True, and also Ricardo Tomé 'Ruca' is no longer involved it seems, not even for the B team. While I am here, Imortal's next game away to Portimonense SC in the Algarve Cup has been moved to the faintly ridiculous time of 7.30pm on Sunday 22nd November. I will bet that went down well on both sides! Their U-17 side has a 3pm ko in the national league, which takes priority.]]> Sat, 14 Nov 2026 08:22:16 +0000 https://albufeira.com/forum/imortal-football-club-albufeira-2026-2027_topic12382_post120786.html#120786 <![CDATA[Imortal Football Club Albufeira 2026 - 2027 : Sad to see little Walter Alves...]]> https://albufeira.com/forum/imortal-football-club-albufeira-2026-2027_topic12382_post120778.html#120778 Author: Lofters

Imortal 3 -2 Santa Clara B

Not a good performance, by any means! The visitors played with ten men after 17 minutes following the harsh sending off their goalkeeper. Imortal lost the ball too often in midfield, were often poor in defence especially for the second goal and were it not for two amazing misses and two really good saves by Inacio, could well have been beaten.

The pitch was dry and bumpy, the clouds were gathering for this morning kickoff and it started raining quite hard around half-time. Crowd was small. 11am kick-offs are neither a player's or fan's favourite, but necessary to accommodate the travel for the opponents from mid-Atlantic. Santa Clara are based in the Azores, which are about the same distance from Albufeira as London!

Leading scorer Mario Duarte was on the bench, leaving Diogo Cabral on his own up front, supported by Pimenta and Baiao coming from midfield. Santa Clara brought Inacio into action early on, his parried save was returned but went just over the bar.

In the 17th minutes, Imortal broke down the left, their keeper Carlos Neves came steaming out of the penalty area to take out Baiao. There were two defenders behind him, we thought the sending off harsh. So, they were down to ten men. Imortal had a chance to take the lead, but Floro could only head over from a cross by Prates. After half an hour, the wind was getting stronger ahead of the rain. Santa Clara won a free kick wide right. Samuel Velho caught it just right, the ball sailing over everyone to find the far bottom corner of the net.

Imortal did respond, Cabral should have better with a shot on the turn, Pimenta had a tame shot drift wide.

Five minutes before half time a seemingly innocuous attack was ended with Baiao being needlessly barged over in the penalty area. No complaints from the opposition, other than cross looks from his team-mates. Baiao stepped up to take the penalty - video clip at https://youtu.be/_DM6TpEA9Gw thanks to Geoff. There was just time before the interval for Cabral to be denied by a decent save from the sub. goalkeeper Roxo.

The rain was coming down when the second half eventually began at about ten past 12. Imortal went straight into the attack and for once caused chaos in the visitors defence. Cabral got onto the end of a cross, his header was not exactly top-drawer but fell kindly at the feet of Rodrigo Silva, who slammed it in at close range. Goalkeeper José Roxo was once more rather angry at his static defenders.

A few minutes later, Santa Clara really should have scored. A swift counter-attack caught Imortal's midfield and defence half asleep. Osvaldo Miranda and Velho broke clear and were in front of Inacio, otherwise free and poised to score. all they had to do was keep calm, but they didn't and the final pass went behind Velho when all he to do was tap it in. Defenders were getting back then. A huge sigh of relief among the home fans.

Rodrigo Silva was on the scoresheet for the second time on 68 minutes, finishing off a good move involving Mica Silva and Prates. That was followed by more chaos in the Imortal defence, Dias and Inacio not communicating, requiring Inacio to dive bravely at onrushing feet and getting hurt in the process.

The game got messy after that, with four yellow cards dished out to Santa Clara players in the space of ten minutes. Five added minutes were announced, Imortal were on the back foot to the ten men, who were rewarded with a late goal by José Franco's swift movement among leaden footed defenders.

All in all three points is three points, lifting Imortal back into second place. But they must be better.

The eccentric fixture list has no game for Imortal next weekend, because it's Internationals! I wonder how many players the part-time Portuguese fourth division contributes?

