A few details from Saturday's win at Culatrense. Mario Duarte scored from the penalty spot after just eight minutes, Ricardo Tome (Ruca) added the second on 37 minutes. It was his first start since 7th December. A few second half bookings might cost Imortal as they mount up towards five and a one match suspension. I will check the report on Friday. Imortal team : Inacio; Prates, Pedro Rodrigues, Mauro Jose, Dragnev; Tomas Rodrigues, Alves, José Antonio; Herlander Tome, Duarte, Ricardo Tome. Subs used : Coleho, Vieira, Santos, Salvador and Martins. Next game is the important visit of second placed Portimonense B, ko 1500hrs on Saturday 15th.

Sr. Pereira received a three match suspension for 'aggressive behaviour towards opponents' and 'incorrect' behaviour towards spectators. Downside for Imortal is a one match ban for Tomas Cintra, for collecting his fifth yellow of the season.

IMORTAL 1 - 0 FC 11 Esperanças
A fairly average game that exploded in the 82nd minute. Imortal were 1-0 ahead and the game seemingly drifting away into the final ten minutes when visiting ´keeper Nélio Perieira, who was at Imortal for several years, totally lost the plot. He had made a routine catch from a corner and was ambling out to the edge of the area when, for some reason, he bashed an Imortal player on the head with the ball in both hands. From a distance we had no idea whether something was said to provoke him. The referee was only a few metres away and immediately produced a red card for Sr. Pereira. That sparked all kinds of pushing and shoving. Pereira was not unknown for his reactions when playing for Imortal, but this was above and beyond. Every player, substitute, coach and hanger-on were soon in a vast melée. Pereira was kicking and lashing out at all and sundry. It took perhaps five minutes for that first scrum to break up and calm down. But as Pereira finally trudged towards the tunnel past the Imortal bench, it kicked off again. Pereira was so enraged that at one point six or seven of his team-mates were physically holding him to the ground. The GNR woke from their slumbers to drag people apart, at which point Pereira waved a threatening fist in their direction. Not a good idea. More barging, pushing and shoving ensued. After fully ten minutes, he finally went into the changing rooms with a GNR man following him. The referee then called captains and coaches together. It wasn't necessary to be able to hear what was said. Quite clearly the game would have been abandoned had anything else untoward happened. The match finally resumed with Mario Duarte placing the ball on the penalty spot. Did he really mean to take such a poor one? Whatever, sub goalkeeper Victor Figueiredo dealt with it easily. Several minutes of added time remained, during which Figueiredo was twice out of his area to make good tackles to deny Ricardo Tome and Martins, while at the other end the visitors centre forward Ivan Francisco, who had as we say been putting himself about a bit, got a bit of his own back when he inadvertently and painfully blocked a fierce effort at goal. Up until the flashpoint, the game had been fairly ordinary. Imortal started well, with cross by Pedro Rodrigues met by the head of Herlander Tome which whistled just over the bar. The visitors were showing some enterprise, but to no effect. But even in the first ten minutes the free kicks were starting to mount up, heading towards a total of twenty in just the first half. But no yellow cards. Couldn't last we said and we were right. There were eight in the second half, plus of course the sending off. Both defences were doing well. Imortal's league top scorer Mario Duarte was foiled by a good interception, Andre Vieira of the visitors saw a wind assisted shot sail high then totally wasted a free kick. Imortal midfielder Cintra should have scored with a close range header that he put wide. Overall, the 11 Esperanças had more efforts at goal than Imortal, but nothing to really trouble ´keeper Inacio. Early in the second half Cintra shot just over the bar. More chances going missing. Then the visitors unveiled a long throw specialist, André Vieira, whose throw-ins were easily reaching the penalty spot. That did cause some problems in the swirling wind, with Inacio breathing a sigh of relief after he had missed one leaving Francisco to head just wide. Cintra had Imortal's first meaningful shot on target, but Pereira saved well enough. Midway through the half, Imortal went ahead. A slip by Cintra on the right wing, but he recovered to send a perfect cross over the defenders onto the far post, where Duarte headed firmly past Pereira. Duarte had been well marked up until then and had been unable to make his mark on the game. The 11 Esperanças responded with some swift counter-attacks. Substitute Fortunato Sampaio drew a superb save from Inacio with a long range effort that was tipped over the bar. Another attack by the visitors ended with Francisco making an air shot at a cross, the ball bounced around and it was fortunate for Imortal that Pedro Rodrigues was on the line and kept his cool to heft the ball to safety. José António, on a sub for Imortal, tested Pereira with fierce drive which was palmed over for a corner, then came the ten minutes of madness. I cannot find any video but there might be something on the Imortal Fans Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/imortalfans/ to which I have no access. The report of the Algarve FA disciplinary committee this coming Thursday should make interesting reading. Imortal's next game is away at Culatrense on Saturday. They play in the horrible Horta da Areia 'stadium' in Faro, a place I would not go to even if I was able. Imortal Team : Inacio; Prates, Pedro Rodrigues, Mauro, Dragnev; Cintra, Coelho, Tomas Rodrigues, Alves; Duarte, Herlander Tome. Subs used : António, Santos, Ricardo Tome and Martins. Match statistics (I might have lost count of free kicks!) Free kicks conceded : Imortal 17, Os 11 Esperanças 16 + the penalty Offside : Imortal 0, Os 11 Esperanças 0 Shots on target : Imortal 4, Os 11 Esperanças 7 Shots off target : Imortal 5, Os 11 Esperanças 5 Shots blocked : Imortal 1, os 11 Esperanças 3 Corners : Imortal 4, Os 11 Esperanças 5 Yellow cards : Imortal 5, Os 11 Esperanças 3 Red Cards : Os 11 Esperanças 1. |

