In the preview of the game, the coach of Portimonense António Folha had said that "it would be excellent" to get a second round as good as the first. The team seems to have listened and went to Estádio do Bessa to beat Boavista by 2-0, which means that the Algarvians started the second half of the championship better and are starting to be a serious candidate for a place. European.
A revenge of the Algarve, who, in the championship's debut, lost at home to Boavista 2-0, began to be drawn at 21 minutes. Dener recovered a ball in the offensive area of Portimonense and served Wellington, who, in front of the goalkeeper, shot into the back of the goal.
Despite being at a disadvantage and playing at home, Boavista could not create any danger near the goal of the Algarve. Portimonense was still looking for the second.
The marker didn't change until half-time, but it wouldn't stay quiet until the end of the game. On 78 minutes, Lucas Fernandes made an exquisite pass, which unmarked Wellington. Against the goalkeeper, the forward did not forgive and scored twice in the match.
With this result, Portimonense continues in the 8th position, but shortens distances for the teams that are around the 5th place, which everything indicates that it will give access to European competitions. This is taking into account that the four teams that have a chance of winning the Portuguese Cup are the same ones that occupy the top four positions in the championship – and already at a considerable distance from the other teams.
Portimonense now has 27 points, two less than Belenenses, ranked 5th.
