Belenenses is still in the relegation zone, but has put pressure on its direct rivals. This Saturday morning, there was no lack of commitment and positive aggression towards the triumph for 1-0 against the Academic.
Aware of the urgency to win points, the Blues entered the game well and felt comfortable with the ball at their feet. Despite the more expectant stance, the visitors were also focused on hurting their opponent. In different ways, the danger ended up being shared by both goals.
David Grilo and João Monteiro – Domen Grill was not in Jorge Simão’s options – prevented the goal from arriving, the celebration that was missing from a first half that was quite interesting to follow.
After rest, the tune was the same. Mariano Barreto turned to his bench earlier and was rewarded with the decisive goal scored by Ricardo Matos, who had just entered the field. Good pass from Rúben Pina to serve his teammate, who had some luck when finishing.
Until the end, Académico had no weapons to turn the game around and the home team was closer to scoring. Despite their comfortable position in the table, Jorge Simão’s men haven’t won in seven games.
In the next round, the visit to UD Oliveirense is expected to be very important for the attempt to save Belenenses. In turn, Académico is in ninth place, far from making the most of the good weapons he has in the squad.