A quick note to say that Mario Duarte, a.k.a. Marocas, is currently the leading goalscorer in the Algarve League First Division with a tally of 11 from 15 games played. Walter Alves is Imortal's second top scorer, with 5 in 15 games.

Some info about Saturday's game. Three very useful points for Imortal, given the defeat for leaders Portimonense B by FC Os 11 Esperanças later that day. Imortal will be at home to the successful FC Os 11 Esperanças next Saturday, ko 1500hrs / 3pm. Herlander Tome put Imortal into the lead on 38 minutes. He does look a useful aquistion. He was previously with Lagos. Walter Alves doubled the lead early in the second half, while the third was an own goal on 66 minutes. Not that I am blaming the others, but since Inacio returned in goal Imortal have scored eight and conceded none in their three wins. Imortal team : Inacio; Prates, P Rodriges, Dragnev, Jose; Cintra, Coelho, T. Rodrigues, Alves; H. Tome and Duarte. Subs used : Vieira, Santos, Salvador, R. Tome (Ruca) and Martins. Just the one yellow card, for Cintra. |

Imortal 3 - 0 Odiáxere
Only a brief report as I couldn't be there. My man in the know tells that the game was pretty poor during the first half, nothing of note except visiting defender Kamgang being booked in the final minute for a foul on Alves. He was to regret that early in the second period, getting a second yellow for another foul on Alves. Midway through the half, things improved for Imortal with all three goals coming in a 15 minute burst of activity. First to score was Mauro José, heading in from a corner. Second was Duarte, converting a mystery penalty and third was Alves, blasting in after a good move down the right. Much abuse of the officials from the visitors apparently. The win keeps Imortal in third place, level on points with Ferreiras and four behind leaders Portimonense B. Next game is away at Olhanense on Saturday afternoon. Imortal team : Inacio; Prates, Pedro Rodrigues, Jose, Dragnev; Cintra, Alves, Antonio, Baldé; Duarte, H. Tome. Subs used : Tomas Rodrigues, Coelho, Santos. No-one booked! |

LUSITANO VRSA 0 - 2 IMORTAL ALBUFEIRA
Any win is a good win after so many without, but it was hard work against the bottom side. Started well enough to be 2-0 up within 15 minutes, but once ahead Imortal seemed to return to their sideways and backwards mode, preferring to keep the ball rather than be positive. In fact, Lusitano had more shots on target requiring goalkeeper David Inacio, back after a long absence, to be alert and alive. They also forced more corners than Imortal. The venue, Campo Francisco Gomes Socorro in Vila Real de Santo António, is minimalist. A narrow artificial turf pitch, with no seats and no raised areas for spectators to get a decent view. Still, it was only €2,50 to get in. ![]() ![]() and laid it square across the goal behind the ´keeper to Duarte who had an easy tap-in. Imortal were very much on the attack, with Baldé and Alves making good runs down the flanks in support or António and Duarte. The lead was doubled on fifteen minutes. Cintra floated a free kick into the danger area, bodies collided. Duarte claimed the final touch. From right behind the goal, I wasn't convinced. Imortal continued to attack for while until Alves was booked for diving (a bit harsh I thought) then Cintra saw yellow for a foul. The free kick count against Inmortal was getting ridiculous, with a total of 14 in the first half. Referee was far to picky, but saw fit to penalise Lusitano only twice. Couldn't get near enough to foul was one suggestion. Midway through the half it became very dark and gloomy, with a few spots of rain. Just as I was noting that Lusitano hadn't managed an attack, Igor Rocha brought Inacio into action, swiftly followed by Pedro Reis. Two good saves in two minutes. José Coelho lost the ball just outside the penalty area, then conceded a free kick. Inacio was called into action again, carefully tipping the kick over the crossbar. Things were getting a little agitated. Imortal's midfielder Dragnev was booked for a foul, Reis followed shortly after. Inacio had another save to make as the half came to a close. Imortal needed a couple of goals to make it safe. Chances came aplenty, but everything was off target. Jose headed just wide and did Duarte from close range. It took a very good tackle by Soussoko to stop a promising Imortal attack just as Cintra was about to cross to Duarte, unmarked. The need for goals became apparent on the field as well as off it. But the pressure didn't tell. A shot by substitute Martins was deflected, hit a goalpost then Tome blasted the rebound high over. A win's a win that keeps Imortal in third place, four points behind leaders Portimonense B. Next game will be on Saturday 18th January at home to Odiáxere, kickoff1500hrs / 3pm Imortal Team : Inacio; Prates, Jose, Dragnev, Sousa; Cintra, Coelho, Alves, Baldé; António, Duarte. Subs Used : Tomas Rodrigues, Tome, Vieira, Romeiro, Martins. Match statistics : Free kicks conceded : Imortal 23, Lusitano 5 Offside : Imortal 1, Lusitano 3 Shots on target : Imortal 3, Lusitano 5 Shots off target : Imortal 11, Lusitano 1 Shots blocked : 0 Corners: Imortal 6, Lusitano 8 Yellow cards : Imortal 3 Lusitano 3 Red Cards : 0 |

