A the second division of England continues to be on the rise and with the Portuguese coaches highlighted for several reasons, with the matches of Tuesday to mark the beginning of the tenth journey of the Championship.
Swansea went to Millwall's ground in an ever-complicated trip to The Den to try to keep his championship leadership alive.
Coach Luso Vítor Matos has been doing a very interesting job and does not disarm the ambition of the emblem of Wales to rise again to the Premier League.
The truth is that it was necessary to wait until close to the sound of the gong to see a goal to be scored in London, with Ronald putting the visiting sector in euphoria with a kick at 90 minutes of play, only six minutes after entering Moussa Kounfolo Yeo's place in the attack.
With this triumph, the truth is that the sensation of the Swansea championship managed to keep its place at the top for one more journey, reaching 23 points in 10 games played, getting a margin of manoeuvre for the second place, which could have been greater if it were not for Middlesbrough to undo the late draw on Stoke to win and keep the distance of two points for the swans.
César Peixoto has trouble at home
Well, if Vítor Matos achieved another triumph in his walk, his countryman César Peixoto was not as lucky in the duel between Wolverhampton and Bolton Wanderers.
The group of wolves, who descended in the previous season directly from the Premier League, have had some difficulty getting used to the new life in the second echelon, suffering a severe blow at the Molineux.
The game began immediately with a negative news for the Portuguese class, when Atsuki Ito made the inaugural goal from the visiting midfield, placing a result at 0-1, which remained even until the resorts collected.
The meeting seemed to have a new life when Bellegarde made the draw goal at five minutes after the start, but Bolton had other ideas and even stamped the three points, with the help of a former player from Casa Pia, as Gaizka Larrazabal watched, at 72 minutes, Sam Dalby for the second goal outside the night and leave Caesar Peixoto in bad sheets.
