Cruel end for Tombense as CSA pounce
There is no crueller way to lose a football match. CSA scored in the 92th minute, the restart barely happened, and the away end was still standing when the whistle went.

No sign of nerves from Pepeu at 20 — 7.82
The hardest thing about being 20 in a senior side is that nobody makes allowances. Pepeu did not need any: 7.82, and he looked the most comfortable man on the pitch.

A defender on the scoresheet, which happens rarely enough that everybody in the ground remembers who took the corner. 1 for him, and a mark of 7.62 for the rest of it.

Tempers go at CSA
Camacho was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.
