Imortal 4 - 0 Carvoeiro United Algarve Cup First Round

Even with leading scorer Duarte and club captain Pedro Rodrigues having the night off, Imortal were far too good for their Second Division opponents. A four goal lead by half-time ensured the win, but maybe Imortal did ease back after the break and for certain Carvoeiro did up their game, including a spell of four corners in 90 seconds, all of which came to nothing.

A remarkable feature of the game, for these parts anyway, is that a total of only eight fouls were whistled up and not a single card shown. The rather portly referee might not have been quite up to speed. It was a nice night for football, but the counter-attraction of Bayern v Benfica on TV kept the crowd down to about 50.

The first goal, after just three minutes, was somewhat bizarre. A very strong back-pass flew past the Carvoeiro 'keeper, hit the goalpost and obligingly rebounded to the feet of Tidjane Balde, who side-footed it home from 5 metres out. Imortal were already in complete control, with good moves down both flanks. Needed a finisher though. The second came from such a move, a deep cross from the right by Balde was met with a perfect header by Tomas Rodrigues that fairly shot past the helpless 'keeper. Alves and Almeida were running rings around the opposition and occasionally themselves. On 25 minutes a superb long range curling shot from Alves drew gasps from the fans. It hit the corner of post and crossbar, bounced down and again it was Balde on hand to stab the loose ball into the net. It should have been four shortly after, Balde's cross found Alves unmarked on the far post, but he spooned his shot high over the bar into the trees.

Carvoeiro were chasing shadows, but when they did catch one on 35 minutes an ill advised tackle resulted in a penalty, nicely converted by Rangel.

Four-nil at half time. Carvoeiro made three changes at half time, while Coelho replaced Dragnev for Imortal. Alves and Rangel managed to get in each others' way after Alves had beaten several defenders to set up another chance. Goal kick. Carvoeiro then had their three minutes in Imortal's half, winning those four corners before normal service was resumed. But Imortal were content by now to indulge in some passing practice. Chances didn't come. Almeida got a bang on the head that laid him out for a couple of minutes and had to go off, being replaced by Fenimam for his first appearance. Mass defence by Carvoeiro kept Imortal at bay. They did actually have a long range shot towards the end. Although I counted it as being on target, it was no bother to Inacio in goal, who had been a spectator for most of the evening.

Ninety minutes was up, the referee decided that there would no time added despite five substitutions and the stoppage for Almeida's injury.

Imortal team : Inacio; Prates, Jose, Dragnev, Tomas Rodrigues; Alves, Almeida, Santos, Balde; Rangel, Salvador. Subs used : Tome, Coelho, Fenimam, Palinhas

Imortal 3 - 0 Culatrense

Cheked and updated.

An easy win for Imortal, too easy perhaps. They were two-nil up at half time, which could have been three or four had it not been for some excellent goalkeeping by Tiago Froita. Most of the second half was exceedingly dull, with Imortal seemingly content to use the time for passing practice, while Culatrense for the most part defended en masse. It wasn't until ten minutes before the end of the regulation 90 that Tomas Rodrigues prodded the third goal from close range.

Imortal dominated the early exchanges in a sign of what was to come. Duarte's great header was ruled out for offside after 11 minutes. But there wasn't long to wait for the opener. Two minutes later some neat play by Santos, cutting into the penalty area ended with a well placed pass to the feet of Alves, who finished accurately. Friota was called into action, making a superb double save from close range efforts. More pressure eventually told, with Duarte, unmarked at the far post heading home from a corner. There was some reaction from the visitors, but Imortal's defence dealt capably, blocking a couple of efforts and not needing Inacio in goal to take action.

Cintra had a well directed free kick tipped over for a corner, but nothing came of it. Half time and the crowd of about 200 wondered how many more would be added in the second period.

But it was not to be. Apart from an early move that ended with Alves being denied by a very timely tackle, there was literally nothing to write about for a very long time. The most activity was from Imortal's head coach Leandro Palma, whose arm waving indicated a level of frustration that was echoed by the mutterings among the crowd. Surely we can do better against this lot, as Cintra made yet another pass backwards from the half way line.

