Farense drew XNUMX-XNUMX with Penafiel at Estádio de São Luís, in a game in which each team wasted a penalty.
The division of points leaves the Algarve in the 20th position of the II League, the first that gives the right to relegation (in 2015/16, 5 teams are down), having been overtaken by Benfica B in the league table, despite being equal on points with the Lisbon team. .
The game could have gone very differently, for the home team, if Osama Rashid had not allowed Ivo Gonçalves to defend, by scoring a penalty, in the 16th minute of the game. Until half-time, Farense was on top of the game and managed to create several goalscoring opportunities, without realizing them.
In the second half, Penafiel came in much bolder and balanced the match. In the 70th minute, he even benefited from a penalty, but the goalkeeper Faro São Bento saved Rui Miguel's shot.
With this outcome, the Algarvians continue to have strong reasons for concern, despite being able to keep their hopes up, with only 7 games remaining until the end of the championship. Farense follows in 20th position, with 45 points, closely followed by Santa Clara and Leixões (44 points), but, at the same time, glued to the teams that are higher in the league table, namely Benfica B (45 points), to Guimarães B (46) and Academician from Viseu and Mafra (48).
