A the eighth day of the I Liga is at cruising speed and this Saturday night two meetings were held at 8:30 p.m., with Académico de Viseu measuring forces before Estoril Praia, and a Pia-Santa Clara House was also played, which was scheduled for 3:30 p.m. this day, but the complications in the voyage of the Azoreans did not allow the match to be played at this time.
And we even started with the meeting of the Estádio do Fontelo, which placed the eighth and the last ranked in duel, with the newly promoted class creating more opportunities in the initial minutes, which proved to be crucial to breaking the ice.
This is because Cihan Kahraman, a medium of Turkey representing the Scholar of Viseu, took advantage of the pass of the French defense Anthony Correia, inaugurated the marker at 29 minutes, with a goal that raised the benches of the Fontelo for the joy of the supporters present.
The result remained until the break and Vasco Matos could feel something wrong, since he saw his team from Estoril Praia take care of the chances of danger from the right shot of the Visenses, but none of them managed to hit the bottom of the nets of the team of the house.
But the talk of former coach Santa Clara must have been harsh, since the entrance of the storrilists ended up bearing fruit 10 minutes after the resumption, with the duo of João Carvalho and Rafik Guitane doing damage, after the Portuguese had watched the Algerian for the goal of the draw.
The truth is that this moment was important to visitors, but it was not decisive, since Viseu's team had yet another card up their sleeve, after Soufiane Messegam threw it into the bottom of the nets with a goal of beautiful effect at 88 minutes.
In this way, the Academic makes 14 points and rises to the fifth place, although to the condition, with Estoril Praia not being able, once again, to add a victory, maintaining the last position, with only two points won in the eight contested journeys.