Imortal's next game is in the Algarve Cup, a second round match away at Portimonense SC. They are the 'amateur' part of Portimonense, playing in the Algarve league at the training ground out near Praia da Rocha. That's currently scheduled for 1500hrs / 3pm on Sunday 22nd November. Imortal's next home game won't be until 6th December.

Imortal team : Inacio; Prates, Dias, Gonçalves, Floro; Nascimento, Pimenta, Baiao, Rodrigo Silva, Mica Silva; Cabral. Subs used Welson Lopes, Diogo Silva and Luis Silveira.

Imortal 3 - 0 GD Portel
Sunday 11th October 2026
Campeonato de Portugal First Phase Group D

Not the most convincing performance despite the score. GD Portel were very poor opposition. They had drawn their first four league games and it was easy see why. They were quite happy to pack five or six men back in defence. For long periods of the game, Imortal lacked the initiative to break down this wall. Too many times, we had the ball on the edge of their penalty area then, three passes later, it was back with Inacio in our goal. It was only late in the game that things changed.

The pitch was dry and bumpy in places. Not sure what's wrong, but it is needing attention.

There were changes from the most recent game a fortnight ago. Baiao, Lopes and Floro were all missing, replaced by Luis Silveira, Mica Silva, plus Rodrigo Silva made his first start of the season in midfield.

The opening ten minutes were of little note, in fact it was not until the 11th minute that there was even a free kick. Imortal did create a couple of chances. A great cross from the left by Cabral was just missed by Rodrigo Silva on the far post, then a corner missed two Imortal heads. Pimenta had a first time shot from the edge of penalty area that went way over the crossbar. Portel often had ten men behind the ball. Frustration was growing.

On the half hour, Pina went down in the Portel penalty area, no foul, just seemed to land awkwardly. He was stretchered off, came back on after five minutes, but didn't come out for the second half, being replaced by Diogo Prates.

There was time just before the interval for another chance, again through Cabral down the left. His cross went just behind Duarte, no joy.

Things had to improve and they did, slowly. Duarte had a shot well saved low down by Portel 'keeper Diogo Águas. That was the first save that either goalkeeper had to make, although both had been in action competently dealing, most of the time, with crosses.

Imortal's opening goal was a bit of luck. Mica Silva had a free kick wide out on the right. In it floated towards the far post, missing about a dozen heads before it dropped into the corner of the goal.

Imortal applied the pressure, at last, and were rewarded with the4 second goal on 17 minutes. Silva had a foot in it, sending in a deep cross which was headed back across goal by Dias and perfectly met on the volley by incoming Duarte from six metres out.

But still Imortal were not positive enough. Prates did get in a good cross from the right, three Imortal players failed to connect. Baiao was just wide with a low shot, his first touch after coming on a sub on 35 minutes.

Portel had until then not managed a single goal scoring attempt Suddenly they attacked, catching Imortal a little off guard. Luckily Marco Grave sent his header over the bar.

Crowd favourite Ricardo Tome (Ruca) came on for the last few minutes. He teamed up with Walter Alves to create Imortal's third, which was also a bit lucky. Alves picked up the ball wide left of the goal, wormed his way across the penalty area, with Ruca drawing defenders out of position. It seemed that Alves had gone too far, but as he reached the goal-line on the opposite side of the goal, he turned on the proverbial sixpence to send in a low cross, but to no-one in particular. Maybe goalkeeper Águas was surprised. He fumbled gathering the cross, the ball hit the goalpost, rebounded off his head and rolled gently across the line.

There was time for Jenney Dangervil of Portel to make a run at goal, but he fluffed his shot and sent it well wide.

Three points are three points and with Sintrense losing Imortal are now level on points with them at the top of the table.

One again a week ahead with no game. Next weekend is the FA Cup and we are out! The league resumes on 25th October, when Imortal travel into the Alentejo to play Mineiro Aljustrel. We should be optimistic. They are bottom of the league.

Forgot to write down the team!

Inacio; Pina, Silveira, Gonçalves, Dias; Nascimento, Rodrigo Silva, Mica Silva, Pimenta; Cabral, Duarte. Subs used : Prates, Coelho, Alves, Tome, Baião.
