Ricardo Filipe Rodrigues Matos (born 15 February 1979) is a Portuguese retired footballer who played as a goalkeeper.
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.[1] In the following summer, aged already 30, he signed for Primeira Liga side Vitória F.C. along with nine other players,[2] despite the club's precarious financial situation.[3]
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.[4] Vitória narrowly managed to avoid the drop.
