Estadio Municipal Fernando Cabrita, Lagos
Admission: Euro 7
Attendance: 225 (h/c)
Drink: Small Super Bock 1 Euro
The set up in Portugal this season has changed at Level 3 where below the Primeira Liga and Liga de Honra is the revamped Campeonato Nacional Level split into 8 Groups, A-H. Lagos find themselves in Group H with 2 other Algarve sides, Louletano and Quarteirense. The ground is located to the North of the Lagos Marina and Train/Bus stations. A McDonalds is on the roundabout about 200 metres from the Ground.
I was holidaying in Alvor and as matches are usually played on a Sunday, the Bus and Train Services are scarce and I had to pay for a Taxi (33 Euros) on the trip back. The bus ticket there however was only around 4 Euros. The last bus back is 6pm so when the league reverts to 3pm kick offs in October there should be no problem.
As it was very warm, the game started at a slow pace but after 12 minutes, Lagos went ahead when the number 22 headed in at the far post. Both teams played a 4-2-3-1 formation until the No17 needed to be substituted after falling badly with what looked like a dislocated shoulder on 33 mins. The away side then played with 2 up front and were awarded a penalty on 40 minutes for handball by the left back (no29) as he tried to chest a cross clear. The no10 fired the penalty into the top of the net.
The second half was an even affair with the best chance from the away header from a free kick hitting the crossbar with 20 minutes left. The home keeper also flicked a shot onto and over the bar and from the corner made a double save, one at close range. A reaction save right at the end kept the scores level at full time.
