ALGARVE FOOTBALL - FIXTURES AND RESULTS

LAST WEEKEND'S RESULTS NEXT WEEKEND'S GAMES

Liga Betclic

Farense 1 - 0 Estoril att. 4921. A literal last kick winner for Farense for their first victory of the season. The head coach was promptly red-carded in consequence! Farense remain bottom of the league with four points from their eight games. The team one point above them, Nacional de Madeira, were playing Benfica but the game was abandoned because of thick fog. It has been rescheduled for 19th December.

No game for Farense next week because of the international matches.

Liga Meu Super

Leixões 3 - 0 Portimonense att. 1596

Portimonense drop to 16th, they have five points from their seven matches.

LAST WEEKEND'S RESULTS NEXT WEEKEND'S GAMES

Portugal FA Cup 4th Round

Arouca 1 - 2 Farense attendance not  published. Something for Farense to be pleased about, as the reward is a home fifth round tie against Benfica. That game is provisionally scheduled for Wednesday 18th December, but of course TV will have the final say. The game will probably be played at the Algarve Stadium, which holds three times as many as their own São Luis ground in the city.

Farense return to league action on Friday night with a home game against Estrela Amadora. Farense badly need the points to avoid being stranded at the bottom of the table. Estrela themselves are only just above the relegation zone in 15th place.

National League Division Two

This season's strange setup had the eight teams in Division Two South play each other only once in the first phase. Guia finished 7th so enter a second phase to avoid relegation which involves another 14 matches and including some really long trips to the other end of the country. That doesn't get going until 14th December.

Prior to that, Guia has no game next week.  Then, on December 8th, they will be at home to Sporting 1st XI in the FA Cup ko 1500hrs which will be played at the Albufeira stadium, home of Imortal.