The game finally woke up on the hour. An attack set up Duarte close in, but he got his feet in the wrong order and lost the ball. Balde made a good run down the right, his cross found Duarte but a good tackle put paid to that chance. Then, finally, came the third. A corner from the left, 'keeper went down to gather and fumbled, Tomas Rodrigues smacked in the loose ball. Could have been four moments later, but the ´keeper foiled Tome's effort and right at the end it was Tome whose run into the box was met by another solid challenge. The visitors' sole shot on target in the second half was headed away for a corner, which the taker promptly kicked behind the goal.

A win's a win and three points kept Imortal at the top of the league, but surely they will need to play better than that next Saturday when visiting Portimonense B, who also are also 100% and are second only by virtue of a lesser goal difference. Good thing is that Portimonense's first team also have a game, so we ought not to see first team regulars up against us. Unfortunately there is no way I can get to that game, so Rua FM will be monitored.

Imortal team : Inacio, Pedro Rodrigues, Dragnev, Sousa, Prates, Cintra; Alves, Santos, Rangel; Duarte, Tome. Subs used : Balde, Coelho, Tomas Rodrigues, Almeida

Yesterday - Portimonense B 1 -1 Imortal so both teams remain unbeaten and Imortal remain top of the league with a better goal difference. I was unable to go but will add some detail once it's posted on offifical websites.

A little bit of detail about Saturday's game. I was listening to the radio commentary, but the commentator was of the excitable nature! Portimonense took the lead on 15 minutes through number 9 André Araújo. The game seemed to be up and down, especially in the second with numerous chances being created. Imortal won a corner in the 66th minute that was swung in low. The commentator wasn't sure if it had gone straight in or whether the goalkeeper had fumbled it. Official data awards the goal to Tómas Cintra, his first of the season. Six minutes added time couldn't produce a winner.

Imortal team: Inacio; Prates, Pedro Rodrigues, Jose, Dragnev; Cintra, Tomas Rodrigues, Alves, Santos; Tome, Duarte. Subs used : Coelho, Rangel, Balde, Salvador.

Next game for Imortal is on Saturday, away to Quarteirense. The game is actuallybeing played at Almancil stadium. Again, I cannot go as my sporting talent is required at the other end of the Algarve.

Cry Groan! A first defeat of the league season at Quarteirense. A single goal on 53 minutes from the penalty spot did the damage. Elsewhere, a last gasp equaliser for Portimonense B at Silves gave them the point that puts them on top of the table with 23 points, one ahead of Imortal.

Next up for Imortal is a home game against Silves, this coming Saturday at 1500hrs.

Not much I can add, not being there. I caught the last half hour on the radio. It sounded like Imortal didn't create much in the way of scoring chances. In the ten minutes added at the end, three Imortal players managed to get themselves in the book. Suspensions must be looming for some.

Imortal team : Tiago Friota; Prates, Pedro Rodrigues, Jose, Dragnev; Cintra, Tomás Rodrigues, Santos, Alves; Duarte, Toma. Subs used : Coelho, Almeida, Rangel and Balde.

A new face in goal with Inacio injured. Friota was with Culatrense for a couple of seasons but didn't play much last season.

Yesterday : Imortal 3 - 2 Silves an exciting game for the neutrals, a nervy one for the home fanss. Briefly, more tomorrow, Imortal were two -nil down at half town. A couple of defensive errors gave Silves opportunities they didn't waste. The half time team talk in the home changing room was obviously sucessful! A different team emerged and three second half goals, including a penalty, gave Imortal the win they needed. Undoubted highlight was a spectacular overhead kick from substitute Rafael Rangel, whose first touch it was having been brought on about 30 seconds earlier. Full report on Monday.

Defeat for Portimonense B at the hands of Ferreiras means that Imortal are back at the top of the table. Next week, Imortal make the short trip up the N395 to Ferreiras, who now sit third.

