Ewerton, of the Scholar of Viseu, was elected the goalkeeper of the month of the 1st League, but it was necessary to resort to the tie-breaker criteria to ‘take off the teems’ with Diogo Costa of FC Porto.

A Liga Portugal announced, in the form of a communiqué issued through the official platforms at the beginning of the afternoon of Tuesday, that Ewerton, the Academic of Viseu was elected goalkeeper of the month of the main echelon of national football, regarding the period arising between September and October.
The Brazilian saw, in this way, duly recognized a space of time in which he helped the team oriented by Bruno Pinheiro to add five triumphs to the end of the five contested days (about Gil Vicente, for 0-1, Vitória SC, for 2-1, Estrela da Amadora, for 0-2, Estoril, for 2-1, and Sporting, for 1-2), having awarded only four goals.
The 28-year-old player collected 24.07% of the votes of the coaches who militate in the I League... precisely the same ones that were deposited in the captain of FC Porto, Diogo Costa. However, he stresses the note, won the trophy for counting “with less time of use, totaling 488 minutes against 593”.
Ewerton was, moreover, one of the most visible faces of the course that the Academic of Viseu carried out until the sixth place of the I League, where he lives with 20 points conquered, as much as the Arouca, which is immediately ahead of him, in that which is the last post of access to European competitions.
To close the podium, Ignacio De Arruabarrena was left, which added 21.3% of the preferences, after a cycle in which Arouca performed five matches, with two victories (over Alverca, 0-1, and Famalicão, by 1-0), two draws (against Estoril, the ‘zeros’, and Sporting, the two balls) and a defeat (before Santa Clara, by 1-2).
In the coming days, as usual, the Liga Portugal will disclose the winners of the other categories, in relation to the defense of the month, in the middle of the month, the advance of the month, the young of the month, the coach of the month, the player of the month and finally the goal of the month (this last one, open to the vote of the fans).
Dani Rebollo throws the party in the II League
If, in the I League, the prize for goalkeeper of the month ended up in the hands of Ewerton, in the II League, the same was attributed to Dani Rebollo, of the AVS, in this case, without the need to resort to the tiebreaker criteria, since he had 23.74% of the votes of the coaches of this competition, which allowed him to overcome the competition of Miguel Oliveira, of Penafiel, and Diogo Ferreira, of Benfica B, who stayed, respectively, for 22,22 and 14,14%.
This was the natural reward for a sequence of good exhibitions, which proved to be preponderant for the set now commanded by Jorge Silas to add two victories (over Penafiel, 1-2, and Tondela, 2-1), a draw (before Farense, without goals) and two defeats (against Lusitania of Lourosa and Union of Leiria, both for 2-1), after five rounds held.
The AVS, remember, currently occupies the 11th position of the second echelon of Portuguese football, with 13 points, more five than the Sports of Keys (the team that lives immediately above the water line), and less four than the Union of Leiria (the last of the formations positioned to rise from division).
