Ricardo Filipe Rodrigues Matos (born 15 February 1979 in Santo Ildefonso (Porto)) is a Portuguese retired footballer who played as a goalkeeper.
Football career
For the better part of his career Matos played in the Portuguese fourth division, having two spells in the third: in the 1999–2000 season he played with Grupo Desportivo Recreativo e Cultural Dragões Sandinenses, representing G.D. Ribeirão in 2008.
In the 2008–09 campaign, Matos was second-choice with Varzim S.C. in the second level. In the following summer, aged already 30, he signed for Primeira Liga side Vitória de Setúbal along with nine other players, despite the club's precarious financial situation.
In his first season in Setúbal, Matos acted as backup, 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.
