Not even with a Portable and Academic Penalty left square one

Uineffective Portimonese, who wasted a series of goals opportunities, today tied 0-0 with Academica, in play of the 11th round of the II Football League.

Although the Coimbra team had more ball in the first minutes, the first part, although far from being well played, had algarvio ascendant.

The Portimonense took over the reins of the meeting, while the Academica was exploring the counterattack, but without great discretion and, when the opposing goal was tied, seldom made the best decisions.

In turn, Portimonese, after a threat to the 14th minute, had a great opportunity to advance on the marker near the interval. At the 45th minute, Marcos Paulo crawled Ney Silva within the area and the referee did not hesitate to mark a great penalty, which Favero could not fool the Academic goalkeeper, who guessed the side of the shot and held the null to the interval.

In the second part, the Algarves kept their ‘foot on the accelerator’ and could have scored at minute 49. Yépié Yépié, with a strong shot from outside the area, forced Victor Braga to another great defense.

Moreover, the Academic goalkeeper was even the great highlight of the whole second half, making several defenses that kept the null in the result, having, at 59 minutes, diverted a shot from Nakajima to the dash, while at 90+5, Ericson also hit the academic iron.

Game played at Portimão Municipal.
