Kamazha fall to Floorgreid in Portuguese Cup upset
Kamazha hosted Floorgreid in the Round of 128 of the Portuguese Cup on September 27, 2026, and the visitors edged through 1-0. It was a narrow escape for Floorgreid, who had to weather Kamazha's pressure before finding a way through.
The opening exchange turned on a penalty that Kamazha couldn't convert at the 18th minute. They paid for that sloppy opening—missed the spot and then had to chase the game for another hour and a half. To be fair, Floorgreid kept their side in it through that period, absorbing the pressure without breaking.
The decisive moment came late, when Floorgreid finally broke through in the 85th minute. By then, Kamazha had already seen it out of their chances, and the visitors turned to the kids to finish the job. They ran riot in those final minutes, capitalizing on the tired legs they'd been facing.
The statistics tell a different story. Kamazha dominated possession at 56% and generated 124 attacks compared to Floorgreid's 95. They had six shots on target and six off, while the visitors managed just one on target and two off. But many shots with one goal means chances went begging—Kamazha created plenty but couldn't find the net until it was too late.
Floorgreid's away victory sends them into the Round of 64, while Kamazha's cup campaign ends here. They'll have to reflect on what could have been, especially after that missed penalty so early on.
