The champion’s season is closed. In a game in which Bruno Pineiro’s side left much to be desired on the offensive level, the successful 2020/21 season ended successfully with a 1-0 win over Mafra. Ligue One follows.

In a game that, from the very beginning, had no special history for either team – Estoril was already a champion and won a trophy in this match, while Mafra was already guaranteed maintenance – two coaches took the opportunity to swap the teams and give several possibilities in this Lisbon duel.

On the part of Estoril, Bruno Pinheiro made six substitutions against the starting lineup, losing with a score 3×2 against SC Covilhã, resulting in Bernardo Vital and Ciquinho, as well as Pedro Empis, Carles Soria, Joao Gamboa and André Clovis. On the other hand, Ricardo Sousa also moved in relation to the owners of the previous game (0x1 together with Aroc), in which five changes were made, namely the recordings of Thomas Domingos, Bruno Silva, Carlos Daniel, Abel Camar and João Gras.

Champion efficiency

Faced with the title champion, Mafra began by losing possession of the ball to Estoril in the first minutes and betting heavily on the counterattack and speed of his more advanced players, where striker Rodrigo Martins stood out, which caused some headaches for the players. oppose the defense with diagonals towards the middle – although the first major case belonged to Abel Kamara.

However, as the match continued, Mafra increased the intensity of the game and used the “relaxation” of Bruno Pineiro’s team to strengthen his pressure lines, get more ball and touch Estoril more and more in his zone. The title champions had a hard time building an attack, and without separate initiatives of the energetic Chihinho or some positional exchanges between Bruno Lourenzo and Andre Franco, they did not create danger.

Salaya’s team had excellent possession and created several chances, although there was no goal against Nuno Macedo, but he felt so comfortable in the match that for the first time he was surprised that Estoril managed to add some intensity to his attacking play. and for this it was necessary that the side Carles Soria appeared.

The Spaniard started a good game of understanding the right flank in Estoril, almost every move from the first touch and with the inclusion of several colleagues, and already in the penalty area forced Joao Godinho to a good defense, Andre Franco ran into a completely abandoned goal, to get an advantage over the champions for a break in the game in which they did little or nothing to make it happen.

Eye training in 2021/22

After the first half, which left much to be desired, despite its efficiency, Estoril returned from the resorts in full swing and in less than two minutes almost expanded his advantage, but Andre Clovis scandalously lost in the person of Joao Godinho. This was the culmination of the second half as both teams resigned themselves to the result, which made the game less stressful and engaging.

Despite the obvious qualitative decline in the game, Estoril never missed the two usual groups of fans located at opposite ends of the field, near the stadium, who sang lightly for almost the entire second half and celebrated the end of the match. a good period of your team’s season.

Even in a game that was not “interested” in anything, Bruno Pineiro brought the “heavyweights” – Miguel Crespo, Aziz and Joaozinho (and also Vidigala later) into the game for the last half hour, but the game did not go out of rhythm. low intensity training, and Ricardo Sousa facilitated the exit of young guardian Filipe Neves (who has already played two games). Apart from some of the midfielder’s attempts by Mafra, there was not much to highlight, and Estoril ended the season with a 1-0 win over Mafra, marking the rise with the right to receive the championship trophy at the end.
