The
first phase of the 2022 Lisbon Veterans Tournament
would be decided on a group basis. There was
one group with 5 teams and one group with 6
teams.
Each
team would play each other team in their group
once and therefore 4/5 group games. After which,
depending on position, they would progress to
the Cup or Plate competition.
The
teams finishing 1st and 2nd in each group would
progress to the Cup competition. This was played
as a knock-out phase with Quarter-Finals, Semi-Finals
and Final.
The
teams finishing 3rd and 4th in each group would
progress to the Plate competition. This was
played as a knock-out phase with Quarter-Finals,
Semi-Finals and Final.
The
teams finishing 5th and 6th in each group would
be eliminated at this stage.
The
next two teams up on Pitch 5 were Les 5 Salopards
and The Warriors. This game was evenly matched
for the opening period until two goals in two
minutes around the midway stage swung the game
firmly in favour of Les 5 Salopards. Yanick
Jista scored both goals. Paul Janman reduced
the deficit to 2-1 a couple of minutes from
time but there was not enough time on the clock
for them to rescue a draw. Full-time, 2-1.
