“It was necessary to compete to win. Boavista at home has an impressive record, losing only here with the championship leader and being considered by many to be one of the best teams in Europe. That, in and of itself, says a lot about Boavista’s strength at home. We knew we would find an opponent behind us. , but we went back to the game without the ball and we understood the paths we had to take with the ball. Boavista stifled our internal game and we knew it had to be from the outside and deep down”, commented Vitor Bruno, assessing the team’s position in the second half.

“We went into the second half to win, in the second half Boavista was still threatened at the start and we had some luck with the ball on the post, which could have given 2-1 and messed up the match.
