The Loulé fans once again had the support of many fans, despite the bad weather, who had the opportunity to see an intense and emotional game, until the end.
The home team, among which André Coelho stood out, responsible for all the points achieved by his team, were winning with a minute to go, but could not hold the result.
The first part was very balanced and ended with a draw by 3 points, without either team being able to score a trial. Loulé Rugby even started better in the second half and quickly put the result in 6-3, through a penalty kick. Shortly after, at a time when the Loulé team were being penalized with a temporary expulsion, Vitória managed to make a trial and went ahead of the marker.
The home team still had the strength to react and put themselves in advantage again, again through a penalty kick, changing the result to 9 to 8, but the visitors managed another test in the last minute of the game and ensured the victory. The Loulé team ended up with the consolation prize, the point
defensive bonus, as he lost by less than 7 points.
Currently, the Rugby Clube de Loulé team occupies sixth place in the league table with the same points as Sport Lisboa e Benfica and one more than the Vitória de Setúbal team.
