the FA Cup. TV wants to show the game, so Imortal have to be out of bed early on Saturday 19th September for an 11:00am kickoff.

Tondela are in Liga 2, having been relegated from the top league at the end of last season. They were down our way on Sunday, beating Portimonense 2-0. No doubt some of Imortal's people were watching.
