Santa Clara scored his first league win, in a comeback against Maritimo to close the score 2-1 (0-1, in the first half).

In addition to the internal instability between SAD and the club that affected the Maderan players, the team saw two athletes leave the field of play in the first 15 minutes (Pablo Moreno and Matthews were injured), misfortunes that were compensated for by good performances in the match. Which led, for example, to the Xadas goal, in the 36th minute.

The Azores were having a lot of difficulty moving the ball and were uninspired in trying to moderate the mark’s run until the end of the first half.

Misfortune was also observed in Paulo Eduardo’s style of Diogo Mendes’ attack in the area, as the referee pointed to the penalty point. However, Joel Tagoyo sent the ball to the post…

The additions of Alano and Ricardinho confirmed Mario Silva’s formation and Santa Clara’s dynamics improved significantly. Occupation of space led to the victory of a penalty kick – Alano converted in the 52nd minute – and in the movement ended Mateusz Pape in the 60th minute, which resulted in 2-1. This is at a time when the match referee had already sent off Andre Vidigal for the surprise entry into Sagna, in the 53rd minute.

Maritimo remains without points in the competition…
