Ricardo Matos (footballer, born 1979)

Ricardo Filipe Rodrigues Matos (born 15 February 1979) is a Portuguese retired footballer who played as a goalkeeper.

Club career
Born in Santo Ildefonso (Porto), Matos competed in the Portuguese fourth division for the better part of his career, having two spells in the third: in the 1999–2000 season he played with G.D.R.C. Os Sandinenses, representing G.D. Ribeirão in 2007–08.

In the 2008–09 campaign, Matos was second-choice at Varzim S.C. in the Segunda Liga. In the following summer, aged already 30, he signed for Primeira Liga side Vitória F.C. along with nine other players, despite the club's precarious financial situation.

Matos acted as backup in his first season in Setúbal, making his first official appearance on 8 May 2010 in a 1–2 home defeat against already relegated C.F. Os Belenenses. Vitória narrowly managed to avoid the drop.