IMORTAL 1 - 1 MONCARAPACHENSE B
A very frustrating afternoon. Despite being completely dominant in possession, Imortal were unable to break down the stubborn defence of the team at the bottom of the league. Once again, for too much of the time, the emphasis was in keeping the ball rather than show some urgency. The visitors had gone ahead just after half time with their only effort on target and it wasn't until substitute Vicente Martins' equaliser on 70 minutes that Imortal unwound and really started to play. The team was reshuffled from the defeat by Silves in the Cup. Froita was back in goal, Pedro Rodrigues returned to central defence and there was a new face in midfield in the shape of one José Antonio, who had been playing in Cyprus and before that in U-19 teams in the Lisbon area. Absent completely from the squad were Rangel, Tome, Almeida and Dragnev. The first twenty minutes were tedious in the extreme. Neither side did much more than tap the ball around midfield. Imortal's Santos woke up the small crowd with a shot from 25 metres that was well saved low down by´keeper Moraes. Nothing came of the corner, as it didn't with the other five in that half. Moraes managed to get himself booked for time-wasting after just 27 minutes. There was a decided oddity also in that the first free kick award, apart from offside, was not until the 26th minute! Imortal did then put a little pressure on the defenders. A good overlap run down the left by Prates, a pass inside to Coelho but the defenders closed him down before he could get the shot away. Another good cross from Prates found Duarte in front of goal. He headed nicely past the ´keeper but was flagged offside. The visitors opened the second half with a couple of attacks, which probably took Imortal by surprise. They won a corner, which was delivered well into the crowded goalmouth. Imortal's defenders were static as Gustavo Pinto headed powerfully into the net. Imortal's captain Rodrigues was visibly not amused. There was a response from Imortal, but at first ineffective. Baldé was doing good work down the right wing. A cross found Duarte, who laid the ball off to Coelho but his tame effort was easily stopped. A couple of minutes later, Duarte inexplicably headed a cross backwards instead of going for goal. Imortal made their first two changes on the customary hour mark. Alves replaced Sousa, Tomas Rodrigues replaced António. Baldé delivered another good ball in from the right, but Cintra sidefooted just over the crossbar from the edge of the penalty area. The floodlights were coming on, it was so gloomy but oddly only one set, pointing at the end Imortal were attacking. Baldé was in the action again, this time his cross almost reached Duarte, but a defender's foot intervened. Vicente Martins came on for his début on 65 minutes. His previous club had been Moncarapachense. Things livened up. One of the visiting coaching staff was yellow carded for a hysterical tantrum over a free kick decision, to the amusement of most present. Then, at last, a breakthrough for Imortal. It was Martins who was in the right place when a free kick delivered by Baldé flicked off a head into open space about 15 metres out. He fairly blasted the ball on the volley past the helpless goalkeeper. A nice way to mark your first appearance, especially against the team you played for until a month ago! Duarte headed straight at the goalkeeper and then was flagged offside when another chance went begging. Alves shot from distance, the goalkeeper fumbled but no-one was on hand for the rebound. Seven minutes added time was announced. Time for Imortal to fashion three more scoring opportunities. The first was a poor free kick from Coelho straight at the ´keeper. Alves, busyas ever, hit a powerful shot over the bar and then, with literally the last kick of the game, Martins toe poked the ball inches wide of the post. Imortal are third in the league, four points behind leaders Portimonense B. Next week they travel to Lusitano VRSA who now occupy bottom spot. That's surely a must win if any hope of a promotion challenge is to be maintained. Imortal team : Froita; Prates, P Rodrigues, Sousa, Baldé; Cintra, Coelho, António, Vieira; Santos, Duarte. Subs used : T Rodrigues, Alves, Romeiro and Martins. Match Statistics Free kicks conceded :Imortal 5 (!), Moncapachense 9 Offside : Imortal 5, Moncarapachense 0 Shots on target : Imortal 5, Moncarpachense 1 Shots off target : Imortal 6, Moncarpachense 2 Shots blocked : Imortal 1, Moncarapchense 0 Corners : Imortal 9, Moncarpachense 3 Yellow cards : Imortal 0, Moncrapachense 3 Red cards : 0 |

