The inaugural journey of the Futsal League started with a poster game… which justified the expectations it fed: Benfica, national champion, visited SC Braga, candidate for the title, and only a goal only a 2-1 final after a game in which the eagles had to suffer by merit of the value of the opponent. Wasted two great penalties and one free of ten meters.
Benfica starred in a very strong entrance in play and, in the first minute, a penalty was failed by hand on the Mamadu Turé ball, but in the conversion André Coelho shot beside. A waste that did not prevent the eagles from being advanced early in the marker, just the second minute of the game, through a slalom individual of Silvestre Ferreira.
The game was interesting, with opportunities in both beacons, and the next few minutes were dominated by the Minho Warriors, who were close to equalizing at 11 ‘, in a bid in which Silvestre Ferreira earned Benfica with a cut on the line, and at 15’ was André Correia, with an excellent intervention, who denied the goal to Vitão.
Until the break, the title champion returned to control and had two sovereign occasions to reach 2-0: alligator threw to the post at 16 ‘, and at 19’, in a bid that motivated the expulsion of Braga Rafael Henmi, Afonso Jesus threw over the conversion, in the second penalty wasted by the whole light.
Benfica finished the first half on top and was maintaining the trend in the second until from the final ten minutes SC Braga pulled the gallons, in an effort to nullify the disadvantage and, after a new cut Salvador on the line (this time, by Afonso Jesus), at 33 ‘, and another great defense of André Correia at 35’, the Braga would even work at the corner of the corner, well -worked. Mamadu and Hugo Neves, who shot to tell.
The final minutes gained even greater interest, with the two teams to risk the victory that would smile at the eagles, at 38 ‘, in a good way to Higor at the entrance of the area that guaranteed a new advantage, this definitive time, but not before last moments of emotion – Sporting de Braga still willing two situations to match and, in the final seconds, Arthur was a free of one meter with a free one meters finishing to the post.