Imortal Albufeira 3 - 2 Silves

An important win for Imortal that, combined with the defeat of Portimonense B at the hands of Ferreiras, puts them back on top of the table. It's going to be an interesting game next Saturday when Imortal travel ten minutes up the road to face Ferreiras.

A nice warm and sunny afternoon greeted players and fans. Imortal had Tidjane Balde in the starting line up for the first time in a league match this season. Jose Coelho returned to the defence after three games as sub. Santos and Prates dropped to the bench.

The games was largely dominated by the huge din of a sound system at a children's skateboarding event in the adjacent skate park! Couldn't hear ourselves think at times.

The first was very uneventful except for the two defensive errors by Imortal that let Silves into a first half lead. Thirteen minutes passed before the first scoring chance, a wild shot from the visitors that went into the trees behind the goal. It was nineteen minutes before the first free kick was given. The referee made up for this in the second half.

Then two goals in five minutes midway through. A neat passing move down the right by Silves found Giovanni Sluiter unmarked on the far side of the penalty area. His low, hard, shot was fired across the goal into the opposite corner giving ´keeper Froita no chance. The second was also an error by defenders, failing to deal with a long ball sent into the box which was seized upon by Rafael Pinto, who slammed it into the net from the edge of the area. Imortal responded in a positive way, but Cintra fluffed his shot after good work by Tome had created some space. Silves should have gone three-nil up just before half time, but it was an abysmal pass went nowhere near Youri Rosebloom who had all the time and space in the world.

Half time and a big team talk needed. Certainly worked! Looked like a different team that came out. The second period began with an odd incident. There was a foul by Imortal and a yellow card waved. It wasn't me, said Cintra. Captain Pedro spoke with the referee, who changed his mind and booked Coelho instead. I wonder why? Perhaps yellow cards are being accumulated.

Imortal's pressure was immediate. Duarte was just off target with a header off a cross by Cintra. Then came a good move down the right wing by Prates. His cross found Duarte, whose header was fumbled by the goalie, Tome hit the bar off the rebound, the ball was not properly cleared and fell to Walter Alves, whose first time volley from 12 metres sped into the net. A few minutes later Imortal had a big shout for a penalty when Alves was sent sprawling. Nothing doing. Balde was booked for dissent. More pressure from Imortal eventually  told. Balde sent in another cross from the right, which was blocked by the arm of Tiago Serras so obviously that there was nothing in the way of protest. Duarte placed the ball on the spot. Silves did then engage in some petty pushing and shoving to delay the kick. Duarte never took his eye off the ball and a minute later, once people were behaving, calmly dispatched the penalty right down the middle.

Silves goalie Keven Lopes then did the sit down routine to get his team a time out, claiming he had cramp. He hadn't done anything to get cramp, derided the crowd. Once the game resumed, Imortal pushed hard for the winner. And what a winner it was! If you are on Facebook, find the Imortal Fans page and watch the video or follow this link - https://www.facebook.com/imortalfans/videos/3390824371214331/.

Rafael Rangel, super sub, was the hero. He had been on the pitch only a couple of minutes. A floated cross from the right headed into the melée. Duarte's head lifted it across the bodies towards Rangel. Unmarked and with his back to goal he shaped for an overhead kick, which he executed perfectly. From eight metres out the ball shot past the stationary goalkeeper. All he could do was wave his arm in a half hearted appeal for offside. Joy unbounded on the field and for most in the stands. News was filtering through that Portimonense B were being held by Ferreiras, a noise which grew  louder when Ferreiras took the lead as six minutes of added time were announced in our game. There was time for Tome to cap a good run with a fine shot that was only just wide. The game ended with several Imortal players flat out.

Imortal back on top and next up the challenge along the road at Ferreiras, ko 1500hrs on Saturday I hope!

Imortal team : Froita; Pedro Rodrigues, Jose, Dragnev, Sousa; Cintra, Coelho, Alves, Balde; Tome aka Ruca and Duarte, aka Marocas. Subs used Tomás Rodrigues, Prates and Rangel.
