Estádio Algarve | 21.30 | 1-1 | Inaugural Algarve Challenge Cup featuring Cardiff City FC, Celtic FC, Middlesbrough FC and Vitoria de Guimaraes. Held in the Estádio Algarve. The tournament was a modified league system where
teams get 3 points for a win and 1 for a draw.
In addition to this a point is awarded for every
goal scored. This, they hope, will promote attacking
football. So a 3-3 draw would get a team the same
number of points as a 1-0 victory. |
