Rafa was the figure of the triumph of the eagles in Barcelos
• Photo: José Gageiro/Movephoto
A dominating 1st half, with Di Maria and João Mário dictating laws, was followed by a lack of control after the 2-0, which was never peaceful. Thanks Rafa always in high rotation, Kökçü imposing rhythm and the inevitable… Musa
TO FIGURE: Rafa (4)
3 Games 3 Goals
From acceleration to acceleration, it created a handful of imbalances and still appeared in the heart of the small area to finish for the 2-0. He would have had the ideal decision-making capacity and perhaps the game would not have been tight until the final whistle, but, all in all, he performed another excellent performance and proves a well above average start to the season. Three goals in three games is not for everyone.
Samuel Soares (2)
2J 2GS
A beautiful defense to close the 1st half and above average quality playing with the feet. So far so good, too bad the 2-1 picture didn’t look good afterwards.
Bah (3)
3J 0G
Strangely withdrawn until the break, he grew in the game offensively in the 2nd half and, in the defensive chapter, he proved to be safe.
Antonio Silva (3)
3J 0G
A great cut at 90’+2 is the perfect mirror of an extremely competent performance, with many defensive actions and with efficiency in the 1st phase of construction.
Otamendi (3)
3J 0G
Specialist to burn lines with good passes in the 1st half, then donned the overalls in the tightest phase.
Aursnes (3)
3J 0G
He showed good understanding with João Mário and appeared several times in offensive zones. It’s his assist for Rafa to make it 2-0.
Florentino (3)
3J 0G
Alternated interceptions and recoveries of possession with some wrong passes that could have been compromising. He left as a precaution after seeing yellow.
Rooter (3)
3J 0G
The team grows when it grabs the game by the collar and takes over the baton. The way he found Rafa between the lines at the beginning of the 2-0 game is ace.
Say Maria (3)
3J 2G
A high-level 1st half, with chances created and several successful dribbles. Then he disappeared and showed little commitment to defensive tasks.
Joao Mario (3)
2J 0G
He won the penalty and is in the 2-0 move, in a game in which he knew how to set the pace. The team got worse when he was passed over.
Arthur Cabral (1)
2J 0G
He only touched the ball 12 times and came close to scoring with a header following a free-kick. Still looks like a fish out of water.
Neres (2)
3J 0G
Some dangerous accelerations and he almost scored.
Tengsted (1)
2J 1G
Difficulties holding the ball and no opportunities to score.
Joao Neves (3)
3J 0G
He refreshed his brain and, with just one touch within reach of the best, offered Musa the 3-1. It’s one of those who don’t cheat.
Chiquinho (1)
3J 0G
Unfortunate approach when making the foul that results in the free kick that ends up dictating the final result.
Musa (3)
2J 1G
He entered and, after 36 seconds, scored the point. A game in your style, therefore.
A dominating 1st half, with Di Maria and João Mário dictating laws, was followed by a lack of control after the 2-0, which was never peaceful. Thanks Rafa always in high rotation, Kökçü imposing rhythm …
