Campos saved Stuart Truscott’s spot kick by getting a strong hand to the ball diving to his right, thwarting the striker for a second time – he had also denied him a little early by smothering the Magpies man’s shot after he had burst clear.It was a game in which both goalkeeper’s showed good form, Tony Carlyon also making a couple of good saves at the other end of the field.Magpies started well and they were a goal ahead after five minutes when Peter Warrell twisted his head well to nod home a Truscott cross.Less than a minute later Portuguese were level as Gabriel Marques also used his head to beat Carlyon into a top corner following a good ball into the penalty area from player-manager José-Manuel Vieira.Both sides worked hard to get the vital hold of midfield and although Portuguese had slightly more of the possession it was Magpies who created – but also squandered – the best of the opportunities.Vieira also crashed a free kick onto and over Magpies’ crossbar, midway through the second half, before, 15 minutes from the end, Pedro Lopes got across his marker on a near post to touch home Portuguese Club’s second goal following a fine run up the right from Carlos Carolo.Portuguese play Trinity in the second round at the IJ Bathe Field on Saturday 10 January, 2004.Magpies: Tony Carlyon; Haydn Bechemin, Fintan Kennedy, James Ollivro, Mark Holley, Jason Reynolds, Chad Morris, Peter Warrell, Paul Cosgrove, Jason Newman, Stuart Truscott.
