The ball was kept low and moved very fast with oblique pazace which continually jeopardised the Police goal. The most effective phase of the forwards' work was in the last quarter of an hour, when they all but overran the opposing defence.

Delgado delighted with the man ner in which he made the most of his opportunities, while I liked the way Gomes and Alves worked together.

It was the Recreio who went ahead after half time, Delgado again doing the trick, and Bowen should have given them a 8-1 lead, but missed badly from the 12 yards spot.