IMORTAL ALBUFEIRA 0 - 1 SILVES
Algarve Cup Second Round Another highly frustrating afternoon. Despite having most of the possession and many more goal chances, Imortal fell to a third successive defeat in league and cup. The goals have dried up! They were once again caught out by a big boot upfield when pressing for the equaliser. The first half was, statistically, almost a non-event apart from the twelve free kicks and Silves 38th minute goal. The second half was better, apart from the 22 free kicks the referee deemed necessary. Both teams made changes from the league match three weeks ago. Matheus Bova was rewarded for his many weeks on the bench with a start in goal. He had almost nothing to do the entire game and wasn't at fault for the goal. Pedro Rodrigues was still absent, Duarte took the captain's armband. Silves made wholesale changes, five new faces in the starting lineup compared with the league game. People were still coming in twenty minutes after the kickoff and missed Imortal's first chance, set up by Alves with across that Duarte hit towards goal. That effort was blocked, the rebound fell to Rangel but he stabbed the ball wide from close range. Silves forward Souza had a weak shot on the half hour, one of only two 'saves' Bova had to make. Their goal came shortly afterwards. A good run down the left by Imortal's Dragnev was spoiled when he held onto the ball too long instead of crossing. He lost the ball which was sent miles upfield. It fell kindly to the feet of Souza, haring towards goal. Bova was a little way off his line and could only watch as the perfect shot from 25 metres out sailed high over him and into the net. Imortal made a decent start to the second half, a great cross from Rangel just eluding Duarte and Baldé on the far post. Baldé was putting in some good work down the right, Alves was all over the field as usual, including chasing back into defence to stop a swift breakaway attack. Imortal's Cintra and Silves defender Boonstoppel had a nasty clash of heads, both were down for a while with Cintra needing some patching up. Silves were trying for their second goal, but nothing came of their efforts. Imortal almost went ahead but a super save from Silva denied Sousa's header from a Baldé cross. Immediately Silves defender Machado went down in front of goal, the usual tactic to break up the flow of the game later copied by their goalkeeper. A welcome sight among the substitutes coming on was Mateus Vieira, his first appearance since the second game of the season way back in early October. Imortal had huge shout for a penalty when Baldé was dragged down, nothing doing. Silves were conceding free kicks every 30 seconds it seemed, anything to frustrate Imortal, which it did. There was a decent effort on goal from Dragnev, but it needed only a routine save. Baldé found the head of Duarte with another good cross from the right but the header went straight at the ´keeper. Eight minutes of added time was announced. Alves shot straight at the ´keeper as tempers threatened to boil over. Silves huge Machado was winning every header and kept things under control. Imortal had a corner which he headed clear in the last moment before the final whistle. Where are the goals coming from? Three games without a goal, only three goals scored in the last five games all told, all of which were on that same afternoon in the 3-2 league win over Silves. Also and I don't know if this coincidence or not, Imortal haven't kept a clean sheet since David Inacio was replaced in goal. No game next weekend while the semi-professionals and their clubs have some time off. Next game for Imortal will be on Saturday 4th January, at home to bottom side Moncarpachense B kickoff 1500hrs. That surely is a game that must be won! Imortal are third in the league as it stands and cannot afford to drop more points as the league has only ten more games in the second phase before the split. Imortal team : Bova; Prates, Jose, Cintra, Dragnev; Coelho, Alves, Baldé, Salvador; Duarte, Rangel. Subs used : Tomas Rodrigues, Sousa, Vieira and Santos. Match statistics Free kicks conceded : Imortal 12, Silves 22! Offside Imortal 1, Silves 1 Shots on target : Imortal 4, Silves 2 Shots off target : Imortal 2, Silves 1 Shots blocked : Imortal 3, Silves 1 Corners : Imortal 4, Silves 4 Yellow cards : Imortal 2, Silves 2 Red Cards : none |
